8vMatt 1 Posted February 11, 2011 Hi Andi, Is there a set time limit you're logged in for if you're not actually doing anything on the forum. As in, I've had a thread open for a while on the same page, then navigated away or done a reply. When it refreshes, it has logged me out. And come on everyone, lets have more donations being made to help out with the costs of running the place we all enjoy so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy 0 Posted February 11, 2011 I can't see any of my sent messages, it says 3 have been sent, but I can't see any of them. In fact it says "contains 3 messages" and "empty" at the same time, or words to that effect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 12, 2011 Update I've been doing a lot of work in the SQL database that holds all the information (posts, user accounts, etc) for the forum this morning. I have managed to make some global changes: Any reference to the old site http://the-corrado.net/forum/ now correctly points to http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/ - so links, etc, will still work - but direct you to the old forum. No, I can't make it work out where that page is now on the new forum! ;) I have globally changed any HUGE FONTS as size=7 on the old forum was a 'normal' size, but on here, its relative, so they appeared MASSIVE... This should apply to posts and signatures. If your PM box is full, as well as the email, you now get a message at the top of the screen informing you (and reminding you to check your Sent Items too). Donators / Subscribers get a 50,000 message PM box, as opposed to the default 500.. :) I've probably done some other stuff too, but that's enough for now!

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 12, 2011 Hi Andi, Is there a set time limit you're logged in for if you're not actually doing anything on the forum. As in, I've had a thread open for a while on the same page, then navigated away or done a reply. When it refreshes, it has logged me out. No, there's no short time limit. I think it's set to something silly like 2-6 hours? This will happen if your browser kills the cookie for whatever reason, however, or some weird web filtering...

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 12, 2011 I can't see any of my sent messages, it says 3 have been sent, but I can't see any of them. In fact it says "contains 3 messages" and "empty" at the same time, or words to that effect. It will log how many messages you have sent, but only save the actual message in your "Sent Items" if you tick the "Save message in Sent Items" box, or set it in your Options.

This will happen if your browser kills the cookie for whatever reason, however, or some weird web filtering... Sure its not infinate. I can leave the forum logged on for a week at a time and dont get logged out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 12, 2011 Update Forum 'blocks' on the forum listing, showing Newly Created Threads and Latest Posts. You can hide them if you wish, however. (Note - to reduce server load, this only refreshes every 10 minutes).

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 12, 2011 Update Facebook integration! You can now link your account with your Facebook - or even sign up to the forum just with your Facebook ID. Allows you to "Like" blog posts and forum threads, and even publish to your Facebook. (Scarily cool.. lol) Tweaks to the SQL database setup to speed up the site and hopefully remove the 'hang' we occasionally get Modification to the vBulletin code to allow correct tracking of IPs - this should help those with login issues / timeouts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
