It appears back up now.

On the left menu, under "My Account", when you first visit gpu72.com and you're not logged in, two items do not appear on the menu:
* Individual Overall Statistics
* Help Translate

Is there any particular reason these two are excluded from the not-logged-in menu? I would especially appreciate the first one, since that's the first page I'm (personally) likely to look at, and I always get confused when I can't find the link.

Still works here without login.

click on workers progress and then on your name (any other name) in the table. There are the same statistics.

Now I'm puzzled. Until I posted yesterday, whenever I'd visit any part of My Account on the site I'd be prompted to authenticate. No big deal since the authentication is saved in my browser. But now, after posting, I've tried accessing the site in 5 browsers, including 2 I'm certain I've never accessed gpu72.com from before, [i]and[/i] from another computer from which I've not logged in to gpu72.com

Chris: are you playing tricks on me? :smile:
I know there was discussion a long while back about changing the authentication system, has that come into play now? Are logins stored by IP now?

Nope. Are you me? :wink:

[QUOTE=James Heinrich;331230]I know there was discussion a long while back about changing the authentication system, has that come into play now? Are logins stored by IP now?[/QUOTE]

Absolutely not. The site is simply using HTTP Basic AUTH -- no IP; no cookies (with one exception detailed below). I want to migrate to Digest AUTH, but it turns out many people have their browsers remember their passwords, and the browsers don't know how to handle an AUTH type change.

I have no idea why you're not being prompted for a log-in. Are you [I][U]sure[/U][/I] you never logged in before with the other browsers/machines?

And, to answer your question about why you don't see the Individual Overall Stats link until you log in, it's because I exposed that with a bit of a hack. It's actually a publicly available link, but with your UID as part of it. The system doesn't know what the UID is until you've logged in.

[QUOTE=chalsall;331240]Are you [I][U]sure[/U][/I] you never logged in before with the other browsers/machines?[/QUOTE]As reasonably certain as I can be.

Just for some added certainty, I fired up my netbook (which I rarely use) and installed Safari (to be [U]certain[/U] it's a browser installation I have never [I]ever[/I] logged in with), went to [url]www.gpu72.com[/url] and there's my (with user hash) Individual Overall Statistics link on the left.

I will hazard one guess: my building switched ISPs yesterday, so it's possible this new behaviour I'm seeing is related: possibly the ISP is caching something? Although if I go to pages I've not been to from this ISP (e.g. Contact or What's New) I still see the Individual Overall Statistics link.

:unsure:

Unsure as well...

Is anyone else seeing this behavior? I have not made any changes to the code base which would explain this.

I just connected (with permission :smile:) to my neighbour's wifi and verified I was on a different IP (wildly different, actually, despite being on the same ISP installed on the same day -- 216.221.*.* vs 72.38.*.*)

Using my netbook on Chrome, I loaded [url]www.gpu72.com[/url] on "my" IP and I appear to be logged in. I switched wifi networks to my neighbour's, loaded gpu72.com in a new tab, and I'm not logged in. So it's not computer or browser related, but somewhere in my ISP's chain of caching.

Try clearing your cookies. GPU72 lays down about 4 or 5 of them.
