[Hell Raiser]

Well yes i will figure it out for tinyportal give me some time 

[Arantor]

What was wrong with the link in the ZIP?

It wasn't appropriate to have on this forum.

[clapter]

Oh. Ok. But in a firewall? hmm

[Hell Raiser]

Well yes that link was to my freinds forum which i used for testing i forgot to remove. But now its fixed 

[genusis]

the onyl problem with this is the Link back to the Makers website for free use Can not be used ON most Hosts since that site has illegal content .

Any contradictions with CSF and this ? Anyone who has done some hardcore testing? I might have this blocked if it is no good to work with CSF. (Individual firewall isn't really required, most servers have their own configured properly)
