Ah, growing pains. If it's not one problem, it's another. joshuadenmark, I'm going to have to pay you eventually for all this work. I'm still struggling to get a new ftp to work. Patience, everyone.

It was doing the logoff thing every session for me before a few days back, but it's storing cookies fine now. Firefox26 here.

I had stored my bookmark as hostgator..... to get to the forum while sleepingelephant..... was offline.

Bookmark is now back to http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bul ... /index.php and everything works ok :D

Maybe this is the case for other members too.

Oh, so that's the problem. Works fine on sleepingelephant.com. I guess I must have missed where you said you can't use the gator address any longer. Could be a good idea to make you jump to sleeping elephant if you press the logo with the text "return home" on gator too.

It seems that every time I come to this forum I have to manually login.
I've tried clearing the cookies and cache but it doesn't seem to help.

Was just trying to add/edit some Wiki-entries at http://sleepingelephant.com/denial/wiki ... lWIKI_Home
Had no success with logging in to edit and the link to create a new account leads to a 404 page.

I have been working on the bridge between the forum and Wiki and it seems to be a security risk that may cause spam or worse.
My plan is to update the Wiki to newest possible version and run it as a stand alone application, with no interaction with the forum.

But when this is said, Media Wiki i new unexploited territory for me, much new to learn.

Let You all know when it's ready.
Kind regards, Peter.

I can login with my old password. Definitely needs an table of contents and index page for regular people to navigate all the content in there. And a link to High Scores in the left panel, for certain, because there are so many retrogaming enthusiasts. And I need to see some brave souls post their Panicman and Pulse numbers for Boray, English Invader, and Mayhem to pulverize. :twisted:

I have no access to the backoffice of the Wiki, if there is such a thing.

Perhaps Jeff knows how to add an index page?
Kind regards, Peter.
