I had the same problem  - don't forget that you also need to go into Admin/Permissions and then Registrations and set "Allow banned email addresses" to "No".

Thanks for this feature Rickard et al. spammers from web.de were ruining my day!

Jeez you're right! What a noobie mistake (sigh...).

Unfortunately it stil doesn't work - any more ideas anyone?

Thx.

I/m trying to do somehing similar, but much more limited: I want to limit downloads from a particular directory to logged-iin users. (The users log-in using PHP/MySQL and if authenitcated they have access to PunBB and the sites other features).

My naive thinking was that I would be able to protect the directory with  a .htaccess file, and then use PHP to send an authentication header to allow lgged-in users to download particular files (so that the users wouldn't have to see the challenge from the htaccess). Htaccess file is working properly, but I cna't seem to get the authentication header working - any ideas, or is this just the wrong way of going about it!  Thanks!

<?php
session_start();
if (!session_is_registered('first_name'))
{header("Location: ../members_area/member_login.php");
exit;}

//get the filename from the referring page
$file=$_GET['file'];

//get the browser settings from the header
$accept=$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'];
$accept_charset=$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET'];
$accept_encoding=$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'];
$accept_language=$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
$connection=$_SERVER['HTTP_CONNECTION'];
$host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$browser=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

//get ready to generate the authorisation code
$all="testuser:password";

//encode the username and password
$encoded=base64_encode($all);

//send the header
header('GET /downloads/$file HTTP/1.0');
header('Connection: $connection');
header('User-Agent: $browser');
header('Accept: $accept');
header('Accept-Encoding: $accept_encoding');
header('Accept-Language: $accept_language');
header('Accept-Charset: $accept_charset');
header('Authorization: Basic $encoded');
?>

So where all the good pubs in Sweden?

Do they have pseudo-English pubs (fake wooden beams and horse-brasses) or (shudder) fake Irish pubs - which seem to be all the rage in Canada?

Looks great in Safari!

How did you do it (the stationary image with scrolling boxes I mean!).

Thx

OK, time for the Mac heads to chip in...

What Mac editor do you use?

I use Pagespinner (it's commercial), but would love to hear of anything better...

Are there any Mac users out there who use FIrefox?

How do you like it versus Safari?

(I'd try it but I'm out in the sticks and only have s-l-o-w access!).

Thx.

A question for the real programmers out there (i.e. not me) - is there a technical reason that PunBB uses cookies rather than sessions? - or was it written before sessions were available in php??

thx.
