I should improve the message I display upon a failed login to show their IP, what their IP resolves to and what ip2country shows for their ISP's country. Should scare the moronic idiots as none of them knows what they are doing.

I'm not one hundred percent on the location but the redirect after a successful posting is a <meta refresh tag which is in one of the templates I think.

As for the second matter this sounds more like a problem with either your browser caching the page or your ISP running an invisible cache. You could add the pragma nocache meta tag to the index to fix this. If nobody else gives more specifics I will post them when I get home.

OK as most of you may be aware there is a major exploit in version 2.2 of the advanced guestbook. Because of this a lot of them have been defaced by people calling themselves sblack scorpion, red scorpion etc and claiming to be anti USA and the usual rubbish. Now I have been keeping a log of failed guestbook logins www.carbonize.co.uk/guestbooklogins.php and nearly every IP resolves to an American ISP apart from one which is polish. Just how stupid are these people?

Try the default username and password. If not a quick search of this forum will give you an entire thread dedicted to this problem.

Well without editting any of the files you could put in a simple comment and then edit it in the SQL table but this could be a pain. If I remember I will look at the comment script when I get home and see what needs changing/removing.

There is a section in the config file for setting the BASE_DIR go put the address in there and see if that works.

I don't use the poll myself but I'd say it uses cookies to prevent people cheating. Have you put any html before the poll because what this means is that you have already sent some information to the browser when it tries to send the cookies.

I entered the same information when I was at home as when I was at work. I'm wondering if the works proxy didn't have something to do with it but then surely the flood filter should of kicked in. Oh well will give you something to do.

My advice is delete everything apart from the config file then reupload the guestbook.

Look in the files in the Lang directory.

Can you give us a link to your guestbook please.

Somebody email me the install.php file from 2.2 so I can compare it to 2.3.1 and possibly write an upgrade script for the database.

I personally use firefox which has a great find as you type feature for finding links. Anyways in IE use the TAB button to go through the links on a page one at a time and press enter when it's on the right link.

The guestbook doesn't allow javascript to be posted regardless of if you are allowing HTML or not. They add the javascript by accessing your admin panel and editting an existing entry.

OK in admin.php look for in that section look for Replace all that with

BTW looking through the code I notice a lot of module related stuff. I guess AG was designed to be easily integrated into CMS's.
