Active Topics Heading

Post by jackspratt » October 4, 2015, 7:55 am

It seems that the Active Topics heading is no longer available without first logging in. :(

Can you please confirm, UM-Tech. Also, whether this is a temporary measure, related I guess to the security breach last week.

Does it not affect "guests" who just want to browse the forum ??
They have no log in id and would have to use the Board Index to check every heading ?

It's true that we have made some changes, jackspratt. But I'm not sure of exactly what you're talking about. The most recent posts listing on the home page? If not, would you provide a pointer to the page you mean so we can check it? Please do not post it here; send it by email to [email protected]. Thanks.

Hi Zid,

When I go to the "home" page (while not logged in) http://udonmap.com, I see the normal list of active topics.

What actual URL are you referring to so we may check into this further?

Hi,
I've been looking a bit more into this (with my limited computer skills :-" ) and it seems it only happens on Internet Explorer.If I use Google Chrome or Firefox I get the active topics list up,as you say.
On Internet Explorer I go into (http://www.udonmap.com/udonthaniforum/) ... ive_topics[/b]

I used to go straight into "active topics" but now I get an info page "sorry but you are not permitted to use the search system"
I then went into "Board Index" but there was no "active topics" banner to click on.
So I go into "Home" and I get an "Events" heading but no "active topics"

I've used the original URL for some months now and its on my favorites page......but even if I google Udon Map(http://www.udonmap.com) on Internet Explorer,I still get the "events" coming up instead of the active topics.
Its no big deal,really,as I can use Google Chrome or Firefox instead now but strange that its peculiar to I.E.

With Firefox using http://www.udonmap.com/udonthaniforum/ You won't get any longer the old start-up page.

Furthermore if You are not logged in:
You can't use the Search-function of the Forum
You cannot open subtopics of the General Udonthani forum - e.g. to see the concerts in October 2015
Everything demands a prior log-in.

But especially during the nights there were 10 times more guests than logged-in users.

Active Topics Heading

Post by UM-Tech » October 6, 2015, 4:34 pm

During testing, deletion of cookies is a good way to eliminate conflicting cross-browser results.

Or when using apps like Firefox, select Private tab, which starts with a 'clean slate' e.g. no cookies pre-set.

If forum data (such as Search, or Active Topics) is displayed in one browser app (IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Lynx), but not another, even after deleting cookies for www.Udonmap.com, or www.Udonmap.com/udonthaniforum/ , please advise.

Basically all recent issues are down to recent adjustments to how the Guest group, e.g. non-logged in users, functions.

Your comments and QA examples are much appreciated as we fine tune it such that a good balance of security and usability remains.
