Any help? >Regards >Tony How about finally being granted an account only to have it disabled after I log in the first time. Then it is enabled again, but blocked by the sentinel. As I just goto the site now, I can see the site, but once again I can not use my username and password. The admins there used PHP Nuke as their frontend. Any _experienced_ webmaster knows that it is by far the most hacked web portal system known to mankind. In fact when FireFox first came out the sentinel used to block people based on the referral header from the browser! Imagine that.. getting blocked from a site for the browser you use. There are sites dedicated to purely hacking that system. That is why I stopped using it, and went with e107, or xooms. There are plenty others that are much better. The sentinel system in the portal is flawed, as some have already pointed out. Add to it he fact Christopher likes to play God and Frank's unfortunate attitude change I fear only spells disaster in the future for Arena. I am already hosting files that the Arena site used to, and other's have emailed me about doing the same. When there are no longer contributors, possibly then they might get the idea that it was their abrasive attitudes that killed the developement and not the userbase. Then again I could be wrong, and hell could freeze over tomorrow. Peter
