Chantal Can I somehow install it on my board?

2. My smilies stopped working about 48 hours ago. Nothing happens when I click. They work here on the support forum, though.

3. Can I censor PHRASES? It cuts off the phrases in to separate words. Someone using an anomymizer keeps posting another person's private home address and since I can't ban him, I would like to censor the whole adress, ex :"100 Main Street"
I don't want to censor "100" "Main" and "Street" separately.

This being said, I really love my exco forum - just trying to contribute some ideas to make it better.

TK-7771 2. Make sure there are no single quotes ( ' ) in your smiles. It messes with the coding.

3. Not sure. It may be possible. I know some filters let you censor things like "WTF?".

Whats the third (or first depending on how ya look at it) glitch?

Chantal Some brackets caused problems.

RewriteCond %(HTTP_USER_AGENT) Anonym (NC)

I'm replacing the first set of squiggly brackets, and teh second set of square brackets.

Can this sript be installed on my board to stop anonymizers? Blocking IPs doesn't seem to work.

I'll check the smilies.

Chantal You were right about the single quotation marks. I removed one of a single smilie and now they all work again! Hurray!

TK-7771 Is this person, actually a member or a guest? if he/she is a guest, just shut off guest posting.

As for the script, not sure if it will work. maybe one of the script gurus can answer that one.

That looks like a line from a .htaccess file, but server 2 is now running on Windows as far as I know, so it wouldn't use it. Where did you get it?

Chantal I got it from WebmasterWorld as a means to shut out SOME anonymizer. It's Apache Mode Rewrite, I'm told, I have NOOOO idea what that is.

I would prefer to shut off Guest posting as a last resort.

Chantal Do we have access to raw logs for our boards? probably not, but just in case...
