Re: Important info about vBulletin
 

just tried the url below and it worked for me too LDO and i hope it works down the track when we move.

Admins, I think youll lose traffic if we dont offer forumserver or some other reasonably easy way to beat websense....surely not losing traffic is > any problems caused by double statistics?

In true 2+2 fashion, no one actually answered my question in this thread before it was locked: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...=0#Post12562613

So is the new software going to suck as bad WRT to logging on and at random times finding out you've been logged off?

Re: Important info about vBulletin
 

That's actually a good thing to bring up, Troll. While I can't speak to what's causing your UBB trouble without a bit more info, vB handles staying signed in differently.

In vB there is a session timeout that controls a number of things throughout the software, including the who's online page and which users are displayed as viewing a forum. What this means is that it's not realistic to disable the timeout or make it all that long. Using 'remember me' makes it so you won't even notice this, and I especially recommend it if you take a while to type up posts. If the timeout is an issue for you but you don't always want to be auto signed in, just manually logout when you're done.

I've noted fewer oddities with not logging out and then signing in with a different machine. Remember me also won't expire after about 2 weeks like it does now.


Mike,

Re: Important info about vBulletin
 

It never seems to do it when I'm on the same machine or take too long typing up a post*.

I always select "remember me", whenever I log in.

It always seemed random but now that you mention it, it does seem to correlate to when I signed on with my pda. I never post anywhere but on my home computer, so I'll just not sign on anywhere else and hopefully that fixes it. Thanks.


*The only problem I have when taking a while to type up a post is that it gives me a "doesn't recognize page" and I lose what I type. So usually I "select all" and then "copy". So if it loses what I typed, I can just "cut and paste". But in this situation, I never get booted out and have to log on.

Re: Important info about vBulletin
 

In all seriousness, while this UBB.threads is outdated I'm sure I'll miss it when we change.

I still miss telnet for reading email.

ryan is it just the login page changing to the main www or the whole VB software , links etc

It would be the latter. This is being reconsidered because of the issue noted here, however.

Will the forum addresses still be in the 'forumserver.twoplustwo.com' format?



We've decided not to use a subdomain for the new forums. There are several reasons for that, but the biggest is that doing it the way it is now screws with the site's statistics. In certain spots we get counted as two sites.

For those that are blocked at work -

Websense can't keep up with all the new sites that show up on www.proxy.org

And if you guys don't mind spending a few bucks you could always buy your own .info domain name for $2.99, get some $2/month hosting, and get either cgi proxy or php proxy (both free) and use your website for self use and websense would never discover it.
