I undersatnd that but im not seeing it in my error logs at all, i've checked the syntax of the latest code i've given here http://www.piliapp.com/php-syntax-check/ and it all checks out - im at a loss until i can get my hands on my friends vb4.02 and try it there.

I have installed this add-on into my VB 4.2, but I can't figure out how to add the IP list. I'm new to using plug-ins, so maybe I'm missing something obvious (probably!). How do I get to the right screen to do this?

Thanks!
