BUG FIX

[Fugly]

Some of you have had a problem logging in to the forums. The problem was that PHPBB writes a session key to a table in mysql called 'sessions_keys'. The way the board script is written, there is a file called 'constants' that gets included in every page. This makes it easier for the people who write the software to remember what all the MySQL table names are. So they can write sql statements like 'insert into SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE blah blah blah' The SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE is defined in this 'constants' file so they never have to remember what it's called. The problem was, the SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE was not defined so when mysql looked for SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE, it really looked for SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE and not for the definition of SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE, which is actually 'sessions_keys'.

If anyone wants to be really nerdy and report this as a bug to the people who maintain PHPBB, you might score some brownie points.

Anyways, it should be working now.

I'm much better now that You, Smanatha, and Grim have popped back in. Feels like old times. Nursey has been slacking lately. See if you can provoke her into posting something.
