Set in control panel to set all members to use browse using cookies

How about setting in the control panel the option to forum wide, set member's to browse using cookies ?

UPDATE user SET nosessionhash=1

I actually changed it in upgrade1.php to DEFAULT '1' so the upgrade, to begin with, set all the users with nosessionhash=1.

It would be kind of nice if you could mass set things. ex, search for a group of users and apply the same setting change to all of them. This would probably be a major feature addition that would have to wait for a later release. An easy implementation of it to start would just be provide a direct interface to the UPDATE statement. Letting admins submit their own WHERE clause.

you can do that in phpMyAdmin.

The damage of someone doing something he doesn't know is equal in a vB interface or a phpMyAdmin interface. And, if you DO know what you're doing, then by all means you don't need vB to write you that interface :)

First off I don't run phpMyAdmin. Its just another application to be cracked. I come from the line of people that if it isn't needed then why run it. I have no reason to run phpMyAdmin, its an extra potential security risk I don't need. If something like this can be coded in to an application already being run then that is a better solution, in my opinion. But I have no problem using Ssh and getting on a MySQL shell and doing it, but its those out there that might not have access, or admins that want some people to have CP access but not direct access to the database, that would need it.

The reason there isn't a function to set this globally, is that you would declare your forum off-limits to everyone who didn't have cookies enables or were not able to use cookies.

On this subject, a phpmyadmin console inside the vb interface would really be quite useful, don't you think?

I released a hack a long time ago that added an iSQL box to the vBulletin control panel that people could use to run queries like these.. Same code works on vB2 as well.
