Re: Forum Errors
 

The problem seems to be that the when you enter a forum the name of the site isn't used, but the IP address instead. This prevents your browser from knowing to send the proper cookies, and you have to login again at the IP address. I hope this is going to be fixed. It's a bit stupid to have to have double logins for one site.

I just made a post about forum errors. Oops.

That will be changed in the future. I believe Richard is waiting until the other server gets no more hits before switching over the name as the change has not propagated to everyone yet.

Re: Forum Errors
 

It's necessary until everyone has the change propagate. Imagine the nightmare where you haven't moved yet, but you know the IP of the new forum. So you go and type in the IP to connect and then you get sent back to the old forum since we use the name.

It may appear stupid, but it's designed to work this way to make sure everyone can browse the forums even if their ISP's are slow at propagating DNS changes.

Last read pointers aren't working. Every time I have checked back today the messages I read were marked as still unread and I had to start where I had been at the beginning of the day.

Re: Forum Errors
 

My last read pointers seem to only work once.

Re: Forum Errors
 

I'm having the same problem. Earlier today the last read flags were working fine and now they're not.

Re: Forum Errors
 

It's probably because of the IP being used. Since we only have a few folks still hitting the old server I have decided to change the config.
