Seems to me from that limited amount of information you provided that you are using WEP with Open Authentication.

what this means is client can authenticate with the hotspot when they click on it, but without the encryption code they can't read any traffic.

Try change it to WPA, it should still work ok as WPA is supposidly compatible with older hardware.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it ALMOST seemed like MrSmith007 was trying to social engineer some info, perhaps to use his AP in the wrong way (to allow him to access unsuspecting folks' contacts and phone info.)

If intentions and description were truthful, apologies.  Just that sometimes you get that feeling in your gut, especially when something like that is a FIRST post...

It would be interesting to see all the users who are 1 posts and list their topics.  Bet there would be a nifty pattern.

I think you can, a little hard to do, but possible. Go into the members tab, sort on single posts, and away you go.

More work than I want to do right now. maybe if I ever go to grad school it would make for an interesting project and then worth the time. But undergrad first, maybe.

@3xban - cool.  Just wondered if my 1337 (yeah, as if) powers of observation were on pointe, or not.  I remember tweaking mine a few times, back in the day, and I still keep a couple spares for the same reason as you, but they're totally different, and wouldn't be recognizable, were you to happen across them, in the handful of sites I use them on.  But I totally understand your reasons.

HA!  I made it to the single posts, but then lost interest.  I popped through a few and some were valid but either they never got a response or they are fairly new.  There are a ton of zero accounts, then I saw the total number of members and realized this could take a while.  Around page 86 is when you see the single digits.

There are not that many suprisingly.
