Using IE, and yeah nvm its not a problem.

Its only that I cleared my cookies and history and files when I was logged on thats why I had the yellow bar, but now I dont =)

ahh ya that would make sense... there are separate cookies for site and site forums, so it possible (but not likely) to be logged in on forums but not site, as well

Hey my english gotten better in time man =)

I mean looking at my first posts, man I had bad spelling and I still do Razz

Not bad for someone who has it as 3rd language eh? eh? Laughing

On topic, I never thought thats possible. I have seen sites that have forums and a main site but I had to register for both. While at KMA site I only registered once. I mean those sites piss me off where I register, then I have to register on forums too...

ya luckily the forums are integrated in on this site, but they still actually 2 different "beasts"

we are currently running phpbb2, of which support just stopped. We probably be switching to phpbb3 before the year is out, so some things may change when that happens..... but there will still at least be a "user" bridge requiring only 1 registration/acct.

Here are some of the new features for those interested. Some we already have, but are add-ons to the standard phpbb2

New User Features (phpbb3)
Sub Forums:
In PhpBB3 there are no categories, everything is forum based. Each forum can have an unlimited number of sub-forums and you can determine whether each may be posted to or not.

Attachments:
Users can attach files and images with the post.

Birthdays:
The PhpBB3 will automatically show the list of users having birthday on the current day.

Post Icons:
Users can select icons for posts. The icons will be displayed in the forums in front of the post title. New post icons can be added through the admin panel.

Font Colors:
PhpBB3 supports variety of font colors. Users can apply color to the text using the color swatch in the sidebar.

User Profile:
In the profile, PhpBB3 will show the most active forum and most active topic related to a particular user.

User Status:
You can see the status of other users .In the left hand side of each post made by a user, the board will show user’s online/offline status.

Multiple Private Messages:
Users can now send Private Messages to multiple users.

Manage Subscriptions:
Users can manage subscriptions and can delete topics from watchlist.

Bookmark Topics:
Users can bookmark topics for future reference which can be accessed from User Control Panel.

Save Posts as Drafts:
Users can save posts as drafts. The saved posts can be accessed from the User Control Panel.
