That happened to me once too, some king of flaw in the script.

The only possible way I can imagine that happens would be if you go offline, close your browser, immediately go online again, open a new browser and come back to the forum with this new browser. Then, and only then, you get a new session id.

Definite no on the opening/closing browser, probable no on the disconnect/reconnect. When it happened to me, I had gone from the board to another site, then back again, and my name was on the list twice.
I'm pretty sure that I stayed connected the whole time, but my connection's been very unreliable lately and it's hard to keep track of when I get disconnected.

Perhaps it'd be better to go with cookies instead of sesion ids?

As for your question: No. Session ids are safer (impossible to 'hack' ) and work for everyone (unlike cookies which can easily be turned off).

I've applied a fix to this problem, could you please try to see if it occurs again?

Yes, when I saw you online twice, I started working on it, so that occurence doesn't count ;)

So my f*cking with your script motivated you into doing something semi-usefull? I feel honored :P

Well, in the old forum, I often had to log out twice. Could that be related?

If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough.

How should something in the old forum be related to this one?
