Problems with forum authentication

dba123

OK, maybe I can get some help here, this is a last resort. I know I'm asking
a lot by having you download and install this but it's really not that bad
and I've had it. Their support has sucked, documentation poor, application
doesn't work with authentication by what I can see, and they can't tell my
why their own script doesn't work.

I cannot get my custom .ascx page to work. What should happen is that the
test user I created (you'll see his information in the .ascx file) should
authenticate to FuseTalk's API using their code, allowing this user to submit
a topic to a global forum without logging into the forum. Remember to:

1) Create a forum with an owner that is not an admin user using their Admin UI
2) Create the exact test user as seen in my .ascx in the FuseTalk forum
using the Users section in the FuseTalk Admin
3) Set the forum Authentificatio n properties to use External
Authentificatio n by setting the dropdown to YES in the Authentificatio n tab
4) Ensure my loginglobal.asc x is in C:\Program Files\FuseTalk Inc\FuseTalk
..NET\Web\forum \modules\authen tication after you install FuseTalk. Take a
look at their login.ascx, it's a straight copy and tweak from that as they
told me this was fine to do.
5) You'll need to create 2 virtual directories, one called forum and the
other called globaladmin. The path to those in IIS should be \Program
Files\FuseTalk Inc\FuseTalk .NET\Web\forum and \Program Files\FuseTalk
Inc\FuseTalk .NET\Web\global admin respectively.

You have to install fusetalk first:

Check out my video here as it shows it's clearly not working for me:

Here's my .ascx code that I'm testing with; I stripped out everything and
just left in the part that should force an automatic authentificatio n on my
test user. This is a direct copy of their sample with a few simple tweaks,
and using hard coded strings to test out a user:

- sh$$ documentation on how to create the custom authentificatio n script

Pardon my French....but it's been a frustrating experience with this mom &
pop type forum shop that they seem to run.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
