if you where going to use this method its better to store the Author_ID, so it doesn't mess with dynamic IPs ...

i wouldn't because of the table size as gullanian said.

Bruce did consider this method I believe but rejected the idea becauseit would need to potentially store a lot more data in a datbase whichwould slow down the smaller forums a lot.

The new table would have two columns, poll ID and IP.

you would need to create a new table that stores the IP addresses.

everytime  a vote is done you check for the IP, if it doesn'texist add the vote and update the new table with the IP Address.

if it does you alert the user. or you can check before voting to see if the IP is there but that will use up more proccessing .

I was wondering if there's a way to set the poll to allow 1 vote based on a person's IP address. As with the current way if you wanted to cheat even though the poll is set to only allow 1 vote. All you have to do is delete the cookies and bam! you can vote again. If the All powerful programmers would reply that'd be great :) I love all your scripts.
