If so then I know about that bug and am trying to fix it
Yup thats the one; if you know about it thats great. Looking forward to a fix then:: In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey :: Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie monkey_pushover_tree

<geeky bit> The forum has to hold a lot of session data (which posts you have/haven't seen, the dates you were last here, subscribed threads, etc. etc.) and so the session info for the forums is held seperately to the session info for the site. The site has a "remember me" functionality but the forum code doesn't so the first time you visit it the site knows who you are but the forum doesn't, refresh and it sets you up propery and can see the page again. I need to get it to renew forun sessions on the fly or somehow put remember me functionality in the forum code. </geeky bit> Is it the weekend yet?? - Twitter Status

Stupid question, but what is the code doing different at the refresh compared to the initial login/establishing a connection has occured?:: In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey :: Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie monkey_pushover_tree

Re:Forum code updated (again) - 13:57 01 Aug 05Actually as far as i can tell it re-activates your forum session the first time you hit the page, it just stops there and doesn't then show you a page, when you reload you then have a session setup and it happily shows you the page.

Re:Forum code updated (again) - 14:01 01 Aug 05Hmm... odd... As the Last Forum Posts only show the last ten posts; and you can view the posts without login'ing in, you shouldn't need a session ID to view them. Again, stupid question #2, the code for not being logged in and viewing the last forum posts and the code for being loged in and viewing them are the same yes?:: In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey :: Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie monkey_pushover_tree

Correct however when you try and pull up a forum page it does see that your logged into the site (remember me) and so looks for (and creates) the forum session.

I see a completely different screen to you as I have all the moderator tools threaded through all the forum pages. Is it the weekend yet?? - Twitter Status

Argh yes, of course doh! I has to do this so it can work out to give you access to the edit functions etc Sorry didn't think that one through properly...without this you are not going to be able to do this and it would ask you to log in to do anything... <mumbles to himself and doesn't belive how stupid the question was>

Figured as much; I'm more than happy to take a look at some of the code and give you a hand if you'd like. Its PHP based yes?:: In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey :: Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie monkey_pushover_tree

Its PHP based yes?I may well take you up on that although I am having great fun learning PHP It a mix of PHP for server side, Javascript for the client side, MySQL for the data & CSS for the layout.... can I get any other keywords in there?? I suppose there is some HTML, XML and soon to be some Ajax too... watch this space
Actually, are you any good with Javascript?? I could really do with some Ajax help. The code pretty much works but it is VERY VERY messy and not being very good at JavaScript I'm thinking that when I clean it up it's gonna break!
