I keep getting booted out sometimes after an hour, despite the fact I checked the "Always stay logged in" option.

I lost a really good thread I was working on when that happened.

It likely has something to do with your cookies, Do you delete them often or is there a setting which removes them automaticly?

I would remove all SFO-related cookies and see if that helps. It could be that the cookies you have are corrupted, so having your browser create new ones should do the trick. If you use any cookie-managing software, make sure to tell it to leave SFO cookies alone.

I seriously doubt it is something server-side, as I have yet to have a session terminate on me, and I access SFO from several machines.

What browser do you use? How to clear cookies varies from browser to browser.

Uh...Firefox?  :?

Go to "Tools" then "Options".  Then go to the "privacy" tab and click "remove individual cookies."  From there, you can remove individual ones, or clear the entire list :D

Whenever I make long posts that require the white scroll bar on the right -->,
and i start typing, it doesn't want to stay scrolled down. It just scrolls back to the top of the post. whenever i type a letter, it will scroll back down for a microsecond, then scroll back up. If I stop typing, then use the wheel on my mouse to scroll down, then it will stay down, but if I start typing again, it scrolls back up. It's only a minor problem but it's annoying when I trying to quote something that fills up a lot of the space.

Am I the only one with this problem? Or is it just my piece of junk computer?

Thats been around as long as i have, good solution is just making the Post box longer by holding down the white bar at the bottum with the mouse and pull it down...

[Dragon Fox 05]

Ok, thanks. Will do! Wow, i feel so stupid for not noticing that before...  :oops:

What does OS mean? Computers aren't my strong point.  :facepalm:

However, the browser I use is Internet Explorer

OS is operating system, either Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.

Doh! I use Windows, then. A very buggy Windows to be exact. It tends to freeze a lot, which is why I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is just my computer acting up.  :)

OK, I can reproduce it in IE8 on Win 7. I'll look into SMF's bug reports and see if there is a fix.

For the record, it works fine in Firefox.

Yeah, maybe I should switch browsers...

SMF is saying it's an IE bug. They say it should work in compatibility mode.

Um, what is compatibility mode? I don't see it...  :lol:

I just realized why compatibility view sounds so familiar... *click* Ahh, much better!

Thanks DZ, and sorry for the trouble!

[Kursed]

I'm sure it's no trouble. At least from my point of view (being a bit of a computer geek myself :P)


Speaking of bugs is it just me or did a update or something mess up all the color tags for usernames?

[YJH1995]

Yeah i think it did

the same happen when i use a different computer
I can see that the mods/Admin are not coloured
when you click on the 'user online thing" they are normal
when you click on their profile they are not coloured
oh yeah the text are bolded

[DZComposer]

The name colors were a mod. That mod is failing to install, despite it's declared compatibility with the new version, along with ALL of the anti-spam mods. So, they will likely need to be installed manually. It is Finals week, so that, along with fixing any CSS bugs, will have to wait.
