Re: Problems with PM and Forum

Hawthorne gave me an explanation as to why informe fails, but I can't remember it. But basically if you click a link to picture link that's not the very bottom link (back to previous section link) it's going to log you out. who knows when, or if, they will fix this issue.

I don't think you need to type in the captchas though, for posting that is.

The HTML links to each page now have an sid=(hex gibberish) field. Sid is obviously Session ID. This contains your login session so each click that HAS this sid in it will keep you logged in but clicking, say, Tat's signature links up above, they don't get the sid pushed forward so if you clicked one you'd be "logged out" in that window.

The picture link up top does not carry sids forward, neither does the Forum link up there. (Board Index at the bottom and View Your Posts and probably a few others do carry the sids forward. You can check yourself by hovering over the links.)

Naturally the sid doesn't have everything and it expires on the server end if you lollygag but, still, this seems to me like a staggeringly stupid way of handling message board logins, but, I don't know a lot about web design so I'll bite my tongue.

I tried to see if I could edit where the logo points to, but unfortunately each of these "sids= hex gibberish" is different for each user and don't think it will help change where the logo points to..

If you want to access the forum front page without being logged out, you might have to copy the sid code and paste it after http://afwrpg.informe.com/forum/ in your web address.

Still very little coming back from informe apart from the problem apparently arising from:

updating of our software from mysql 5.0 to 5.5 and php 5.2 to 5.3, as well as processing of large amounts of data

Yeah, noticed that, Infrome is going the Php route but why ? wait like a few months and change it to Ajax, just my opinion, but Ajax will probably over take a lot because it is easier to handle and stuff like that, I don't understand why they change to Php, ( Php has been know as primarily mac focused " title="Razz" /> sort of ) and it's weird, cause I don't find it that good to use Php codes, they feel tricky and has less what should one say, customization than AXP, but they didn't change to AXP and was running on stupider codes before, and one has to ask, is there like one guy who runs the entire Informe ?

Informe didn't write the board software.
