Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes, all
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes, most of the manual
Joomla! version: 2.5.6
PHP version: 5.3
MySQL version: 5.1
Host: Korax
Admin Tools version: 2.3.1

Description of my issue:We recently upgraded to 2.3 and then 2.3.1 of Admin tools. We are now receiving the following errors when we access our site which seem to be related to the bad behaviour function.
Notice: Undefined index: reverse_proxy in /u/w/wyc001/www.wyc.ca/plugins/system/admintools/admintools/badbehaviour/core.inc.php on line 97
Notice: Undefined index: eu_cookie in /u/w/wyc001/www.wyc.ca/plugins/system/admintools/admintools/badbehaviour/screener.inc.php on line 8

For users using Chrome the errors are received, displayed briefly and the pages are rendered ok. For firefox and IE the pages are not formatted correctly. Turning off the bad behivour option fixes the issue.

Thanks

These are known issues with the third party Bad Behavior library. Please note that I am not the author of that library (see the files for information) and I cannot fix these notices.

That said, you should never leave verbose error reporting to the browser on a production site! You are essentially handing over hackers very valuable information about the inner workings of your site. Please go to your site's Global Configuration, Server tab and set Error Reporting to None. You should modify this option to a lesser setting (including "Server default") only if you are debugging something on your site. Production sites should always have that set to "None".
