TheFix Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I am new here, my server is streaming and I noticed there is a lot of useful tools in the CP, my question is how do I add a user so my clan admin can help keep the bans and MD5's updated? he joined the PBBans forum but when I tried adding his username to the control panel it said invalid name? Does he need to be pre approved? Sorry in advance if this was the wrong place to post this. Fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) you need to add by forum ID number not name i think there is a search button as well Edited April 22, 2010 by HSMagnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Yep. You can find someone's member ID on their profile. Afterwards staff will need to approve him before he will be added to your account. Can't help but notice you mentioned 'updating bans'. There's no real need to be updating your pbbans.dat file regularly other than as a failsafe mechanism. If you check the 'Enforce bans' flag on your server, it will crosscheck any GUIDs that join your server with the PBB banlist, and initiate kickban where necessary. For more info on what each flag does, I suggest reading this if you haven't already :) Edited April 22, 2010 by Lucky_Fr4gg3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMagnet Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 you need to add by forum ID number not name i think there is a search button as well that last comment may have come off as smart alecky i should have said there is a search button next to the field to enter the forum ID, that you can use to search for forum IDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
