Try my beta reset script from http://carbonize.co.uk/Lazarus/Forum/index.php?topic=8.0

Thanks now it works but why does all the posts in my guestbook have the same ip number.

I'm guessing your host is sat behind a proxy and so every request comes from the proxy and the guestbook logs the proxy's IP.

Try this add.class.php file. Just replace the existing version in the lib folder.

the problems is still there.

The file will not fix old entries but will rectify the issue with new entries.

Its the same even why i post a new test messages.

And you replaced the add.class.php file you have in the lib folder with my new one?

BTW I made a test entry so please delete it.

Yes i have done as you said with the add.class file.

OK try putting this file somewhere on your site and then message me with what it outputs when you visit it in a web browser.
