Security Measure for IP Changes

As inconvenient as this may sound from now on an IP change will destroy your session and log you out. Accounts being sold were sharing cookies so that the session wouldn't need a login. I already know this would be an issue and I already knew this was how some of the recent sold accounts were utilized. Those on dynamic IPs will need to login again every single time their IP changes. It will just have to be that way. This will greatly assist with stolen or sold accounts used to scam. Forcing a login will give better results to the Trust Scan and the admin logs where I can spot these accounts much easier. Sorry but this is just necessary if we're going to continue having a thriving Marketplace. More measures will be into place asap. This is hardly the only thing I plan to implement. This site will have ultra high end security for accounts. NOTE: If you'd like to test try to use a VPN, sock or proxy to access HF, that is if you can find one that works.

Same, startled me for a second there.
This will definitely cut down on the compromising of accounts.
