Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Freeware Website Blocker?

    Strange request this but I don't know where to look. I have a website which will be run on a desktop in a space open to tampering by the general public for about a week. I'd like some some sort of software which will block access to any website but my own and perhaps one other.

    What sort of software would I need? It'd need to work in Firefox and IE, and have the ability to create a "whitelist" of OK sites and block everything else. Can anyone help?

    :confused:

    In IP settings of network card
    point DNS to a fake server address
    in \windows\system32\drivers\hosts put in the IP w.x.y.z and name of the site you want them to seem

    point gateway to a fake addess
    at command prompt add in line so they can get to the site like this
    route add -p w.x.y.z mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.1

    TBH if it's where the general public can get it then you could also put a router / adsl router between it and them - wan port to the pc and lan to the network and then open up the ports on the router so the pc can only connect to teh web site.

    and disable or prevent physical access to all usb / IR / cd / floppy drives
