Is there a way to block IP addresses from accessing my forum, even seeing it?  I know other sites have this capability.

thanks,
tess

no there is not.

Along these same lines, if a user is banned and removed, will a multinick still show up when he tries to re register under another name ?

just ban don't remove and a multinick will still show up

Thank you, I think you can see from another topic here why I need to take action.

Thanks again.
