I have installes the msg board now and it works like a Clock !

There is only one small problem,

When LOGIN from my other mashine the "login sucessful" appears and i get tossed back to the main menu without being logged on.

I came to an conclusion it has something to do with IE 5.0 .. it works fine when loggin on with netscape .

I am an total ASP newbie , and the site is not finnished but plz . try it out at http://213.65.1.250

DS the whole server is set on an ALPHASERVER
but i dont see why that should be any differnt .

Kind regards //Valle

Did you disable cookies in IE by any chance ? You need to have cookies enable to be able to logon.

Valle,

First of all: you had disabled Secure Admin Login which meaned that every user visiting you site had access to the Admin Options. On the internet that is never wise !

I registered, logged out and logged on using IE 5.0
At first it didn't work, but after I deselected the [] Save Password box it worked.

I also noticed that the serverdate is almost 1 year behind. That would cause the cookie that is being written when logging on to expire at once (because the date is in the past) when the Save Password box is selected during logon.

Try it once more when the date on the server is adjusted.

I also found deselceting the ( remember password ) box enabled me to log on .

About the date problem, im currently running the Windows 2000 adv server Beta / on an Alphaserver 1200 machine , and this is the latest beta before Compaq / MS scrapped the Win2K Alpha project.. my option is to go down to NT4 server and i hade some icky problems on NT4 server upgrading the IIS, well i find this softload to really ROCK !! Only for the time on the server has to be rewinded not to make the beta expire .

You know once you go Alphaserver there is no turning back. ! he he.

And it aint no bad thing logging on with terminal services and administer it remotly from anyware on the net.

So you are stuck with a beta that expires and no way to upgrade to a full version ?
And they can't provide you with an upgrade so that at least that beta doesn't expire ?

There might be a workaround to have the forum display the correct date even when the server doesn't have the correct date.
But it requires some maintenance.

Say the beta expires on 2001-01-01, then you would probably be using a date set somewhere in 1999 to be safe.
If you set the date to the current date -x years, then you could still have the forum display the correct current date and get the cookies to work properly.
You just have to change one line in config.asp. Change:

strForumTimeAdjust = DateAdd("h", strTimeAdjust , Now())

to:

strForumTimeAdjust = DateAdd("yyyy", strTimeAdjust , Now())

Now, instead of adjusting the servertime with hours, you adjust the servertime (and thus date) with years. So if the serverdate is 2 years behind you would set the Time Adjustment: in Server Date/Time Configuration to 2.

I haven't tested this, but I think it should work.

There was no release of the full version.

It only came to the beta stage ( lots of alpha admins are frustrated about this )

Compaq took of to Tru64 and Linux instead on this platform.

Ivé never heared of any hack to disable the time bomb in the betas either , so to get it to work at all one has to fix the clock.

But that time hack seems like a nice plan .
