Hello All,

In our particular forum, we have it locked down. Account Approval is enabled, and Anonymous Coward cannot see anything until their account is approved.

Well today, a person tried to join our forums, I declined the account and he let me know that the web statistics program he was using which included a link to a particular forum post. He clicked on that link and it logged him in as one of my users and allowed him to see the whole thread.

This sound like a pretty severe security hole, any thoughts on how to block it?

EDIT:

Actually I think this may have to do with my Cookie and Session settings, another admin must have edited something for testing. I will let you know if this is an actual bug, or an 1D10T error soon. Thanks.
