Question about this forum's login

[BackRaw]

Hi,

I want to write an Android app for this forum to get me going with Android again. For that, I need to test logging in, so I have to ask if there is a login limit kind of thing here. For example if I log in and log out quick and back in again, would I get banned at some point? Or is there 'nothing to fear'?

Thanks for the info

I'm honestly not sure. I don't have time to look right now, maybe tomorrow night. If anything, if you do get banned, just message me on Steam or PM me on the ES forums (will probably notice sooner this way) and I'll un-ban you.

Alright, thanks. No rush, tho, because I'm not at the login part yet.

It worked and I'm not banned

However, I can't seem to grab the bb_sessionhash cookie which I believe is what keeps me logged in. On a PC I get these cookie headers as a response:

Using Android, I get 2 cookies, bb_lastactivity and bb_lastvisit. I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm using Jsoup to login... Do you know how I could work around that issue, because maybe the mobile site handles to cookies differently. Thanks

Note: The bb_sessionhash cookie doesn't contain any spaces. I needed to add them for them to be displayed.

Nevermind, figured it.
