Thanks Chroder

I always wondered why the administrator usernames here didnt show up in bold italics, but thanks to your advice yesterday I was able to fix the problem.

 

[Chroder]

Er, your welcome

 

[Chroder]

So are you ginna make the VIP's blue or italic or something?

 

[ian]

Well I tried italic as a subtle choice, but then realised for that to take effect, I would need to make VIP as their primary usergroup, and not secondary, as the changes did not take effect.

 

[Chroder]

Aww, that sucks. I wanted to be italic.

hmm... since you guys are on the topic of vb, i have a few questions for you chris.

1. what are the names to and what all do the vb cookies contain?
2. what databases does vb support other than MySQL?
3. are the user passwords encrypted in the database?

i am considering trying to fully integrate vb into a completely asp based site. probably doesn't sound like the most logical way to go about things, but it would make for an interesting project.

1. There are several, but the most important: (note that 'bb' is an editable prefix)

• bbuserid: The userid of the user for use with auto-login
• bbpassword: The hash of the users password
• bbsessionhash: The current session ID of the user

2. None, vB supports on MySQL right now. Though people are starting to complain about this, I wouldn't be surprised if they supported others soon.

3. Yup. The users password is

md5( md5( password ) . salt )
