Advice to future forum admins

How stupid can i be?

Pretty stupid. I was just testing out the banning feature on my forum, http://forum.derbydigital.com , and i signed up as a normal user and logged back in as the admin. I banned the new name and signed back in as the banned account. I guess it worked... cuz it says i am banned and cant view the forum. And when I hit "logout", the cookie is frozen so I cant log back in as admin. I am at school, and have no way of deleting the cookies. Heh, I guess I learned a lesson on this one... gonna log onto the SQL and delete the ban.

Should have invited someone you really dislike to log on, then you could have banned them! Kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak!

This thread is nothing more then a shameless plug for your forum. Admit it.

I have been dreaming of a web page with a red squared logo for countless nights now.
