Site Maintenance: login changes this evening @ 11pm     

TullettJ (MoneyAM) - 02 Jun 2004 14:15

Hello,

This evening at about 11pm I will be changing our login process.

During this process, which will take a few minutes only, MoneyAM will be unavailable, and it is also possible there will be a few login issues afterwards.

*if* you find you are having difficulty logging in after the change, can you please close down all your browsers (email too if you are using outlook please) and try again.

If you are still having difficulty then, please email support@moneyam.com and we will revert back to the old method.

The reverting will not happen until 630am.

Im sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you but it will help with future enhancement of the site.

I agree with Gausie. I enjoy MoneyAM, hopefully your changes may enable a smoother and quicker login. Today I have found it very slow to login for some reason!

Thanks

Highride.

angi,

If only it were that simple, we wouldnt need to do this. I have thought long and hard over other ways we could do this, but with the limitations put upon us by the way the session handling (maintaining logged in state) was set up initally (by me) there is no other way.

Highride,

We are going to look at the login speed issues (we were speaking about it this afternoon and will be getting out our fine tooth combs) in the early part of next week.

Was there any particular time you noticed it slowing down? (you shouldnt have to log in that often - are you?)

Hi,

The site changes appear to have worked, so assuming nothing major happens in the morning, itll stay in this configuration.

Off to bed now, early start...

Yes seems to be working....but tomorrow is another day, sleep well.

I'm still logged in from much much earlier with no problem.

crystalclear,

can you please log out and restart your browsers just to ensure it has worked, as there is no way you should still be logged in with a session started before 10:56 - i trashed all of them?

thanks.

I'm connected via modem, so I just visited periodically during the day. The worst times to log in yesterday were about 10.15am roughly and I think 6.0pm. Though the times between weren't great either. However this morning, no problem at all. Smooth and fast.

Keep up the good work guys.

Highride

PS. Ian(MoneyAM) Thanks for removing one particular nutter from the TAD board. He was extremely abnoxious and made Thread involvment unpleasant due to his continual personal abuse. Thanks again.

Don't know if this info is of use, but nothing's really
changed for me.

Pre or post sign-in mods the following is still the same.

When ever I try to use the 'log in' tab, it takes me through
the normal procedure and screens. But when it comes back to
the main page, I'm not in fact logged in.

If I click on the 'Investors' Room' tag, it takes me through
the normal procedure and screens and does indeed log me in
and opens up on the threads page.

This will keep me logged in, even if I go to another site, for
the whole session that I am connected to the internet.

If I go offline and shut down the computer, I have to log in
again.

Don't know if this means anything?
Anyway, it's not a problem for me and saves me having to mess
about with the session cookie settings which would affect
all sites.

Melnibone.

Melnibone,

The fact that you are being shown as not logged in after you have logged in, could be down to a cookie setting in your PC. You need to make sure you have session cookies enabled.

If you go offline or shut down your pc, next time you come to the site, you will have to login again - this is correct and how the system works.

Melnibone,

Over the next few days you should find the session stuff changing on your machine (it is taking a few days for the old cookies to expire)

From then you should be able to log in, then close the browsers and turn the computer off, but as long as you reaccess the site within 8 hours, it should not require a login any more.

J.

Melnibone - 03 Jun 2004 14:51 - 17 of 17

Thanks for the info, Ian.

I'll keep an eye on things and report back if I get
any problems.

Melnibone.
