Tom's Forum Posts

  • zenox, that is planned :) The forum software doesn't allow it but we will be moding it ourselves.

  • Arima do you not have a 'Post options' button under each post?

  • Zen,

    Yes, there are two ways to fix this, one is to force lower case and one is to allow case sensitivity. I heavily favour case sensitivity as it exponentially increases the search space for peoples passwords, and it also is two birds with one stone because anyone still trying to login who can't (I still think there are some users) should then be able to login.

    Special chars work at the moment, it literally is case sensitive letters that cause the problem only.

  • Right, it looks like the issue is PHPBB was case sensitive passwords, but this new forum is not, it forces inputs to lowercase. This means that if you had an uppercase character in your password, you would generate an incorrect hash and it would fail your login.

    Hopefully tonight I can edit one line of code and fix it all in one go. This will now mean your passwords ARE case sensitive. The reason your uppercase generated passwords worked is because they were a trusted generated string that wasn't passed through any filters.

  • Ok, I've found the cause. This would also probably be why some people can't login initially as well. Any password with upper case letting doesn't work for some reason. I will look into why this is soon. In the meantime, change your password to lower case and it will work fine.

  • Sorry I missed this earlier, there is obviously a lot of value moving these other, I will take a look at it and see how hard it is to do.

  • This is really bizarre, sorry about this. I've done a lot of tests, and I just can't reproduce it. I'll investigate more and get to the bottom of it.

  • Noga, yes, your profile will be publicly viewable as

    scirra.com/users/noga

    Lucid and Procrastinator, how does:

    "xxx is interested in game making with Scirra.com"

    sound? I've decided we have to have a sentence like that for SEO reasons, I'm open to suggestions though.

  • Thanks guys, the forum software just released a major new version which allows post reporting, I'm looking at getting it installed ASAP.

    Mods should still be able to delete posts, atm I'm reading 90% of all posts and will delete them as they come.

  • We are still working out details Kirby, but keep an eye on the blog and these forums for more information as it comes.

  • I'm curious as to how people who's primary language isn't English, and their browser habits the the habits of other people they know.

    For example, if you were to come across and English site such as this, and you are unable to articulate what you mean sufficiently, how do people usually tackle this problem?

    Would you use Google translate? Do you have special software? What's the most common solution?
