What does the "lock" icon opposite members names do? How does it work? I seem to get zero function from it. I would like to be able to "lock out" some troublesome members from time to time. Give them a 'timeout' instead of deleting them.
The opened lock icon means that the member is locked. Locking a member will immediately remove the possibility of that member remaining logged in and posting is impossible. Do you have a link to your forum and a test login?
While I try to get my new web master to update the forum software (he is a bit worried about doing it smoothly and successfuly) I tthought I'd pass on some data on the lack of blocking for this troublesome member:
In all our tests the lock icon works fine everywhere but the troublesome character. I find out that he cannot self edit and that appears to be due to the fact that he disallows cookies on this computer.
This all seems tied together. Lack of cookies, unable to block.
Not sure what happens with that version you are using, since it was released even before I became a Snitz member, but that is surely not the way the current version works.
