I would complain also and probably wouldnt use the site. What is the reasoning for this "preventing of sharing information"? Users will do as they please and all you can do is tell them not to.

They say if person A has a sub and has friends B and C, then person A will give his login info to B and C and we lose out on 2 subscriptions. So they want a way to stop that.
I'm with you though, seems like a waste of time to me.

Save the IP address they are using for each login, and display it to the user somewhere (so they are aware of the logging). Inform the users that sharing accounts is ground for cancelling accounts without refund.
Normally a user would log in from one or two places. The first three bytes of the IP address is usually constant for a location, but the last may vary if they have a dynamically assigned IP addresses.
You should quite easily see if some account is accessed from a lot of places, and then you can investigate further where they are located. If a user is logging in from Australia and then ten minutes later from Finland, it's clearly not the same physical person.

Thank you for the idea, I'll put this on the list of possible options.

I would also complain about this method and not use your site. What are the security procedures around storing the credit card numbers? Do you use SSL at the login? How much are the subscriptions worth as compared to being sued out of existence when the database gets hacked and the numbers are grabbed?

Yes, I realize this is dumb. The sub is $180/year and it was a victory just to try and get anything except the credit card. It uses SSL, how its stored, I don't know I didn't make the authentication method nor do I have access to that DB. Now enough about how terrible it is now, I know it is that is why I'm trying to get it changed, but they just have to have some thing to prevent login sharing (which I think is a waste of time).

Has anybody seen C#/.NET code for message boards to use on a web page?
|

The CP boards are open source.

I did. Free usually means unsecure. .NET should come with a message board API.

Thanks. I looked through them. I see you can purchase or get free message boards. Now, I am wondering if .NET comes with an API for making message boards, so I can customize on my own.

Hello,
We have many web applications on our web server (Windows 2003 IIS 6.0).
We would like to have one solution to handle all web application errors:
- Redirect to general error website
- Send e-mail alert to server admin
We do not have access to source code of all our web applications (ASP.NET), so we cannot always handle errors in source code.
Do you know any good solution for this scenario?
One of our ideas was to set custom error section in web.config files, and redirect users to ASP.NET web application.
This application has to display user-friendly message and send email.
The problem is that such web page is potentially security hole!
Anyone can access such page and generate hundreds of email messages.
Maybe is it workaround for this?
Thanks!
Wojtek

You can easily deal with certain errors based on the the server error such as 404, 401, 301, whatever. Other than that, you will have to mess with source code in order to know the type of exception unless you are using .NET 2.0 which has that capability built into the web.config.

Well you could use a frame, but that wouldn't work if you are doing this for SEO. Can you tell me if they are all on the same server or not.

All of my sites are for SEO and target contextual searches. All of the static sites have the same structure but with different text, the texted that is changed is the keywords.
So every time i create a new site i have to update all the other static websites (LINKS PAGE) with the new websites url... YUK!
I write c#, and vb (I created all the SEO sites with the new MS Web Expressions) and thought that I could just throw some program togeather and loop directorys then locate the links page(for each static content site has the same NAME links page) but after thinking about it i feel that it was better to ask first before i waist my time.. 
How do you suggest that i manage this content?

right now i only have iis on the server; however, i can add support for php if you tell me where to look?
I am learning right now(the server world)but i am by no mean in the dark. What i am saying is that i just have a little server here at my home office that i am learning with and will move to the big boys some time around Nov. or Dec.
What do i need to do to add PHP support?

You will need PHP (http://php.net[^]). Install that and tell me when it is setup. I will help you to build something.
