Automatic IP Banning

Yes this was posted on the 1.4 section but i'm running 1.5
Hi all,

I'm setting up a photo competition and we're using Coppermine for the entry method.
Problem is most students are logging in and registering at school which means that they are signing up/logging in with the same IP. It seems that Coppermine is banning (not letting users log in) and not letting people register because it thinks the school's IP is spamming the script.
Is there a way to disable this IP banning?

Need to know ASAP because organisers are having a sad at me.

Cheers,
Firman

User settings → Duration of a temporary ban after failed logins:

Range is between 0 (which would mean that there will be no temporary ban at all, so use this value to disable the temporary ban feature alltogether)

Cheers for the fast response.
Tried that already, doesn't seem to be the problem.

Afaik Coppermine only bans IPs when they enter wrong passwords too often.

You need to clear any existing bans from before you changed the setting.
