Jamey,

1) The bug

In function authenticate($rw) {} in locdb.inc, you do...

$q = "select password from subscriber where username='$auth_user'";

We really ought to be authenticating on email_address, not username.
I'm in the DB three times as username='ben' with different email
addresses. Consequently, I can only log into the portal as one of
these users.

2) The puzzle

Should we populate the subscriber_place table with places for the
rooms themselves so that the current session names appear for the
"room buddies" on the presence portal?
