Today I have upgraded the forum software from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2

This should have fixed the cookie dropping problem we were encountering. Also, you can now view where members are browsing online by clicking the currently active users link on the main page of the forums. Here's the changes:

Bug Fixes/Enhancements
- Fixed bug with styleid 0 being treated differently than styleid 1 (it shouldn't have been)
- Added precaching to a template in forumdisplay.php
- Fix sorting options when searching but displaying results as threads
- Added additional CSS integration for alternating colors in all files
- Changed member.php to use POST method to prevent that "you must revert your modifyoptions" error
- Additional checks to avatars in case getimagesize() fails
- Added setting that controls what happens when a call to getimagesize() fails
- Fixed issues with CP login
- Checks in install.php to ensure you have all the correct settings (and add a few guesses at settings)
- Fixed bug with searching for users in the CP and custom fields
- Fixed incompatibility relating to uploading in Windows with magic_quotes_gpc enabled
- Fixed bug where unregistered users didn't have to enter any name at all
- Actually fixed unregistered users voting on polls
- Fix sort by thread rating bug
- Automaticaly strip out stop words (badwords.php) in searches
- Display MySQL errors in line when they happen to an admin
- Optimize thread merge feature (don't reindex all posts)
- Additional minor bug fixes
- Global disable for vBcode Buttons & Clickable Smilies in Options Panel
- Rogue non-stylable colours in control panel fixed
- Better handling of email sending from control panel
- ability to send activation codes to a user in an email message
- fixed bug where threads with ignored users could show pages without any posts
- Required custom fields now appear in the required section at registration.
- NEW quick find user by username from main control panel page
- NEW adminlog view/search/prune within control panel (see help on that page)
- NEW stored private message statistics in control panel
- NEW ability to strip an unwanted poll from a thread without removing the thread contents
- NEW subscribed thread manager - allows you to prune thread subscriptions - useful for keeping email-sending loads under control
- NEW Option to not show unregged/coppa/awaiting confirmation users on the memberlist.
- NEW Ignored users are now shown in threads with a clickable place holder that will bring up their posts when clicked
- NEW Option to set custom profile fields to be hidden and not editable by the user so that they may be used as information fields by the admins/mods
- NEW Improved page navigation template system - pagenav_xxx now replaces numbernav and numbernav_pages. This change means that the display is more configurable via templates, and redundant << < > >> are no longer shown
- NEW Integration of Kier's Who Posted hack into display of threads in forumdisplay, search results and subscribed threads.
- NEW User mass usergroup move & user pruning system in control panel.

The buttons on the "1,2,3,4,5....last" while INSIDE the thread (meaning, you're reading the thread), are practically black. Not a good color scheme, IMO. Change it back to something readable, please....

I just made the fix

Let me know if there is anything else.

BTW, another cool feature.....when you go into a forum and see the list of threads....if you click the number of replies....it will tell you who has replied to that thread and how many posts they have made in that thread....

I'm still tossing my cookies, so to speak. Anyone else still having this problem?

Yeah, but it's not nearly so bad as it used to be.

I don't know - maybe it's me but it seemed to be working fine when Dave did the upgrade. Now losing cookies seems to be more frequent now.

it was great for a while
but recently it started to toss them again

I've always seemed to have the problem every now and then....never really changed.

I think it actually may be an issue with the PHP4 installed on our server. I'll be contacting my server company today to see what they think.
