The forums have been redone to fit in with the rest of the site - unfortunatly this means we will loose old conversations and threads. The old site will come back up in the near future as read only for historic purposes.

You'll notice that right now these forums seem a little featureless... I've got a lot of stuff turned off for simplicity - I'll be enabling features as time goes on... I've got some pretty cool skydiver profile ideas that need a bit of work to bring them to completion.

If there is something specific that you're looking for - let me know.

I miss the view most recent posts option. It made it mutch easier to keep up with multiple topics at once rather than searching through the various threads.

Be careful, there's a lot of weirdos out there!

I miss not having to sign in every time I come to the forums. Is there any way to alter the log-in stuff so that I can stay logged in indefinitely, if I want, on one computer?

There should be a small "Not Read" link above the forum that you can use to quickly become up-to-date on posts if you're checking once a day or so.

This feature is coming back, There are a few security issues that I need to resolve - because the login is now tied to everything on the site - including purchases, it is important to protect user accounts more carefully;  Login cookies are *extremely* easy to hack.

I've designed a system that will define three levels of login - the first of which can be remembered and will allow access to things like forums, etc...  the second will keep a session that expires after not visiting a Skydive Secure site for longer than 20 minutes, this will protect personal financial data, the third will require a second password - and will only protect administrative functions.

I want to get phase 1 of Tandem reservations and Gift Certificates out of beta testing and onto the live site before I go back and fix up Skydive Secure's login model.  You may see persistant logins as quickly as a few weeks from now.
