That's the flood protection. I'll see if I can turn that off.

I'm seeing an inconsistancy in the load times. Don't know if this is because of the testing or not. Ranges from quick (2-3 seconds to post) to very slow (30 seconds or more)

I know others have commented on the threads not being marked as read. I tried to mark everything in a thread as being read, and that doesn't work either.

The board has dropped more than 4000 posts already, so I'd say there's been some heavy abuse of power

I'm going to try doing an SQL dump at some point to see how it responds.

Tried it, I've logged out clear both cookies and browser and then logged into here and there, logged out of both and when i log in, this forum works fine, the new one hasn't a clue who I am. I do find it amusing though to see that when I do go there and am waiting to log in it still shows my Username as logged in and browsing(I'm guessing it's refusing to clear us as logging out or something, until we manually force it to accept us as logging back in.).

Rob, try logging in with your username and password, then logging out by clicking on the "login/logout" button at the upper right corner of the screen. This should clear you out of the "logged in" list.

Then, go back and log in with your username/password and check the auto-login box. See if that does the trick.

Already tried it a few times, BTW I was on the board for about 2 minutes just now, doing some clearing up that seemed neccesary, but the posts reporting me as there predate that. I'll try again though.

It's still showing the Rob Wilson username as browsing when I turn up as a guest, no matter what i do. I'll turn off the computer after doing another purge of the Caches and see if that works. And It still doesn't show items as read in Millenium falcon.

No that didn't help.

Is anyone else having problems with automatic log-in, because if it's just me I'll keep beavering away at my end until I find something that works tomorrow. I'm hitting the sack for now, so if you still see me logged n over there you know it's not really me but my ghost *woooooooooooo*

Odd, same thing with me. I logged out on Mozilla and it showed me as still there.

Argh. It's the same software, just a different host! Maybe there's something different about their settings.

Try the phpinfo() command in PHP.

I'm currently abusing the search function, as it should be the most processor intensive process the board will offer...

The mark forums/threads read options do not work either.

Hey, something weird. It was running fine and then suddenly it locked up.

I just worked out that they are not placing a cookie on my Computer. Because i was linking from here, I never noticed there wasn't a new one going on, but once i gave the new board it's own link in Favourites I noticed no new cookie placed on my system. That's why it can't remember me I'm betting, and also why it's not marking stuff read after each visit.

Also after destruct testing all the Mod/Search/sort functions they all work with no real problems (only a small lag).

I should note that as an anti-ad measure I have my browser set to not accept third party cookies (which shouldn't affect this as they are first party, but I thought you'd need all details to help fix this). And with that, I go to bed.

Did you try to view one of Exonerate's posts? All those smileys he's using are good at freezing a browser for a while.

Could be connection speed, I'm on a cable modem and it never slowed down until I tried Searching and sorting in bulk with multiple windows whilst IP tracking 12 seperate people.
