It seams to be defined in yor code, but was somehow not in mine(?)

Still I have problems uploading images, even I have given all users access to upload files and images in the forum. No error message; but the upload windows won't close after uploading. Before the uploaded image was sent to the post ed message.

Any Ideas?

Webmaster MJF! what have you changed in the code to fix it??? i found the code but am not sure how to manipulate it.
 

'Read in users ID number from the cookie
strLoggedInUserCode = Trim(Mid(Session("UID"), 1, 44))

'If a cookie exsists on the users system then read in there username from the database
If strLoggedInUserCode <> "" Then
 
 'Make the usercode SQL safe
 strLoggedInUserCode = formatSQLInput(strLoggedInUserCode)
 
 'Initalise the strSQL variable with an SQL statement to query the database
 strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID, " & strDbTable & "Author.Username, " & strDbTable & "Author.Group_ID "
 strSQL = strSQL & "FROM " & strDbTable & "Author "
 strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE User_code = '" & strLoggedInUserCode & "';"
  
 
Anyone wanna help me out???

The only thing I can think then is a corrupted file of some kind.

Try reuploading all the original files again making sure they are all from the same version.

Have you tested to see if your site can hold the ASP session?

One way to do this is to run Firefox and have a look at the stored cookie for your site, if the ASP session ID keeps changing it means that your site has issues holding the ASP session.

Also check that the application pool on the server is not set to be using a web garden and is not continually recycling.

You can check that the app pool is not continually recycling by looking in the Windows Task Manager for the Image Name w3wp.exe, if the process ID for these keeps changing then the app pool is recycling, which could mean either an app pool setup problem or a bigger issue on the server.
 
 
Thanks for the info...
 
1.  I added PID to the View in Task Manager and monitored the w3pwp.exe's.  I watched them for about 30 minutes.  The did not change at all.  Though the Mem Usage and CPU usage for those processes varied.
 
2.  Regarding the forum.  I did seem to get a little further this time, which is a good thing, but I still ultimately end up at the same place.  As you suggested I looked at the cookies from within FireFox, and here the ASP Session ID has not changed.
 
Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDSCCCDCDT
Content: PDNBEOIDKOIKALCNACFPAPKK
Went to Web Wiz Forums License Agreement
Cookie Session ID the same...
Came to Forum Administration Menu
Cookie Session ID the same...
Created a forum...
Cookie Session ID the same..
Changed Password
Cookie Session ID the same..
Clicked on Membership Admin from the Admin Menu
Cookie Session ID the same..
Then....I received the famous message
"Sorry, only members with sufficient permission can access this page."
Checked Cookie one last time and it was still:
 
Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDSCCCDCDT
Content: PDNBEOIDKOIKALCNACFPAPKK

So apparently, the session ID is not changing yet there is some other issue.
 
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Borg,
 
1.   There is a hardware firewall, however, the ip addresses we are testing from, are allowed open access (all ports).
 
2.  No script blocking. 
   
3.  The only software programs running other than iis and sql would be veritas netbackup and mcaffee virusscan.
 
Would it be possible to download v7.96 and to try that?
 
Thanks,
Jason Walters

In version 7.97 for extra protection against the latest hacking wave the login system for the admin section is completely different to the main forum.

The admin section now requires the admin to re-login to the admin section, which now uses a more secure ASP session variable to keep the admin logged in throughout the admin section.

If for some reason your browser or server is dropping the ASP session you will get issues logging into the admin section.

Please see my other posts in this Topic for suggestions if you are having issues logging into the admin section.

If the servers app pool is continually recycling like your host have said then it sounds like there is an issue with the server and it sounds like the server either has a bug that needs addressing, or the app pools have been setup incorrectly.

Until this issue is resolved with your host server you will not be able to use software, such as web wiz forums that requires ASP sessions and application level variables.

If the app pool is continually recycling then things like Active Users, Performance enhancements, logging into the admin area, uploading files and images, and lots of other features will not work or fail to work correctly.
