DTHUREGRIF ,
I registered under the name Cozmic.......
tried to access the site with Netscape 6 and netscape 4.79, and yes ,the 2nd set of scans were after trying once again to enter and see what was available. I also know about the cookies , as I am "informed" when a cookie is placed on my machine , and who it comes from.
and you`re right , cookies do not probe ports..... so yes there is a problem there.

I also understand about the piggybacking,so I will dig into my logs and e-mail them to you. I run 2 firewalls and they both went crazy this morning after registering and trying to access Renderotica.Mail will be later this evening as my internet connection is very limited ATM.

as for my "account" , you may delete anything regarding "Cozmic" you have in your database as Ive wasted 1/2 a day and havent even been able to see if there is actually something I am even interested in .....

I might also suggest for future reference ,that you do not make people sign up immediately , give them the opportunity to at least view the items you have available....... then IF they would like to buy something , they should be made to sign up for your forum. I buy a lot from the "smaller people" who create models/textures,etc. , trying to support peoples hard work and dedication in graphics.But Im afraid in this case , I`ll go elsewhere.......

I do hope you get your problems worked out.
