AOL is not the only ISP that used transparent proxies.. I run another forum myself with phpBB and had to practically ditch the IP tracking because of problems like these.. what ISP do you use?

lower the security setting of internet explorer perhaps? that has always given me trouble on msg boards before.

That's absolutely the crux of the issue. I don't want to do any heavy modding of the IP tracking, but it can be such a pain...

Ya see....here's where the problem comes in. You do not think for yourself....if I tell you to do something, YOU DO IT. Jeez, some sweatshop workers just don't get it these days :lol:

An ISP is your Internet Service Provider. By that I mean whatever company you dial into in order to get online. This could be AOL, Verizon, or your cable provider. IP Addres is the address used to track you. It's your address on the internet to your comptuer...just like your home address points to your house. There ya go, wish I could help with the invalid sessions but I'll look into it..enjoy

Find Line 250 in the file /includes/sessions.php.. there is the IP tracking.. you can either relax it (compare less numbers) by changing the 6s to 4s or 2s.. or you can drop it entirely.. by adding "$ip_check_u = $ip_check_s;" Be forewarned that dropping it means that if anyone somehow manages to guess the sid of another user that is using it at the same time, they can walk into their account.. not really likely, but it could happen.. sids are huge-ass numbers and are nominally distributed.
