Title: forum errors -- possible fix here
Post by: tikbalang-newuser on November 30, 2006, 11:20:58 am

hello everyone!

please check the session id set by this board's cookie if it is part of the problem. note that it gives out an expiry date of 1970-01-01.

refer to the screenshot below:

Code: [Select]

Good find. I was actually thinking to myself it may be server time related. The server's time seems... off to me as a guest.

Not that that has anything to do with cookies or variables stored within, but you get the idea.

Well, I got an error about the page's cookies, so I thought something vaguely related to this, but not knowing much about it, didn't know how to approach it.

PHPSESSID is not used by the forum. If memory serves, cookies have that date set when they are intended to expire at the end of the browser use. According to firefox, that cookie "Expires: at end of session"

This seems to suggest to me that my hunch is correct.
