And... that link to the main index, right under the banner.

You should become a beta tester or something.

Not really.

Onto important matters, then.

Perplexing.

[Panda Man]

Yeah, I guess I don't need to tell you that the forums won't work properly when the main site is down and you're connecting via IP

What's the connection between the forums and the main site?

[Panda Man]

Domain registration I suppose.

[Evans]

Domain registration I suppose.

It's funny because you say that as if it were common knowledge.

I still don't see what the main site being down has to do with the forums being dodgy.

Breaktime in class. He shouldn't have made the attendance sheet available before break this time. Now I am going to ninja myself out of this place. Time to get home!

[Evans]

Then again, asking such a question to the guy who's been killing the forums for a while isn't the brightest of ideas...

The links you were saying don't work all have epforums.org in them. All the others just have the IP.

Yes, I am aware, hence why I pointed those out. I was referring to being logged off randomly while browsing the links that have the "IP" URL.

Cookies and other stuff work via domain, which is epforums.org. The domain is registered with the main site, so if the main site is down, the domain epforums.org goes down too.

Basically, no domain = weird stuff happens.

When I click this link, I get logged off, for example.

Ahhhh, thanks for the clear explanation.

Finally. =D

I had hoped the cookies would adjust depending on which URL was used. Lame.
