xName = getXName();
^^it says that in the script.

so if u would want me to read the stuff u would put
xName = creamysmile11;

i think OR.. .just try messing it up a big like put it in the parenthesese or like right before it when it says getXName

i think u need the peoples usernames there.

[starwberry_apple...]

u changed the

CODE

'username'

into the word

CODE

null

without the apostrophes to block unregistered users.

[sherryvu]

all you do is replace the word USERNAME with the username of the person you want blocked. if you want to block unregistered users, you do what starwberry_applez said. so it'll end up looking something like this

if (xName == null || xName == 'FIRST BLOCKED USER HERE' || xName == 'SECOND BLOCK USER HERE') {
alert("Sorry, you are either blocked from this site or not logged in.");
redirect();
