I had this problem with 5.47d. Flood Control causes noone other than admins to post on the bbs. Is there a fix for this and is it a simple permissions problem?

Now with ubb6 its still a problem. I would really like to utilize flood control though.

The same solution that worked last time should work this time - the floodcheck file is probably still in BanLists. Ensure that the BanLists directory has at least 766 permissions and that the floodcheck file itself has at least 766 permissions...
