One could argue that login mode is about 0.001% of forum software functionality. I've had to use and help implement other forum environments with far more irritating attributes than double login.

TY, didn't mean this as criticism but only feedback/reportage. As I posted before, double login is, to me, a more than acceptable price for staying with dcforum. Re FF, couple weeks ago they issued a point release 1.5.0.1 which I am running. My experience - it is LESS stable than 1.5, if you can believe that. x(

Double-login requirement persists for me tonight. Tried it several times. (Running FF 1.5.0.1, compared to which a piece of whale dung at 30,000 fathoms would look like a fleecy white cloud in the sky.) But I deleted MER cookies, logged into site, and still was asked to log into forum before I could post. Tickled, though, that Member Since date is now showing correct.

Same here. Sometimes login from the main site lets me post. Other times, such as now, I still have to re-log in to the Forum. No evident pattern. Currently running Firefox 1.5.0.1.

Today's quiz: Is the following (a) grossly unfair, ( true but only part of the story, © the reason we're here? http://www.upfrontezine.com/Figs/sww6-2.jpg Saw this in a PowerPoint presentation at a technology conference the other day and nearly wet myself. Most women in the audience seemed not to object but then they were engineers. As in: Q: How can you tell the men from the women at MIT? A: The men shave.

This is not exactly on point, but...if anyone finds Vietnam inconveniently remote, there is a nice Vietnamese guy based in Portland, Oregon who might tide you over. http://www.men4rentnow.com/fs/126539.3A3E04B2.jpg http://www.men4rentnow.com/ds/index.asp?cm...n=YoungAsianboi Have seen him twice, most recently in December. Review in the works.

The Independent followed up today with an unusually sympathetic portrait of a male escort: http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_brit...ticle340705.ece The mandatory tut-tutting appears at the end, but it is at least reserved for johns such as Mark Oaten: "The tragedy of such men is that they must secretly want to be caught," they have a shrink explain.

Hallelujah! It worked for me too -- even though I'm using the dread Firefox 1.5. Upward!

Here's another vote in favor of double logins, if that's what it takes to stick with DCForum.
