By the way, I'll upgrade the forum to 3.2.1 in a few minutes. It should be quick.

We still alive so, 99% he didn't updated yet and 1% that we are ok after the update

Okay that didn't go so well, reverted back. I'll monitor this forum and upgrade when people figure out what's wrong.

Question. Is it NECESSARY to update any way? Does the update offer anything worth the time and effort to do it all?

All of the sudden I can't log in anymore, my password isn't working

Clear out all your cookies, close the browser and try again.

I had a similar thing happen the last time Timmy played with the forum, I had to manually delete all cookies or the forum would just bounce me around the log in page.

Of course it's worth updating, it's a security related update.

There was a problem with cookies after forcing HTTPS and forcing secure cookies - it isn't a problem anymore as I've renamed the cookie on June 20.

Security is cool, you know so long as it doesn't involve TSA agents.

It looks like url tags aren't allowing steam:// protocol links since the update. They were very handy for linking to workshop items (e.g. [url=steam://url/CommunityFilePage/661658019]Subscribe on Workshop[/url]) so that the page opens in the Steam client rather than in the web browser. I don't know about others, but I don't usually log into Steam in my browser more than like 3x per year.

Is there a way to increase the number of posts per page? Most forums let users choose that setting, but I can't find that option here.

If there's no way to do that, I'd like to see the default number set to 20. Ten per page was probably a good default setting back in the days of dial-up, but we've advanced a bit since then.
