I don\'t think its a matter of not caring, its just a matter of available time.
But to be honest, I\'d rather have the hassle of having to log-in everytime as opposed to being deluged with porn.
you can stay logged in all the time and still not have the porn ads.
bool setcookie ( string $name [, string $value [, int $expire [, string $path [, string $domain [, bool $secure [, bool $httponly ]]]]]])
expire
The time the cookie expires. This is a Unix timestamp so is in number of seconds since the epoch. In other words, you\'ll most likely set this with the time() function plus the number of seconds before you want it to expire. Or you might use mktime(). time()+60*60*24*30 will set the cookie to expire in 30 days. If set to 0, or omitted, the cookie will expire at the end of the session (when the browser closes).
60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours times 30 days = 30 days in the above example.
the mktime() would be fine with me set the time and date for sometime like jan 1 2011.
just means people would need to rememebr to log out of CMoN when in a place where someone else could access their computer.
don\'t know if these are part of the PHP version CMoN runs on, but am pretty sure the admins (and some mods) already know these things.
just clearifying for others it is possible to not have the site log you out all the time. this is a good way to test browsers to see which is giving an error if any.
xmblva, xmblvb, and PHPSESSID are currently the only cookies i have from CMON.com. the forums have only 5 cokkies for them as well.
prior to DR (thanks) reseting or whatever my account to fix errors i was having viewing parts of the site other than the forums i had all kinds of other cookies in both the main domain, and forums cookies. as i figured then it may have had something to do with the ads trying to place cookies and hijack the CMoN cookies.
i know some sites do this inadvertantly, and so blatantly do it. but whatever recent changes Chern has made in the NEWS forums it was mentioned has done some good. or DR found the magic account button that will fix anyhting wrong with a reset of the accounts.
but that would be a pain for them to have to reset all accounts that have special features to go back and turn them on....
anywho. i see the admins doing stuff to fix things. more could be done i agre, but they are here doing things (after trips/vacation) now that they are no so busy. borg is updating the shop quite often.
my only real problem with the site as far as logging in is probably as i mentioned the expiring time for the cookie. haven\'t tried IE lately to log in since firefox can block some things i don\'t want to see better when visintg CMoN, but currently all is working fine. no otehr sites has caused me any problems save for when the cookie was scheduled to expire anyway.
make sure your browser is set correctly after ANY update for windows. they always like to change things the way they want your computer to run, rather than they way you want it to run during updates! :cussing:
