Website login changes

I'm sure you've all noticed that there is a bug in the Joomla-SMF bridge that causes your login status to expire.

As a temporary solution, I have disabled session synchronization between Joomla and SMF. This seems to remove this issue. However, this means that Joomla and SMF sessions are not guaranteed to be synchronized. You may find that you will have to login/logout of both sections instead of just one or the other. However, sessions won't prematurely expire and I believe the "remember me" feature will work, so it's well worth it.

The author of the bridge plugin is aware of the issue and intends to address it.

If you observe any undesirable issues as a result of this change, please advise myself or Shambler ASAP. Thanks!
