most people know about cookies, i made a little hack for my board that gave the banned people the message that the site was down for maintenance :) they wont supect anything and think that its down, well atleast until they try to access it from a diffrent comp.

@DjSap - Sounds like a good hack...

We could do with something like that at ThePhora...

Fancy publishing it?

@Logican - Nice hack m8...

No use installing it for our banned members though, cos they are the annoying nerdy runts who spend half their life plugged into the machine...

Satan

they could easly delete there cookies

]format c: will always help :p (just joking)

Cool.

Very nice (or BAD! :rambo: ) idea!
I think a browser cookie should have a predefined expiration time. Well, could it be possible to extend that value as late as possible ?
:cheeky:
Thanks

well it's not my idea, it's how vbulletin banned user system works ;)

But no need to worry about cookie expiration time, you can set it to 500 years if you like and ban your banned users grand children as well.. :classic:

I believe this time is already long enough in vbulletin system anyway.

I believe the cookies for bbuserid and bbpassword don't expire... that is, until you delete them yourself.

Agree. Infact the $cookietimeout value (900 secs=15 mins default) applies only to the session duration.
Not to the stored cookie too.

Thanks.

It also applies to other stuff I think, lastvisit or whatever else is stored in the cookies...
