Hi Simon,

I have recently installed your mod and whilst testing options managed to block my home PC agent from accessing my site (Im new to this game sorry)! My question is after removing my agent details i still appear to be blocked from my home PC - How can i rsolve this any advice would be appreciated....

Try clearing your browser cache and also cache from admincp/Maintenance

It will be your browser cache, you can also try (on your pc) Start>Run>ipconfig /flush dns (the space is intentional)

I'll caution on the above - you really don't want to enter any parts of user agent strings that might be common stuff - you have the potential of not only blocking yourself, but literally tens of millions of computers and/or other devices.

It's one of the best Mods there is for vBulletin but, USE WITH CAUTION.

Thanks for that, this mod was only ever built to stop bots eating up your bandwidth which is why i recommend using actual bot names found in the useragents :)
