sign-in redirecting to main

RekindlePhoto 6 May 2008 17:50
Isn't there a way when logging in to go directly into the main site without going to a blank screen that says login successful ... directing to main. The first login screen looks great then it takes you to a non-descript screen and then with a kinda long delay the P5 page is found. Just a image kinda thing.
Thanks, Don

OOppppsss, just a suggestion and may not be possible. I see that ya'll have changed my sign-in somwhat by the new message. It wasn't bad I just thought for the sake of adding more color or pizzazz a splash screen of somekind could be visible while the sign-in link is fully activated. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. Nothing really wrong, just an idea.
Thanks,
Don

I actually did a nice ajax solution, completely having forgotten that ajax cannot be done to another server (a request to an encrypted page from an unencrypted page counts as this). So I had to reverse that fix.

We'll make the "login ok, redirecting page" look like any of the others instead. Technically, the problem here is that this page will load slower than the old "login ok" page since it will be a full blown page. The long delay is due to caching not being shared by encrypted / unencrypted version so javascripts and icon images have to be reloaded.

Given that everyones uses wifi, we want to do the encryption thing correctly. Some browsers seem to get confused when mixing encrypted and unencrypted requests on a web-page, so I'm not sure the best thing is to always load encrypted javascript and image files.

Sorry for the verbosity - this question is unfortunately slightly trickier than it looks...

This security model is stupid anyway, someone wanting to send secret info could just
