thanks. that seems to get me the functionality i needed. is there any way to
get rid of the username line when using the "Read Password" feature? as it is
now, you can either leave it blank or enter anything you want, so long as you
use the correct password it still works. however, to keep users from getting
confused, i think it would be better to only have a box asking you for the
password and not both the password and username.

No, this is an HTTP standard. The dialog box is generated by your browser, and I
do not know any way to prevent it.

there is a guide on the contributions logbook at

elog:Contributions/11

for securing Elog using SSL and Apache.

God really STRANGE and problematic effect on 2.5.5-1 (can't remember it this
was with 2.5.5 or 2.5.4-X but i'm nearly sure it worked well):

Entering a date (Formate Bithday = date) may crash down the server:
Value is 22.2.2004: Everything is well
Value is 22.2.1962: Server crashes emmediatly (menas restarzing several
times, always the same problem)

I do not have time to check true all the years for finding out where the
problem may beginn, sorry. Also I was not able to check on other systems
right now. My system: Win XP Pro SP 1, IE 6 as well as Mozilla Calssic 1.7.3. 

Didn't check it under Linux right know in case of a lot work.

Clould you this fix please Stefan???  THANK'X!!!

I just submitted a reply to elog:847 (the reply is elog:853).
Normally the thead containing the reply should now be listed as
the top thread.  Instead only the original message of the thread
(elog:820) is listed but the remaining messages in the thread are not 
listed.  It seems the problem is that for elog:820 the 'reply to this'
header is missing.  And elog:820 and elog:824 are the same messages
except that for elog:824 the subject is missing.  Actually ALL attributes
for elog:824 are missing.

I guess you could fix things up if you:
- add 'reply to this: 823' to elog:820
- remove entry elog:824

best all,

I'm having trouble with redirecting after creating an account or login.
For example when i create an account with an Admin user when i click on 
Save i recieve the following error:
Error finding page!
And this is what de browser address tels me.

http://192.168.71.26/ZC004/?
cmd=Save&new_user_name=zcpvenema&new_full_name=Peter+Venema&new_user_email=p
venema@zernike.nl&email_notify=all&newpwd=123456&newpwd2=123456

But when i remove the line frome the ? and than press enter then i'll while 
be able to just elog again.

here is my Global cfg file setting.

What did i do wrong??
