Hi, this was a quick fix I implemented to stop people cheating. This only happens if the user trys to stop half way through the quiz and start again.

In 1.2.x this will be obselete as the playing quiz part will all be re-written, and cheating will be impossible.

Hi Battye,

But i get the error even if i'm doing it the right way.. what could be the reason? many users got angry with me seeing the hacking error.. they had actually done it in the correct order..

TIA

Hi, each time I play a quiz I have put in I get the Hacking Attempt page when I click to look at the results. I've got UQM 1.2.0 loaded.

Any ideas?

Upgrade to 1.3.1, it has the changes so there is no clash with phpBB 2.0.21.
