Hi Bruce,

Mod's: I don't think it is wise to publish this topic!

BUT

I thought and understood you made a security patch to avoid that people log in from two different pc's by means of the / a cookie, well . . .

Now I am from my home pc logged in as eftie, and i know I manage to do the same from my work pc tomorrow . . . . I do so for several weeks now.
I thought: just to let you know . . and you know: "I come in peace" but is there something not OK?

Not quite sure I unhderstand what you are trying to say.

But if you mean you can login from two different PC's as the same user then that is how the forum is designed to work, otherwise you would need to have mutiple accounts if you use more than one PC.

Thought I recalled there being something to prevent you from being logged in as the same user - at the same time. Maybe it was a mod?

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Being that HTTP is a stateless protocol I think doing such a thing would be quite difficult.

There was an update that means each time you login now a new user code is created and the tracking cookie is updated.

This means that the auto login feature will not run if you are using mutiple machines.

That's the one I was thinking of.

And that's exactly what I mean.
The auto log-in works on both machines. In the evening @home and during day-time @work.

On both machines I bookmarked the latest topics page and I never need to log in . . on both machines, because I am logged in straight away.

And tháts what I thought should be prohibited.

Weird issue, on the website where I run the forum, it really works that way. If I log in on one machine, I am automatically logged out on the other and vice versa.
That's why I asked.

Try downloading the latest 7.9 version and replace the file login_user.asp with the latest version, then logout and login again. This should sortout the problem.

It could be that the last time you logged in on your @home and @work machines was before you updated to the latest 7.9 version as the auto login cookie is set to last for 1 year. Only now with the latest version if you login is a new cookie and code created.
