Why are some of the thread names bold and some regular?

Nema the ones in bold mean you have already posted to the thread and the the ones in regular text mean that you have not posted to that thread.

[nemafakei]

Ah, I see. Thankyou.

[exatreide]

ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh my avitar ahhhhhh ahhhh. What have i become ahhhhhh. i like it ;)

[quoudam72]

Yes what is it or should I say who is it? It looks familiar but for some reason I do not know why.

[Acriku]

Some  Godzilla character?

[evilbaronatreides]

looks like a reject from a power rangers episode.

[Gobalopper]

That is Megalon I believe. :)

[quoudam72]

Megalon?

[evilbaronatreides]

Gob, do you specialize in dubbed films? :) :) Or do you like Godzilla alot? ;D

[Gobalopper]

No I just did a search on Google for enemies of Godzilla. I'm not going to lose a fictional battle against someone like Ex. ;)

[jacobdouds]

This group of people sure like their wars. And finally we no longer have to read Nema's corrections.

[Timenn]

Sorry for bringing this up again, but isn't it an idea that you can add you WOL login by your profile an idea? If you have one ofcourse...

[nemafakei]

Good idea. Not totally necessary, but in theory, it shouldn't pose a problem when gob has the time (and if he deems it useful)... and it may prove useful.

[Gobalopper]

I will see if I can do something like that, it shouldn't be too complicated...

[evilbaronatreides]

That is a pretty cool idea, that way we could challenge each other online. Imagine it: A Fed2k tournament.

[Gobalopper]

Ok it should be working now. Just edit your profile to add it.

[gunner154]

k thanks Gobalopper

[gryphon]

Don't know if you want to know it Gobalopper and if this is the place to post it but here it comes anyway.

When I'm logged in [ as gryphon ], don't logout and exit my browser, [ you know witch I use :) ] then start it again and go to the forum, guess what.

I'm stilled loged in. [ according to the forum and the lightningbolds next to my name ] but my page displays " Welcome guest, please .. . . . .".

Didn't remove any kookies, temp files etc. and still have the same IP.

Does the software use "browser ID" to identify you or does my filter realy work and doesn't send any personal info ?

:)

[Gobalopper]

Well it uses cookies to log you in/check if you are logged in so that might be why...

I think the lightning bolt might use your IP address or your regular account info but I'm not positive.

[gryphon]

That's what I thought in a way as well.

It would also explain the lightning bolt next to "guest" posts.

[Acriku]

You know what is weird? I type in dune2k.com/foruim/YaBB.pl and it gets me to the forums. But I am a guest. All I do is hit home (upper right, next to help) and I'm logged in. Can you explain that? It isn't a burden, just a wonder.

[gryphon]

Nope, it isn't that strange in a way.

You have a Dune2k kookie and the site is registerd in you "kookies.txt". The software uses these to ID you, even if you are not logged in the forum has the abilety to "see" who you are. [ if you are a member here at Fed2K ]

Then your IP can also be used, but I didn't found out how mutch of the ID is been done by IP.

Exually Gobalopper should say this ;)

[ it would be weird, or a wonder if you do this trick on a computer you havn't used before to visit Dune2k.com and you get logged in ]

[thomas]

ok I am scytale88 at wol. mainly I play renegade.

[Acriku]

But dude, the weird thing is, is that I have to press home. The cookies should kick in when I go to it right? Or maybe the address is different in the cookies. Oh well, seemed weird to me.

[thomas]

hey I think there should be a fed2k private online skirmish for fed2k members only sometime for emperor.
