Hi Borg,
Will version 8 of Web Wiz Forums support inserting audio/video in a post? Like extensions .mp3 and .wmv? It would be great if they get supported. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |

Only if you link to them, or use the upload tool. But they are not going to be supported by BB Codes that will auto play them at present. If there is time I may look into it, but at the moment there is allot of other work to be done. I've have just spent all weekend working on a system so that cookies are not required to use the forum, I think there is around another 40 hours work to get it finshed correctly as every single link needs to be updated, which means going through every single line of code. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

One of the most common issues with users is that they can not login, because of cookie issues. Usually it is either because they use IP/domain masking, forwarding, etc. so cookie don't work for their site, or another common issue is that IE's cookie cache often becomes corrupted so users can not login. I've probably spent 100's of hours answering support issues of cookies, so having a cookie free forum will save me time in the long run. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I think it is essential to have that on a bulletin board system like web wiz forums. It adds value to it... there are a lot of entertainment sites who would love to insert audio/video in their posts... my forum members have always asked for it. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A.

I had 3 emails yserterday from people with cookie issues, just do a search of the forum to see how many people have cookie issues. If you clean your IE cache often IE's cookie index bug doesn't happen, but it often effects novice users who never clean their cookie cache ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I quite agree site master, but in reality this doesn't happen. At present cookie issues are the most asked support question, also looking at large Web Wiz Forums installations it seems that allot of people are very nagative of web wiz forums, just becuase of this issue. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Sounds good to me. The amount of can't log in / can't vote in polls etc queries I get are unbelievable. Deleting Cookies solves 99% of these problems. Borg must get these same queries 1000 times over. |

The forum will still use cookies, it's just that for those users that cookies don't work for there will be a backup system. I've done allot of the work now for it, but I now want to look into adding more security. By using the new system I also hope to make the login system for those using cookies also more secure. I've bene reading some articles on how it works in phpBB and also want to add some of my own ideas, but overall I hope to have a quite a secure system. The new session table will also be stored at application level, this should give better performance and more security. As free web servers share application variables and beceuase of many new advnaced fetaures in Web Wiz Forums, version 8 will not be supported on free web hosting, so I'm afraid users will need to be on a full hosting account to run the software. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Yes, please, that would be great. I'm looking for an AV player integration into WWF. I've got some hoops here at home, and some lighter fluid, and if you strike a match, I'll jump through those flaming hoops to get AV player integration in WWF. :)
You've got 2 of the 3 things for a secure media player, the Login, the Uploading to private directories, and all it needs is the means to distribute (play) them.
I love the feel of WWF8 btw, I'll be waiting for release.
