Name: Log out when logging in
Date/Time: 18/06/04, 14:24
Bug Short Description: If you log in, it logs you out. Then if you log in again, you're logged in.
Steps To Recreate: 1. Log in. 2. Log in again.
Attachments/Notes: Once you've logged in and logged out, all topics are marked read. So i can't see what's read and what's unread anymore. It's annoying.

ermmm this is a known bug with phpbb2 and has been known for some time...
if your interested in tech. reason why this is read on else leave topic now.
PhPbb2 uses sessional variables to store your login on the forum. The session is stored in a backend database evrytime anybody refreshes a page it checks all the database entries and sees if any session id's need deleting.
When you hit the login linik this is what generates you session id and stores to the database. Next time you hit the login button it then sends another session id and erases your previous session id.
How it works out if posts are read/unread is that it keeps a check of the last time your session id was deleted any posts that are after that session id is considered to be unread and befor to be read.
The session managment is a fundemental bit of programming the back end of the forum itself and to change it would be a huge task which is not going to be undertaken by anybody within this community.
how to get round this...
A) write your own forum software ... cya in about 2 years.
B) devise a handy way of managing sessions which nobody else has thought of yet.
C) read all the posts whilst you are here
