okey, i don't know but it won't let me do it. could it be something with sessions or maybe there is a cookie still in my computer, and the forums is recognizing it. thank for testing.


i just tried using any name for the login and any name for the pw, and it logged me in as poil, so yah thats the problem. i transfered everything from the old folder to the new folder, and maybe i transfered the sessions folder. thank ya again.

Nothing in the sessions or cookies would cause the problem. The variables in the session/cookie are w3t_myname and w3t_mypass while the adduser works off of a variable called $Username.

The only place the user exists error message is used in adduser is if it gets a match from the SQL server to see if the user is already in there, or if the user is in the badnames file in the filters directory.
