invisible unread pms

Posted by Bozebo on Oct. 18, 2006, 5:56 a.m.

Dunno why im making a blog for it… but it's saying i have 5 unread pms ut i dont have any… i got 6 notices caus i was tracking a game and i read one and deleted the rest, it still says i have 5 unread though…

In other news I am going to start work on a big PHP / GM project in which i will use my site top host people's gm highscore lists. I could normally make it easilly bit this is annoying because the users have to be able to set their own encryption algorythms and u dunno wether to let them enter it into a text box or what… caus it could bugger up if i made it like that etc.

Something like that happened to me once… it said I had about 600 unread PMs, and then a minute later it was back to normal. Weird.

You can use DES encryption, but you need to know your math to set it up. DES is totally secure if N is at least 10^308, and it can do everything automatically, with no user input.

You do need to know your math, or read a good book/article on it.

This happened to me. Simply clear out the trash folder in the PM area, its on the left and down a bit.

its been about a day and a half and it still says 5 unread. i am guessing it reads the ones in the db with read equaling false, and i only read one. also i think its not actually deleted, its only hidden. which if so violates the data protection act 1998… if its not mentioned that "deleted" data still resides

You said you wanted to encrypt the connection. DES is a secure method of public key exchange.

oooh that… im not on about it like that… i dunno how to make that work anyway, im thinking like: for integers

the php file would get (for example)

?name=bob&score=37226&enc=48972657&gid=81

so it performs the same obscure calculation to score in order to recieve enc, if not then its invalid. so basically the person making the game will have to choose a calculation or make on themselves… eg: trim(sine(score*19+666),7)

(trim,x,7 trims to 7 significant figures)

but the user has to choose it which makes it difficult…

Whenever this happens, it's always the trash… Hmm… I'll go check your inbox.

Odd, you have nothing. Send me a screenshot or something.
