To Anthony - Logging in/out question

Post by California Girl »

Anthony - When I logged in, I checked the box that says "keep me logged in". It makes it very easy to get in and out of the forum, but I'm wondering if I never log out, will it always show me as being online, even when I'm not? And how come I show up as being online on the index page, but not necessarily on the forum page where it shows "users browsing"? Sometimes I show up there, sometimes not. Hmmmm.... :roll:

I think it is a cookies issue, and depends on your browser cache. Some of those features are not exact and do seem a little buggy. If you stayed logged in but are not active I don't think it shows you as present though...

I don't get this. Every time I try to reply to a post it asks me to log in, even though when I first view the board it says that I am logged in. Drat.

What is your hardware/software set up? Are you using AOL?

Yes. We are using AOL (not my idea, the teenage kids insist on it for some reason). I wonder if I need to do someting with the cookies settings...as if I even know what I am talking about.

I need to look into this - I think there may be issues with AOL users...

Removing Accounts

Post by trptman »

Hi Anthony -

I had trouble logging on with my initial userid - probably because I initially created it with a wrong email address - I then created it using the same userid and the correct email address but it would never let me log in - even when I requested a password change. I since created a new account using a different email address. Would you please delete the two M & D accounts?

Thanks

Okay, I'm trying this from our AOL account at home. Unfortunately, it still makes me re-log in everytime I try to reply to a post. Oh bother.

I'm using a satellite dish, a Campbells Soup Can, and a string, and have absolutely no issues. :lol:

Pete do you have cookies turned off?? Maybe your cookies file is corrupt?

Anthony, you were right...it was a "cookie issue" on my end. Apparently, our security settings were filtering certain cookies. I changed it and all seems to be working well. Thanks for your help.
