A little bug, and a suggestion!

No, i removed that. It was redundant and no reason to have it there. I didn't want it in the 1st place.

Hi Guys,

Back on the other issue, I am wondering if it isn't something to do with the cache. I am currently experimenting with increasing its size.

I am no expert on current browsers but I seem to recall that if the cache filled up it would cause problems?

Can't imagine it would log you out though. The cookie should keep you logged in no matter what, assuming you are allowing it and checking remember me.

Hi,

I don't know if this has any significance, but I was looking in the FF Disk Cache and I noticed several items relating to AO that have an expiry date of 1970-01-01 but their last amended date is current. :confused:

Well those would be cookies that were "deleted" by the delete script. That's how cookies work. THey're not physically deleted but rather have the exp. date set to some time in the past. So they're not really deleted but expired.

Ah! I see. Isn't 1970-01-01 the day the World began according to Microsoft? or is it Apple?

It rings a bell, and I have traditionally associated it with some sort of error condition................I stopped being a teenager that year:D

Back to the upgrade front, I have been using this box (ME & FF 1.5.7) for AO as I have other stuff going on in Win 2000 & XP. It certainly seems to be a lot better..............I haven't been booted out and I have left it for quite prolonged periods. I will try the other two later, then if anyone still has problems we can compare settings?

Cheers :)

Actually 1970-01-01 is the base for UNIX time. UNIX time is the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00 GMT

That would be HUGELY helpful Nih, thanks. There's nothing left for us to try at this end so I feel it has to be some local difference in settings. Grazie.

Hi Joe,

I have had this one on for over 10 hours now (my ISP would like a certificate from you:D)

I have finished with Win 2000 and XP Pro for the weekend now so I am available for any investigation on those OSes. If you want 98SE then please give me an hour or so to set it up on my broadband;)

I can do dial-up testing if needed, but I hardly use that these days...............

Nah, that's not necessary. Now the thing to do is for you and DjM to compare settings. Clearly something is different, we just have to track down what iit is. Thanks bud. I see he's on so hopefully he'll see this.
