Just a little notice for the Admins.
At times when I refresh, index.php shows the system status page instead of "TheHavenNet :: THN Games".
Just a little something I thought you should know about as it is a major security gap. (Said page containing server speciffics, etc etc)

I'm not seeing that at all. Would you be able to screenshot the problem?

Alternatively, Haven might see something in the logs...

[Response]: index.php and System Status Page

Ronin: If it happen again, I will screenshot it. Didn't think of it at the time.
Edit: Ronin. Check: http://promethius.thehavennet.org.uk/
This is what happens at times when I refresh: http://games.thehavennet.org.uk/index.php (Still display's thehavennet.org.uk, though and not prom's URL)

Haven: That would be it, yes.

The short version:
I refresh page: http://games.thehavennet.org.uk/index.php
And get: http://promethius.thehavennet.org.uk/'s page (URL in address bar still showing as: http://games.thehavennet.org.uk/index.php)

I hope this clears up any confusion with previous explanation.

Update:
Right. I have thuroughly tested with I.E 6, Opera and FireFox.
From what I have seen thus far, this has only happened with I.E 6.

Greetings.

Right. Just a random note on this. I have not yet checked exactly what is causing this random re-dcirect. But here is a screenshot from today (a few minutes ago)

#############################################
#Image removed due to size restriction. It has been mailed off to Haven.#
#############################################

Note:
  • Used PortableNetworksGraphics format for this to keep as much quality as possible and slim size at the same time.
  • Browser version is included in the screenshot.
  • The language displayed is Swedish (Sorry about that. Default due to the O/S being Swedish*grumble*)

Added info: After testing, this only seems to happen with this version of I.E. If anyone else is experiencing this little amusing issue with other versions/browsers. Feedback is greatly apreciated.
The URL displayed points to my profile page. (So you will not have wonder and check where it points to :P )

[Response]: Image size

The size is 1024x768, which is the current max desktop size for me due to the monitor(Spec info on rig is stated here)
So I do not have a larger one at this time.

that looks like IE6.

IE6 should be purged from existence, forever.
I agree on this. But I only use I.E for small quick stuff. And since I am not too keen on the newer versions of I.E for ovious reasons, I will not be updating to current versions :p

Save pic and zoom should cure that problem ;)

What "obvious reasons?"

If you dont want to use something like firefox then IE8 isn't all that and and is WAYWAYWAY better than IE6

I have FireFox, Opera and I.E 6 installed.
Pick one :p
And the obvious reasons for not being to keen on installing the newer version of I.E would be:
1. heavy as a truck.
2. Security flaws larger than this planet. (I can go on all day with a list of reasons if you want, Q-ball ;) )
I.E 6 is hugely flawed as well, yes. But at least it will not slaughter my connection like I.E 8 did (Tried it. Modem didn't like it one bit)

Hmm. Noticed now that the uploaded result was WAY small than the original.
Hmm... Gimme a few and I will get it sorted

Edit: Right. Seems I am restricted to 600x600 at max here when uploading.

Right. Haven! Shoutbox PM time! :p

Edit2: E-mail sent. So Haven will have a look at it later on.


Added note: This is not an urgent matter. But merely something I thought the Admins should be aware of.
