Hi, Todd;
I've logged into LUGNET from a machine that I usually don't use, and therefore
are not logged in from my usual IP (it's static on my work machine). I have
logged in using my member information, but everytime I reply to a message, or
start a new post, the "New user/TOU" screens prompt me to (naturally) confirm
that I realio-trulio want to try to post a message, and I should read the
Terms Of Service. I don't have a problem with this; I expected it. However,
(and this is my real point) I would have thought that by logging in, the
system would recognize my login, and assume that I had already read the TOS
and could be trusted to not flood the system with spurious messages.
(I do software QA for a living, and this is the kind of thing that I look for,
so don't feel like I'm trying to persecute you, or anything.)
Now, I'll admit that I haven't read the plan completely, nor have I gone
through every message in admin.general to see if someone else has already gone
through this and brought it to your attention. If this is already a known
issue, nevermind. If not, (and this is improper operation) I live to bring
such things to your attention.
=Cheese
PS: I love LUGNET.

| (...) As I understand it, there is currently no integration between the userid and the various cookies (news setup, mail subscription setup) and therefore, knowledge of who you are is not taken advantage of to any meaningful extent. As LUGNET grows (...) (25 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
