Can we sort out this log on thing? Plesae.
Hi Tony,
Research indicates that this is mostly caused by ISP's that change the IP addresses of their customers, even while they are surfing. Hence you can get signed off while writing a message. The security is based on you IP address matching your cookie and is the best way of preventing identity theft.
The only way around this, as far as I can see is by reducing the security level and that will still not work in some case. Unfortunately most of the discussions are highly technical and leave me wondering!
Basically, as I understand it, your IP address is stored in your cookie and session data, when you post a message or move between messages, and your IP address is changed by your ISP, it says... is this Tony's IP address... NO... Impostor sign him out! :?
:?: Anne - you use PHBB have you had this problem, or do you understand the issues discussed in the PHBB support forums?
