hi,
is there any bug in webwiz forums v7.6 i suspended an account but still that user can login fine.

why ?????

A suspended user can login, they just have the same privileges as a Guest, and it tells them that some features are disabled because they are suspended.

For example, they can't post, they can't pm, they can't view the member list, etc.

And if they set it to login automatically, everytime they visit the site it will show they are logged in, even if they can't do anything other than read.

I dont want that even.
i want that a suspended user cannot even logon
how to do that ?

Do you know ASP?

You can code that in yourself if you do.

It's no big deal if they can login when suspended.  It's the same as not being logged in, as far as what they are allowed to do.

You could delete their account, but it's much better to just leave them suspended.

To refrain any inactive user from reading your forum posts just change starting at line 442 in common.asp

  'If the members account is not active then set there group to 2 (Guest Group)
  If blnActiveMember = False Then intGroupID = 2

  'Set the Guest boolean to false
  blnGuest = False
 End If

  'If the members account is not active then set there group to 2 (Guest Group)
  If blnActiveMember = False Then 
      Response.Redirect("suspended.h tm")
 End If

Well, if your suspended member is not logged in, how will the forums know he is suspended?  The forum won't.  He has to actually login for the forum to check to see if he's suspended. 

It will treat him like any other guest or non-logged in user while he is not logged in since it doesn't know it's him.  It only knows its him if he is logged on.

That's why it really doesn't matter if a suspended member can log in or not.  They can look just like any other guest, they just can't do anything a guest couldn't do.

If you hide forums from guests, a suspended member won't see it either.  If guests can't post, then your suspended member can't either.

So, in other words, if you implement the solution above, as soon as your suspended member clicked on "logout" they would be able to see everything a guest would see.  The forum would think he's a guest.

Now, you could ban his IP address is he is especially troubling.  But banning an IP address may ban more than just him, and may not stop him at all.  Especially if he uses AOL or DSL or dial-up or cable modem.

If he isn't posting nasty things and is just looking at your site once and awhile, quiet frankly, I wouldn't worry about it.  Maybe he is checking back to see if you un-suspended him yet.
