Introducing ipgate 2.4.3 beta with new ip function and the long awaited paginated logs page! After almost loosing several weeks worth of work when my old host decided to run away, I decided to go ahead and add the paginated log I was working on before I really lost the code.. I was able to get the paginated code slated for the next release of ipgate into this version. I have then since put the next major release on hold but I'm releasing this interim release.
Improvments in ipgate 2.4.3
-A large number of bans should no longer slow the forum down. -Paginated logs page, be sure to set # of records per pages in settings. -improved ip/subnet banning and error checking a whole ip ban should no longer ban its subnet
-minor tweaks to admin page to reflect updated changes. -cookie autobanning can now be set in the user changeable area of inc_ipgate.asp

Features/improvements of ipgate 2.3.0
Ban by username, ipaddress, and ipaddress subnet

-You can ban by either means above. If you decide to use a browser cookie, a cookie will be placed on the users computer which flags them by their status. If that user switches names or ip address, the cookie flags them and bans them. If their ip address or username is different, a new ban record is inserted to auto ban the new username and ip address. At this time, no on off switch available for the new auto ban feature.

-You can add a list of banned pages that all users whos status is set to blocked access, can not access.
-Cookies will expire based on the end date you specify when you ban someone. Once a cookie is on their machine they are flagged until the cookie expires. A cookie expire option has been added to help alieviate accidental range bans. Remember to expire a cookie for a week before deleting a ban.
-You can log all ips or only those specified to watch in the database.
-Admin ban prevention improved

-Works with Access, MS SQL, and My SQL

-a few bugs were fixed in the admin page

-inc_ipgate.asp code cleaned up

-a looping bug was fixed pertaining to ipgate user message.
to upgrade from ver 2.2.8 just copy inc_ipgate.asp and admin_ipgate.asp to your forum or test forum directory. <
