Code Needed To Log On

The last couple of times I've tried to post, I didn't seem to have a cookie. That's not a big deal, and I got sent to the Log On screen. However, I was surprised to see that the Log On screen has a "code" you have to enter, in addition to your name and password. I've only seen those used for registration on other sites. Why is a code needed to log on here?
Also, after I entered all of that, instead of taking me to the posting screen, I get a message saying "No Post ID Specified" (or something similar). I have to use the back button to get to the thread, then hit Quote again.
I'm using Mozilla 1.4.
Steve

That is a default setting of PHP. It is to prevent script hackers from hammering the site using the username Pony99CA with a dictionary attack for your password.
I'll check on the other problem you are having though...

Wow, that was a quick response. I guess that makes sense; it's just that none of the other phpBB sites that I visit require a code.

P.S. Weird, I just noticed that the HTML in my signature no longer worked. Was that part of the changes when you changed the site?

Steve,
If you get the cooky working the code should be no issue, as you'll never have to enter it again. Perhaps Brad can look into that issue as well.
And no, HTML in signatures does not seam to be working

Right, 1/2 of the site is PHP and the other 1/2 is PHPBB the PHP portion handles the logins.
Forum posts and signatures are all in BBCode now...and hey I noticed yours works now!

That's because I removed the HTML. However, even BBCode didn't seem to work. It's not a big deal, though, as the software made a hyperlink of the URL anyway.
