I'll take a look.

I'll admit this is a setting and I can change it but why do you need so many smiles? BTW, I think we lost some of the icons when we converted.

I think it's a conversation bug. I'll report it.

It's a little shocking at first but I think you'll grow to appreciate it. I can tweak a lot of settings.

I noticed one thing. When you go to login page, you uncheck "logon automatically.....". After you enter forum with your login name, close the browser. Open the browser,and go to GRB and you are automatically signed. Now if you logout before you close the browser, it wont sign you automatically. It's not thats suppose to work, right? When you uncheck "logon automatically...." it shouldnt log you in when you come back.

That's the way it suppose to work - your session hasn't expired. With our last installation of phpbb the cookies were completely screwed up so I bet worked differently. For instance when I log in now it remembers which threads I've viewed.

Does that mean, "logon automatically...." doesnt have any significance?

They've always browsed the forum, that's how search engines find pages. Since bots can be harmful it's nice to have them as a user type because now I can control what they can and can't do. It's actually a pretty powerful feature. The admin functions with phpbb3 are incredible.

It does if you wait a long enough time and your session expires. Closing a browser shouldn't end your session.
