Ha ha, that is the original instruction dude....

Line 207 is 3 from the arse end of config.php...:D

Yeah, I saw that. My IP was in there, though. Beats me.

Christ on a bicycle. Mate, when it comes to vBulletin, I am at the arse end of the food chain.

I don't even know how to install DBTech mods so I started a thread and got an answer as stupid as the question.

That's right, I suck.

Me too owd lad, and a few others...

We suck! Although suck is not a term I would use in these matters...That term is generally applicable with my girlfriend....

Anyway, do test and let us know if this is a good un....

Test what, good sir? I already said I got it to work.

Yeah but have you tried from another IP?

Oh, right. Sorry homes.

No, I haven't. You? I don't have the VB awesomeness to branch out any further, I don't think. Was yours one of the many forums to get hacked? Is that why you're in here? I got done twice and had to pay for a clean up.

Not hacked yet, here to try and prevent that...

I did go out with my android device and attempted to log in form a different IP. It was stopped in it's tracks and I was also given an email of the details..Good!

I haven't tried to access from another IP that has been input as safe...and allowed access to adminCP.

This is what I will do next...

I expect the steps are as follows.

Go to the bar, get a pint of Guinness, find a table...
Log in to try and access adminCP. Get failure details passed on to my email..

Alternatively, finish the Guinness, get another one and then find my current IP. Go to FTP, add the new IP to the config.php (at the top) and then attempt another log in..

My plan..+ a few more Guinness incentives...:up:

haha! Nice! I've gotten a tad thirsty suddenly.

How'd you go, monsieur?

Not so good sire, big typhoon outside and not really worth going out there. Typhoon Usagi just made landfall in the north east and is blowing a little too much for outdoor activities..
