It appears that the system will not allow more than a certain number of sign ups from a single IP address. If I'm right, this is very inconvenient for two reasons:
1) Some ISP's don't issue separate public IP addresses to their customers. They operate behind what is essentially a gigantic router and they issue hundreds of private IP addresses to their customers. But the public IP address is the same for everybody who has signed up with that ISP. Many smaller ISP's do this, especially if they are WIFI based rather than DSL or cable.
2) If I, as an administrator, want to "make it easy" on a group of people and sign them up, and put them in the appropriate groups, so that when they first access the board they do so with a "good" feeling (and no delay), I am limited.
After all that, is there a setting somewhere, as Administrator I can turn off this restriction?
Thanks
