Hi Scream, thanks for your quick and competent reply. Cookies: If you would put META Tags in to clear the cache of a) the Forum's Main page andd the EDIT config's main page, the problem with the cookies not beein accessed when the page is read from the cache would be gone for those browsers that accept those META commands. ALso, changing LANGUAGE and SKIN might open a Javascript POPUP with the message: these changes have no effect until you reload the following page..... Or better: On "Edit-Environment"page/ ACCEPT button pressing, the User is put to a fresh page (which is not in the browsers cache
that loads the new cookies and redirects then back to the main CONFIG PREFERENCES page - WOuldn't that be cool? If you don't include it, I do it as a hack :))) Cookies, one more point: 1. I go on a page and I am still unregistered. (For example I use the eMail-link from the "You got a reply on your post"-Mail) -its hard for a Newbie User to realize that he cannot reply because he is not logged in. There is simply no reply button. Here something like "For a reply, you need to log in" message should be better, instead of just no button. 2. Registering is also a problem: You are on such a page under conditions as described above, find out you need to register and are guided to the REGISTER page... You register and then are on the LOGIN/Private mail Main page.... Then you wonder hoe you come back to that specific page where you came from and where you wanted to reply to a mail... Suggestion: a. Reply button is ALWAYS visible. b. In case you need to register previously to replying, hitting Reply sets a cookie about this page, then brings you to the INPUT password field. c. Because a cookie was set, the LOGIN/Private mail Main page has another button: Jump pack to the MESSAGE you wanted to comment on last. d. Hitting this button (A). deletes the cookie and (B) brings you to the EDIT MESSAGE window of the specific message... WOuldn't that be extremely conveniant for users? (Thats how the Forum at ADOBE.COM works) Carl
