That's strange. This error should only occur if someone uses a user name or 
password with more than 256 characters, which I hope is not the case. Have 
you tried changing your password etc. in this forum? It also runs 2.1.0 on 
Linux.

I made a version under 

http://midas/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elogd.c?rev=2.67&content-
type=text/plain

which has improved error output for this problem, maybe this helps.

When logging in with a username and password; then trying to logout or 
change password one gets the following message:

Error: Parameter value too big. Please increase VALUE_SIZE and recompile 
elogd ; Please use your browser's back button to go back 

(up to now I have not yet tried to recompile - may be it works then)

that's ok. i just wanted to make sure that i hadn't missed something. i'm eventually switching over my entire dial up bbs, to my web page, with elog being the message system. self-registration was the last piece of the puzzle for me :)

Sorry, I haven't fully documented it yet, will do on Monday next week. For 
now, see the configuration file for this forum which is attached.

i seem to be unable to find a clear explanation of how to enable self-registration in the docs.

just to be sure i grepped the doc directory, but the two references to it were in the changelog and the faq.

it could be just me but i'm not reading between the lines or connecting the various places in the docs to get it going :/

Actually this is a good idea. After thinking a while, I wonder if anybody at 
all would like not to preserve the preset values. So if nobody complains, I 
will set the behaviour such that elog always preserves the entries if one 
edits an existing message.

Ok, but is there a possibility to preserve the fields of the old message, but 
still be able to edit it. This would be a nice feature in the case of an entry 
with lots of attributes (set to something different then the preset values). 
After submiting the message you realize : one option was wrong and now you 
want to edit it without changing the other options again.
Is this possible?

Thank you and best regards,

Stefan
