Topic: i think
the thing u said about third party cookies is incorrect. All BB's don't make problems like PunBB. They don't have the minor bugs PunBB has.

PunBB - I like! 
. But - How come it can't be like phpBB and IB? I mean - they support all kinds of cookies, I don't have to change my explorer settings..

Well, you must like PunBB for all the wrong reasons then. PunBB exists only to be different from phpBB/IPB/vBulletin. It is the very essense of the PunBB.

Are you sure it works correctly with phpBB/IPB? You should be able to login with those forums (since they use sessions), but it won't remember you the next time you visit the forum. You have to tell the difference between a session and a cookie.

All I know is that phpBB + IB don't has problems with cookies and moderation...

Re: i think
I just searched around in the phpBB forums and people are having the exact same problem there so get your facts straight before you complain. As I said before, people will still be able to login in those forums (since they use sessions), but they will not "be remembered" the next time they visit the forum.

Drop the "can't remeber me" thingy - I'm talking about proxy problems etc - Moderator can't edit his posts in his forum..

Re: i think
One possible solution for those who must use a proxy, could be to have an option-switch to turn off the http_referrer check in the admin-section.
For me it isn't a problem since i have a public ip for my router and the ipnat/ipf in the router doesn't interfere with surfing.
And my ISP doesnät require the use of proxy, but i have the option if i want to.
Mod anyone?
Re: i think
Wooty: I thought you were talking about cookies. Oh well, the moderator who is having problems will simply have to use another proxy then. One that doesn't mess with HTTP_REFERER. An ISP would never use a proxy that interferes with normal web usage, so he must be using some kind of anonymous proxy or web filtering software.
RNilsson: Well, disabling the referer check would be a huge security whole. A malicious user could just fool an administrator into visiting a page that submits a form that could i.e. make the malicious user into an admin. I'm afraid having the option to turn it off will just result in people turning it off because they are lazy or because they don't understand why they are getting "Bad referer".
