I actually made my post because it did happen lol. We implemented it not even thinking about the issue and then about 5 minutes later we had many complaints from our users that they could no longer access the ladders (we're an online competition website i.e. ladders, and tournaments for online games). It was telling them they were banned and with their ban reason just like the forum bans would be I presume.

So we naturally had to revert back to our old pre-made solution which is just a custom script which just uses cookies and sends the login info to the login.php page when logging in. Though as some of our users have been having problems (particularly Mac Safari users) staying logged in we were looking for a more foolproof system which included sessions (as we presumed that was at least part of the issue).

Any help that could be given on the being banned situation would be greatly appreciated.
