How did you add a CITY field? Did you manually added it, like a mod? or did you use the PCP?

Well, as they say.. [insert some wiseman's quote here]

Out of curiosity once, I went to the author of cracker tracker's site and read through the entire thing. He offers a lot of mods and various other softwares. He actually produced a pretty cool ACP replacement mod that I took and tried, I deleted the site with it on unfortunately, I should have saved a screenshot. Anyways the point is, this version is like Pro 5 or something, you would think that it being revised many times, plus the addition of "pro" that it wouldn't act this way? I think he may just be a little over protective with his websites....

Or it could have been designed for a more developer-in-mind site that planned on manually doing all the edits and tweaking. Perhaps him making it so secure by default was the best path to take. This way right off the bat, you have the most secure option.

And to make one thing clear, I went and downloaded the mod myself, and installed it myself on a vanilla version of phpbb 2.0.22 and it acts the same way. It is no fault of integrateam that it acts this way. It is the original authors factory settings.

True it may be a little over zealous, but then again, it may prove to save your website one day.

I can't really disagree with anything you say and it probable (most likely) is for the best, but also keep in mind that having to fix over protectiveness can lead to weakness being created :D

It can just be a little pain in the [insert your favorite quote here] ( ;)

While using PCP, I got I believe 3 CT errors. Or maybe it was 2 LOL.
But in every instance, MEDIUM wouldn't work. Had to use LOW everytime.
