thanx for the email update!

I installed the update; don't know if it's working just yet, but I'm sure it's fine. :) Thank you very much.

I would say you are making an error in step 1 by removing an extra curly bracket at the bottom of the function.

does the hack runs a query to alter the post table ?
is it going to alter all the posts in database with a new field

please confirm, this is what I understood reading/checking the .xml file

Regards,

I baby stepped it, triple checked my edits.....And I can gladly say, all is well...thanks for the help. *finally clicks install* :cool:

Yes.

It would be nice to get something that can read MAC addresses of the users.

doing the code changes to the class_core.php file .. ( step 3 )


MY existing code

define('SESSION_IDHASH', md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . vB_Session::fetch_substr_ip($registry->ipaddress))); // this should *never* change during a session


The new code from the read me

define('SESSION_IDHASH', md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . vB_Session::fetch_substr_ip($registry->ipaddress))); // this should *never* change during a session


these look unchanged ?? Wondering .. Total

Try downloading the zip again? I just compared the new readme to the old readme, the code is different.

Weird - is your step 3 different ??

Step 3.

In class_core.php ;

Find ;

// define session constants
define('SESSION_IDHASH', md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . vB_Session::fetch_substr_ip($registry->alt_ip))); // this should *never* change during a session


Replace with ;

// Paul M - define session constants
define('SESSION_IDHASH', md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . vB_Session::fetch_substr_ip($registry->ipaddress))); // this should *never* change during a session
