QUESTION,

the vB sessionhash - is that a real session or a way to mimic a session? Is it an array of variables kept in memory or is it just a variable used to track people online (stored in the session table).

I'm trying to understand why there would be any conflict when I use "session_start()". There doesn't seem to be any conflict when the user doesn't block cookies - but if he does, the entire page does not get displayed - which gives some weird behavior (sometimes, clicking on a link will display the rest of the html that should have been displayed on the previous page - but didn't.

It's almost like there isn't quite enough memory to output the entire html document (if cookies are blocked) and it gets temporarily stored somewhere until you click on another link.

Example - with cookies blocked (I'm using IE6.0), go to the home page (http://66.220.24.247/forum/ ). At the bottom, you might see "<font face="verdana,arial,he " or it might give part of the text that follows the locked icon. Then click on the FAQ button up top. When I do that, the FAQ page comes up and the last few questions are cut off. Now, if I click on the Home Button - it takes me back to the home page, but above the actual Home Page html, it shows the remaining questions - with some extraneous html since the html tags were cut off.

Now - if I don't block cookies, none of this happens - everything works great!

Has anyone run into this kind of a problem. The code that affects this is definitely "session_start()" because I've taken it out and it works fine even when cookies are blocked.

Thanks
