Minor Site Changes
06-12-10 08:16 PM

A few little changes have been made.

First was a few modifications to the login script to proprely handle when you click on urls before your logged in, to correctly redirect you after you login.

Second change was again to the login script, removed a few of the useless redirects, should make the login page alittle faster, expecually for people outside of the usa.

And a few other changes to help speed up the site, no big improvements, but hopefully will speed up non-usa people again :)

Changed the generic images to use multible server names to help download speeds from non-local clients (eu, asia).

The last change, the dns around so cookies only applied to www subdns entries. This required changing the garfield and images under www so they could authenicate you for user pictures and writing entries. But it keeps the extra processing of cookies from when you download generic images.

That all makes my head hurt. Can't imagine what it does to the rest of our users.

What what does?

my testing had showed no difference atleast for me, as far the dns thing goes.

The redirects takes me an extra 40ms or so, so not really noticable, but eu and asia is like 100 to 300ms

I think he was referring to the tech-lingo lol

ya, I thought of that much later :)

But I mainly did this post to log the changes I did more than for users :)

Oh yay about the login thing. I was getting tired of having to go back to the home page if i accidentally clicked on someone's entry before I logged in. Thanks for the improvements!

I love programming.
Actually I recommend you encrypt any source to the table name so that passwords cnnot be found in bulk. It may sound like a headache, but upload your password files to a secure source.

Also encrypt any "FORM" Line command parameters.

Just a few suggestions.

Happy to help anytime - Josh =D

I don't know if this is just me, but I'm unable to get the 'embed' tag to function properly on my diary anymore.

D'oh. Ok, I HAD been unable to get the 'embed' tag to work properly. I seem to be able to use it today. Maybe you're just that quick to fix things, though...? :P
