The smiley that laughs and bangs his fist doesn't work. When I post it, it comes out as lgh. I'll try to post it here.lgh
That's not the code for that emoticon.  It should be rofl2 with a colon before and after it.  Keep in mind that you being on a Mac might be a factor here as most things are designed for PCs.  You can always click on the graphical emoticons themselves and see the codes being shown when you preview your post.
I clicked on the emoticon. As I said before, it came out as lgh.

I'm having trouble staying logged into the forums. Every time I come back after some time of not being here (usually a few hours), I have to log back into the forums. I do use the actual logon page and I am sure to click the "always stay logged in" box. I've also cleared my cookies.

I'm having the same problem. It usually happens when I click the "check all threads as read" button. I login and then it says there was a problem with the session. :dunno:

Thats a new one  :blink: I haven't experienced it personally but I'll run a few checks to make sure things are ok. If it persists after today let us know and I might have to submit a bug report to SMF.

A few issues:

The Valentine's Day logo is still up on the TWCT site.

Every time I go off of the page for any amount of time (i.e., 3 minutes), I am logged out. I always click "stay logged in". The funny thing is that when I come back, I do not have to input anything into the fields. I click "login" (without ANY text in the box) and it will log me in. It will also log me in if I click on a thread, again without any text in the box.

Submit a report. I've noticed this for over a week now.

Guys, just so you all know, Jesse is always all over the logos and knows when to change them and how long to keep them up, so this should never be an issue. ;)

Thanks for your hard work, Jesse. :biggrin:

Wow so apparently SMF forums are coming under attack and this is a safety measure to protect the forum. Bots have target this forum (among thousands of other SMF forums) and are using each username to attempt to gain access. After a certain number of failed attempts a user is logged out if they have been signed in. This may be why its happening to select members at different intervals.  A newer version of the forums has been released with a fix and we are working to rapidly roll this out.

Release Candidate 5 of SMF 2.0 has been released, and is currently being prepped for update. Right now, with Martin's hectic college schedule, it will be at least a week before the upgrade is complete. The update, when it is being applied, will happen late night, as to not affect activity as badly. We will keep you posted.

RC5 is just the security patch and SMF provided a patch for RC4. I will probably just be doing that so we don't have to bother upgrading everything

These bot attacks do probably explain why the forums have been painfully slow at times
