That's because I used a copy of my cms file, which had a few extra usergroups allowed - one of which must have the same id number as your banned group. Now only groups 5, 6, 7 & 2 are allowed (with 5 & 6 defined as admin).

I got to thinking on this Paul and the banned user Chip has my IP address, that may create a problem as well?

That user can no longer log into the chat (tested here). There is no ip check in the usergroup checking code (of this hack).

Thank you, works great!!!

I am getting to be a fan of your hacks, I think this is the third one of yours I have used as they are nice and simple to install with no fuss.

Thanks,

Thank you for your comments. :)

I have a problem with my flash chat since the upgrade to 3.0.7 .. seems everything loads fine but all I get is a blue screen.. I hoped that this would fix it since it says it works on 3.0.7. I tried posting on tufat's forums and they said they have heard of this but don't have time to fix it right now :( .. they are suposidly working on a new release of Flash Chat.

Has anyone see this or know somthing I can try. I have tried the cookie hacks and the domain hacks but they didn;t work either :( I love this chat and my members want it back..
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

This appears to be your problem ;

[Thu Mar 24 10:58:17 2005] [error] PHP Warning: fopen(./appdata/appTime.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied

The /appdata/appTime.txt file needs to be set to universal read/write access (777 in unix) otherwise flashchat will hang on loading (as yours is).

Thanks got it working :)

Well, I have installed FlashChat 4.01 onto my test server.

From your instructions:

Step 1. Can not be done in its current state as
has changed toI am not sure what would need to replace this line.

Step 2 & 3. You need to edit sendLoginInfo.php instead of connection.php

Step 4 & 5. You need to edit vbulletinCMS.php (vB 3.0.3) or vbulletinCMS2.php (vB 3.0.7)

So it is just the Proxy detection that needs fixing as far as I know.

Hope this helps you a bit in changing the instructions for v 4.01
