alright. i fixed the cookie problem. took me only a few days. i'm tired now ...

ok, here it is in a nutshell:

- cookies are send to the client computer within the HTTP-Header.
- a http-header can NOT be send after any other data has been send to the client. (hence the name HEADER).
- if you attempt to send a cookie AFTER the header was sent, you either (on good systems) get a error message OR the cookie request will be ignored.
- for sloppy/stupid/unexpierienced/stupid/stupid programmers, there is a workaround where you can cache all web-page data in a buffer and if that web-page contains any header/cookie specific calls, those will be collected and send first, then the rest of the page. this is done by the web-server.
- this allows for really shitty code to actually work.
- this is what the guys who made our BBS code were doing. (IBF forums)


so, all i had to do was to set the "i'm a dumb-ass programmer" flag in the server settings,
and voila! it works again ...

I met Debbie Fields at a conference we were staging. We did a shoot with her in my hotel room. She's a hottie! She loaded us up with some cookies, too!

Nothing exciting to see. Our audio guy had the best (panty) shot though. He had to lay on the floor with the boom and had no option but to stare there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

cookies are enabled. Temp int files are not not deleted when closing browser. It actually started working properly, but now I have no unread post boxes at all. Maybe it'll be like the 914 does sometimes and fix itself? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

on the main bbs page (where you can choose the forum) there's a link to mark all posts as unread. do that and see if it happens again ...
