Since this is my thousandth post, I'd just like to take a minute to say thanks.

Also, akcnowledge that I should probably be making better use of my time. Oh well.

And I'll point out that contrary to the bbs software's assertion, my Treo *is so* a real host. I doubt both EudoraWeb and Blazer don't do cookies.

Hmm, now I'm wondering what error message you might have seen. I can't remember if it's one of my rewrites, or the actual origional error.

"The host you are trying to send the input from is not a valid host. This can be caused by firewall software."

It goes on to say "this is not necessarily an error", but given that it didn't take the post, I think it lied.

Blazer uses a proxy, but Eudoraweb, as far as I know, does not.

Ahh, this part This can be caused by firewall software. is mine after a few people e-mailed me about it. It's a cookie problem in most cases, and I discovered certain firewall software may block cookies.

Guess I should go back and clarify it.

I suppose I could look, but how does logging in work at all if I don't have any cookies? Because, well, I was logged in.

I'm pretty sure you should have had a massive PHP session ID in your URL if cookies are disabled (or not supported). I haven't dug much into it, because if I spend too much time in the BBS code, I'd go insane.

I hope newer versions get better towards the cookie voodoo.

I'll look at it later, I guess, and see what the deal is. I wanted to post while at dinner and couldn't!
