If you install it on localhost and login to it from localhost, then your IP for session IP validation is 127.0.0.1 regardless of whether or not your ISP gives you a static IP address, correct?

I was able to install a test board, create forums, login and logout just fine. I use Firefox. If you can't figure out how or which settings you need to change then you should probably wait until there's manual to help you or until support can be provided...whichever comes first.

Why would anyone be converting colors to hex? As if learning colors in decimal is easier? All you need to know is all websafe colors are combinations of the hexadecimal values 00, 33, 66, 99, cc, and ff. So no need to monkey around with the decimal values, converting to hex only to find it's not ...

I've still debating whether or not I'll enable post reporting. I've seen it abused by users before. Long story short, on a site parallel to mine a user or users took it upon themselves to report every post made by another group of users if it even looked like they were breaking a rule until ...
