Hi Guys,

First of all, great job on Sentinel, we get a ton of attempts on our site everyday, it's really nice to feel secure. Very Happy

We applied that fix in preparation for our gallery install, so that was in place already when that block happened. I see there's another suggestion in that thread as well, but we get so many attempts everyday I'm hesitant to mod any Sentinel code that hasn't been tested. We'll hold off till 2.0 comes out. Very Happy

Which mod are you hesitant about?

I was referring to Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! to that same line of code you mentioned. We get so many attempts every day, I'm hesitant to mess with it too much. With all the signups we've had since installing Sentinel, this is the first one that got blocked, so it's not a huge issue. If you think that line change might do the trick, I'll give it a shot.
