| When we send a PM, on some browsers (like brand new install of Firefox or in Internet Explorer at work), after responding to the bbAntiSpam question we get a message stating "no recipient defined" and the message is lost.
Thoughts? This is the only place we have this issue. [Edit: I should have placed this in the ATC section - sorry] _________________ - Rent!  |

| I'm afraid that the problem is not in browsers, but in the forum's engine (or more likely, in its third-party addon). And then I can not help.
A quick look at google suggests you are not alone, even without bbAntiSpam. Please look, for example, here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1219125 _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

| The strange thing is that it's only when the user is presented with the ATC page that they have this problem. If they are not presented with it when posting a private message they go through just fine. _________________ - Rent! |

| Maybe I need to ask another way - what determines if a user will receive the ATC page when posting? The reason I ask is that on each system that has this problem I have to respond to ATC after every single post, regardless of whether it's a PM, a reply, or a new topic. _________________ - Rent! |

| ATC activates only if the page request method is POST and the cookie "bbas_pass_code" is wrong. The pass code is a hash of the server name, server admin, user's browser identification string and the first three octets of the user IPs: REMOTE_ADDR','HTTP_VIA','HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.
If you want to learn more, I can send the source code. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

| It has to be something related to my use of cookies then. At work I understand this, but I'm curious why Firefox at home is having trouble with the cookies. On the same computer in IE it works fine but not in Fx. _________________ - Rent! |
