Topic: WTF!!! Is going on?! :D

Hi guys.. I've got 1.2.12 installed on my site and I asked a mate to register.

He got this message:

A new user was registered with the same IP address as you within the last hour. To prevent registration flooding, at least an hour has to pass between registrations from the same IP. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I thought.. okay ISP problem? So I tryed to register for him and let him change PW after.. But to my dismay I got the same message! Can anybody shed some light on the problem>?


Thanks big_smile

The message isn't lying, there's an account registered by whatever the IP is in the past hour.
I'd check and make sure your server isn't doing some odd proxying that gives everyone the same IP. If not (and your friend is perhaps using the same computer you used to register an account), that's intended wink

Well - He lives about 5 miles away from me so we're not using the same computer to register an account..

Aha
I bet you have the same IP because you're using the same cache server tongue

That's a mod to allow a custom timeout, use that wink
