Excellent mod Twisty, very handy to be able to click a link and have a list of who/what/where and IP's that have been banned.

Just some feedback on this hack. Using 6.4.1

Implementation was easy enough but it isn't working for me. No internal errors are displayed, but when "showbanned.php" tries to open, it stalls. If I wait long enough, I get a "Bad Response From Server" error.

Any ideas?

Do you have a big, big database with many banned?

Did you check to see if the file is CHMOD'd to at least 644?

If it isn't that, then I'm really not sure. Nobody else has reported a problem using it.

Hmm, I don't think having a large database alone would cause any issues either. The queries would just take longer.

>The queries would just take longer.

Could take so long that the script reaches the maximum execution time?

It takes very long on our site.

Alright, try adding this to the beginning of the showbanned.php script and report back your results...



If it still doesn't work, then your host may be overriding these settings with httpd.conf, or it's another issue entirely :-/

It's almost instant for me but my database isn't massive.

When you say it takes long, approx how many seconds? Surely not more than 10?

>When you say it takes long, approx how many seconds? Surely not more than 10?

1-2 Minutes.

Umm, wow. How many posts in your database? How many users?

Like I mentioned, it's pretty much instantaneous for me.
