I currently have this module installed and am using the frame option. Using IE7, the module seems to work okay, with the following exception:

1) When posting, the page refresh causes the frame to shrink until the entire page reloads...then the whole page is displayed normally.

Also, the module does not work properly with the latest versions of the following browsers: Firefox, Opera and Safari.

Here are the issues with those browsers:

1) Hidden authentication does not appear to work. If I login to Drupal, it does not synchronize with the forums for any of the browsers mentioned. I have to login to the forum manually.

2) The frames are not displayed the same as in IE7. In IE7, the whole frame is displayed with no need to scroll up/down or left/right. All other browsers display the frame at a set length, so a user has to use the scroll bar within the frame to navigate up and down within the forum.

3) When logging out of the Drupal site, a user gets redirected to an Access Denied page...stating they are not authorized to view the page. Upon logout, they should be redirected to the homepage...regardless if they are logged into the forum or not.

If these issues have already been addressed for this mod and its integration into Drupal 6.2, then I'd appreciate anyone directing me to the patches for the issues I've described above.

This is a great mod, and I know I'm using it at my own risk on a live production site...however, vb...you need to make sure this mod works for all browsers before taking it out of development.

I look forward to a response regarding these issues with Drupal 6.2 installed.

>Hidden authentication does not appear to work.
You simple does not setup something properly or not cleared.

1. You should pass the authentication test.
2. Hidden authentication block must be enabled.
3. Admin Performance disable Block cache, Clear cache data
4. Logout, Clear qookie, sessions cache in drupal, browser, and temp files in IE7

2) I see your and my site without vertical scrollbars in Firefox

3) When logging out of the Drupal site, a user gets redirected to an
Access Denied page
I will think about this in next releases.

1) I do.
2) It is.
3) Done and Done.

Authentication now works for Firefox. Haven't checked Opera or Safari, as of yet.

No scrolling now in Firefox, since I increased the frame height in the smfforum settings. I'll have to look into this a little further, though...since I do want to include some of the blocks that come with this mod.

Access denied problem still exists, though. I look forward to a patch for this issue.

Thanks, vb!
