Otsikko: How Can a Guest View a Profile?
Kirjoitti: mycousinvinny - heinäkuu 13, 2011, 05:16:10 IP
Hii, I am using SMF 1.1.14 and the Default theme.  When I clicked on Users Online I saw this:

Guest (109.230.213.184) 09:58:01 PM Viewing mlisettecarrl's profile.

The IP of the guest shows no registered User with that IP.

My Guests have 0 Permissions.

How is this possible??

Thanks,

Vinny

Yeah, I recognize that IP. Spam/hackerbot that just punches up php code to get that result, using a u=somenumber, and it's often a 1.

Illori is right, get into a habit of changing browsers if you have to, or logging out... Then see just what a guest can do.

It will make you rest better at night. The same thing is true with each permission level/membergroup.

Make a dummy account, change it's permission levels to test what a membergroup can see or do.
