Question on setting 'banned' IP addresses
Using Jamroom
Strumelia:I'm assuming you mean putting "1" in there all by itself...not to do that. Gotcha. lol
Do you know the answer to this? :
am I to understand that the Banned IP list only stops them from joining or logging in? and does not stop them from merely browsing the site online, right? THUS- I can still expect to see them in the Who's Online list even after being on the Banned list, right?
Thanks!
That is correct - if you want to completely "ban" then from your site, you have to exclude them by adding:
at the top of your .htaccess file.
We could actually update the banned item to block ALL requests, but it would be a bit of overhead on EVERY request, which the web server is better at handling.
