1) You have the entry for $MAX_LOGGEDIN_USERS from GLOBALS twice in the main admin config...
|
Hmm none of the forum's I've upgraded have this entry twice. If you can send me your GLOBALS.php via PM, maybe it'll give me a clue on why this may have happened/

2) I don't see in GLOBALS disallowing session urls variable any more, while there is such an option on the admglobal page. Where is it gone? Did the process for setting URL sessid became automatic if the user's browser does not accept cookies? And what is SQ in the url standing for at all if not sessid? And what is empty S= standing for?
I'm afraid that it's my weakest comprehension point - for the use of cookies (had previous version on local machine not logging me in without URL sessions at all... - no solution)

All YES/NO variables were folded into FUD_OPT_* bitmasks. You can find out the individual bitmasks by reading GLOBALS_HELP.
SQ stands for sequnce and it's a session security measure.

3) What the "name" field in profile (and database for that matter) is used for in the forum? I can't see it anywhere...
|
User's full name, only used for administration.

4) What the $SITE_HOME_PAGE in GLOBALS.php is used for? I havent' found it referenced anywhere on settings page or in display views...
|
Useless field that has been there for ages, I am removing it in the next version.
