Is everyone else having to log in each visit? My login and password aren't being remembered. I actually had to login twice this round. I logged in at the main page, then went to the Forums and had to re-login...hmmmm?

Yeah, you know I cannot change my Avatar. Same kind of thing, like a login loop where I login, go to "profiles", make the changes, then have to login again. I am sure that our more then competent webmaster will get all working well!

I've been trying to edit our band page to add the May schedule and I log in and go to "edit band page" and it tells me I'm not logged in. So I log in again and it takes me to the forums and when I go back to the bands page, it logs me out again. Help!

Ya know, I've been having the same problem with Rockpage and a few other sites as well. Seemed to have started roughly around the same time as I installed the latest Windows Update. But it only affects my 98SE machine . . . my XP boxes are fine. Any thoughts anyone?

I tried to delete my cookies, that usually takes care of it. Looks like it might be a sessions prob in the database and Ron will have to look into it. But i could be wrong and its all my fault!

It looks like Ron moved rockpage to another server. RP is being redirected to rockpage.nearhoof.net. That may explain the glitches.

Yeah, mine too. But then again, I have a few other cites that aren't remembering my "stored" password/login info. So I don't know if it's just this or if the whole internet is having a giant hiccough. Or maybe...Ron is being evil and trying to take down Billy Gates finally. ::routes him on:: Go Ron!!!

Hmmmmmm, kinda funny how I am having no problems with my Powerbook, assuming you are most likely Windoze users, maybe it's time to reconsider?

The problem was global. I believe that everyone is OK now. It is cool though that now I have actually met 2 of the 14 Mac users worldwide and they are here in our area! Bet you wish you could run Linux on that "PowerBook!" just kidding!! LOL

Well meet a third MAC user, I have a G4 at work and an IMAC at home.

It turns out that this problem happened while I was away.

The server Rockpage was on developed a terminal hardware problem, and everything had to be moved to a different server. While all of the database and files were moved flawlessly, the domain name pointers didn't. That caused a problem that lost the persistent data when you moved to different areas of the site, and made you lose your cookies.

Since I was away, I'm not sure how long this lasted, but it looks like 3 days. Sorry.

DWertz diagnosed the problem correctly, so he wins a crispy new Rockpage T-Shirt. Email me your mailing address Dave.

Oh... and to the Mac users, BRAVO!

Do any of you know how to program for Mac OS? I need to port some Windows code to Mac.

I use Windows for everything now, but only because my work dictates it. Most of the code I've been writing lately runs via Linux or WindowsCE on our own hardware designs. It's amazing how much brainpower you can fit on a board the size of a cassette. (For those of you born after 1980, that's a little thing with tape in it that you can record music on).

I used to be a hardcore Amiga user. I hated 'IBM compatibles' because I was into animation, and the Amiga ruled at the time. My first taste of programming was with the 'Atarti Basic' cartridge that you could get for the 2600 8-bit video game. My next was an Atari 520ST. No hard-drive, and 1/2 a megabyte of RAM! That was followed by an Amiga 500, same deal... no hard-drive, and 1/2 a meg. Some very funny animations came out of those pieces of crap. I was too poor at the time to afford a hard drive. Sounds crazy, but it's true. I had to swap floppy discs constantly.

Whew...

Meet yet another Mac user. 700mhz G4 iMac here at work (one of the "lampshade" models), and older ones at home - 350mhz G3 iMac, and an old souped up Power Mac 9600 with a G4 800mhz upgrade. All running Panther.

Of course, I still have PC's around, mostly for games and other CPU-intensive tasks. (my older Macs at home just can't play some of the newer games as well as my 2.1ghz PC can)

Oh, and you *can* run Linux on a Mac. But why would you want to, for everyday desktop use, anyway? I can see it if it's an old one that can't run OS X at all, but I'd still only use it as a server, since it would probably be too slow for any useful GUI-based stuff.

As for Mac programming and porting, I'm told the Xcode tools that come with Panther is a nice package of programming utilities.

A long, long time ago, in a place far, far away, I once had a Mac clone called a Laser. It had an orange monochrome monitor. Then came the mighty 286 IBM clone, with it's whopping 1 meg of RAM. The days of Dos..........good times.

(I also played the very first Test Drive game on it. )

Wasn't that a clone of the Apple II, and not the Mac?
