I prefer ASEville's index2.php over index.php.. maybe you could enable users to have prefs when it comes to "equal" pages ?
and: When I switch browser, the site assumes I've read everything on the forums, which is very annoying. I assume you save this in cookies ? Can't this be saved in a server-side db ?
The tracking information is kept by cookie only per session. Session to session information is kept in the DB. This is down to keep the database queries to a minimum and because it works .
Yes, the index2.php page will be selectable sooner or later. I need to update stuff on the page. That used to be the main index and then someone recommended a simple start page and I agreed with it. It just needs better pictures.
2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!
