The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Session variable loose values - is it IE settings?

Asked by moonrise in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: session, ie, variable

I wrote an web application using ASP - during the login process some values are retrieved from the database and stored in session variables. In some cases users of this application report a problem that tells me that the session variables have been set to null values. I know this is not because of a timeout because timeout is set to 45 min.

The last user who had that problem was told to reset the IE settings to Default (Advanced settings) and it fixed the problem. The following settings were changed as a result of resetting to default - this was not enough for me to recreate the problem:

Any idea what settings might have such an impact?

> "Enable Install On Demand (Internet Explorer)" - Originally unchecked,
> checked when set to defaults.
>
> "Just display the results in the main window" - Originally checked,
> unchecked when set to defaults.
>
> "Just go to the most likely site" - Originally unchecked, checked when
> set to defaults.
>
> "Warn if changing between secure and not secure mode" - Originally
> unchecked, checked when set to defaults.
