session authentication mod (so that users dont have to mess with cookies)

[severina]

yeah. someone said that they could probably make a session authentication mod so that yabb can be like other boards which don't require users to mess with their cookies (out of 1150 users, i have so few that post, and i get about 10 messages a day asking that they're getting "logged off" when they sign on) .. most users are really not savvy .. my users are electronic musicians and fans so they're not that privvy to that.. i mean after i tell them they usually figure it out but still.. some users will just leave because of the problem and i'll never hear from them again.

could someone write something like this?


by the way i'm still not on 1.4..  soon i hope

I thought they were writing 2.0 this way, but I'm not sure.  I hope to God they do, because I am going through the same issues still.

YaBBSE 2 will use sessions instead of cookies.

a mix of both was what was planned way back.

do we know exactly when something like this will be released?  i'm losing many users like this.

still looking for a brave soul who'd like to attempt this.

I think sessions are confusing and I know a lot of people that think the same so don't get your hopes to high for this mod
