PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 That is 4 different authors? Manual PM Manual Topic Auto PM Auto Topic Would there really be a need for such a thing? Link to comment
Aussie Cable Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well probably not. For all auto - admin I guess For manual, the actual author. Is that reasonable? Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Actually, the "problem" is about the auto ones. Currently, for the manual, the author is the admin who presses the buttons. So the author setting that was added (seen in the image) is about the auto ones which are not physically initiated by an admin, but instead by an action (the duplicate registration detection). Is this approach sufficient for most of you? Link to comment
Aussie Cable Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yep, that sounds fine to me :thumbsup: Link to comment
simonb Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi, screen cap attached. What did you decide about cookies? I'm not sure I understood. Thanks. Link to comment
simonb Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 What happens to prohibited registrations? I had prohibit selected for duplicate registrations when really I wanted proceed. I see the new member, can I now make them a live member? Thanks. Link to comment
KevinMc Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 My apologies if this was already answered here. While testing, people registering can create multiple accounts if using a different Browser. If they use the same Browser, then I can prohibit the registration process, but not if they're using a different Browser. Maybe I'm overlooking something? Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Do you mean that you were able to register an account with one browser and another account with another browser, and the app didn't show the two accounts as dups? Maybe one of the browsers doesn't have Flash installed? For example, if one of the browsers is IE, then you need the Active-X Flash, while if the other is Firefox, Opera etc, you need the Plugin Flash. Link to comment
KevinMc Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Do you mean that you were able to register an account with one browser and another account with another browser? I didn't proceed with fully registering because I wasn't presented with the error page, which I was hoping to see. Both Browsers have Flash installed, and I could have went through with the registration, but wasn't I supposed to be presented with the error page before any of that even happened? Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Only if Prohibit the account registration is selected in the app's settings. Link to comment
KevinMc Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Only if Prohibit the account registration is selected in the app's settings. It is, and has been. Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I just tried to register some new accounts in my own board using IE, FF, Opera, Chrome, and Safari (just to test if Adobe has made any changes to the latest version of Flash player breaking the cross-browser ability), and I was stopped by the app each and every time. What OS are you running? Can you try to create another account with each browser? Link to comment

PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Can you go to C:Users<USER>AppDataRoamingMacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjects and see how many 8-characters folders are there? Link to comment

PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Can you PM me some Teamviewer info to see this in action? This is obviously related to your computer, but I'd like to investigate the circumstances esp. IE doesn't detect the dup. Link to comment

This is obviously related to your computer, but I'd like to investigate the circumstances esp. IE doesn't detect the dup. I'm not sure what good that would do since I was merely testing this. What's to say that the same thing won't happen on another computer, from someone who actually is trying to register multiple accounts using different Browsers? Theoretically, you could be providing support for many people one on one. Basically, I could care less if it works on my computer. It just needs to work on computers other than mine. Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 That's exactly the point. I'd like to investigate the circumstances it didn't work (cause for any tests I've made, it worked 100% of the times). And if it's something that I can improve regarding the app (that is not Adobe related), this will be a great chance to find out. ;) Link to comment

PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ammy (http://www.ammyy.com/en/) maybe? Which doesn't even need installation? Link to comment
KevinMc Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ammy (http://www.ammyy.com/en/) maybe? Which doesn't even need installation? Can we set up a time to do this so we're both available? Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 This is exactly the case, we'll both need to be online. Right now I am (obviously :P), if now is not OK for you, we can arrange some other time for this. All I need to do is try to register some accounts, and at the same time take a look in the folder I mentioned above, and also look at the source code of your forum in each browser. Link to comment
KevinMc Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 That's why I asked to set up a time. I'm online now, but not available to do this with you. I'm pretty flexible, but it'll have to be in a few days. What time zone are you in? Link to comment
PrinceOfAbyss Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm in EET (Eastern European Time) that is UTC+2 Link to comment
akke Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 An easy way to reproduce the problem is to make sure you have installed the latest adobe flash player. Then register the first account with Internet Explorer and a second account with Google Chrome. A couple of weeks ago (when I was busy testing this app) I noticed it always works in that order (due to flash changes by adobe). Tested on a 3 different computers. Link to comment
