Welcome to the new YachtForums!

That makes total and complete sense. I love the reviews on YF and really appreciate the format. I don't think I should be able to post http://www.yachtforums.com/index.php?threads/review-burger-yachts-151-cruiser-sycara-iv.18350/ here either.

It appears that I can post on any thread and even create threads in this part of the forum http://www.yachtforums.com/index.php?forums/yacht-reviews-feature-stories.142/

Would seems to be true.

Speaking of avatars... I just noticed that the pics from the previous software didn't port over to this new one. I need to find a new yacht shot now. Oh well, the epic TWINE pic was getting a little old anyways, even if I did love it.

Just load it manually.

wasn't that a small furry rodents Avatar?

It does look a little fuzzy.​

P.S.- Interesting, cannot undo center code, when clicked edit.

P.P.S.- CATERPILLAR looks a little fuzzy, too.

P.P.P.S. - Pull the plug?

Bummer, thought I'd go for another T-Shirt.

Oh, well, fun while it lasted.

Bye, time for OldPhartThinker to take a dirt nap.

Bye bye....I'll miss you. Maybe some of the Thinker will rub off on the clonee

If you do not select the "stay logged in" checkbox when you log in, does the new system time you out due to inactivity? If so, what is the time limit?

It appears that I am automatically logged off after some amount of time, which did not happen under the old system.

Looks like there are a few more boards which are not yet write protected.
Yacht News; Builds & Launches: the forum itself and the posts
Yacht Links & Lists: the forum itself, posts are protected
Luxury, Mega, Super Yacht Builders: the forum itself and the posts

The simplest but tedious solutions is a YF wide review of write privileges. =)

Edit time is already limited, that's good.

Yes.

Just trying to show it's not that fuzzy on new YF.

Only needs minor adjustment for 96 x 96 (pic = 95 x 100).

P.S.- Found link to old YF on new YF
and avatar in question - simple copy/paste
and upload did the rest.

P.P.S.- Only lost the chance for a new YF T-Shirt.

P.P.P.S.- Will try to be a Thinker; rather than a Stinker.

Small bills, no sequential numbers.
But fist and foremost: Don't forget to include all the information and forms I need for the tax declaration. The government does not understand jokes when it comes to money.

As with any software change some things the rules refer to have changed. Nothing major, just details like avatar size and changes to the picture upload.

While playing with the .htaccess turn the directory listing off.

Staying logged in. Here is how its supposed to work
The difference is in the cookies that get set.
If not checked a cookie is set to expire at the end of the session, aka when the browser gets closed.
If checked an additional cookie is set, this one has an expiration date one month after a login.

What may be the cause of the different behavior?
Changing browsers does not seem to force a logout.
Addons to the browser and toolbars may be deleting cookies associated with closed tabs. An example for this would be hhtp switchboard which can be set to remove session cookies associcated with closed tabs after 60 minutes.

If "stay loged in" logins would get lost there are two other culprits:
The browser may be set to delete all cookies when closed. Again, some addons and toolbars can delete all cookies and caches on exit. BetterPrivacy would an example.
External tools like CCleaner also delete cookies unless you whitelist them or deactivate cookie deletion.


All that said, I have to work on my reading comprehension. This could of course be a server side feature. So I left a YF tab open for three hours before posting which did the logout trick. (staying logged in not checked)
So either a forum setting, an forum plugin or maybe even stuff like old php sessions aging of the server.

I feel like it has to be on the forum end. Nothing else has changed. Same browser, same computer, same everything, leaving the session open, and I would come back after a time interval (almost certainly more than an hour, and likely less than 3 hours, but I am unsure) and be logged off. Tab would be open, and site would still be up, so I could browse. What made it clear that I wasn't logged in was the "recent posts" at the top instead of having the option of "new posts".

At no time was I closing the browser window, so it is definitely a time out switch. Issue goes away when I select "stay logged in" at the login step.

Try clicking the "stay logged in " box.

Seems to work ok for me, I have only been asked to log in once since the new software has been in operation.

Thanks. As I said in #118, issue goes away if I select "stay logged in". I'm bringing it up because it represents different behavior than the previous system, not due to the lack of a workaround.

New issue: If I am logged in, and use the "Home" link at the top of the page (the one in between "News" and "Gallery") I get logged out upon the redirect to the "Home" page. This has only happened once, and I'm about to verify that it happens again, but wanted to get this posted first.
