Re: This site is so WACKY!!!!

[ Edited ]

 

i was prompted for new user/password creds a few weeks ago on a WIN VISTA desktop using IE.

 

i just quit out of the screen and tried again later.

 

i have my laptop back up and use Mozilla (FireFox) exclusively.

 

 IE is very buggy for me.

Re: This site is so WACKY!!!!

Three times, I was asked for my password and it kept welcoming me back and asking for the password again. So I just gave up, left that page, and went to the forums site again (Blogs and Forums link) ... and drumroll..... I was signed in. So I was signed in(probably after the first time of entering the PW) but I couldn't get from that page to the forums.

Perhaps these problems are limited to the tech devices?


 

Do you mean mobile devices? Everything that accesses the internet is a technology device. I do think the site has many more issues with mobile devices than desktop/laptop computers.

I don't have a problem signing in, but the last few days, when I click on a thread I've already read it takes me to the OP.  It used to take me to the first new post in the thread.  I've looked at everything under "Preferences" and "Settings" and I can't find that option anywhere.  I don't know how it would have gotten changed.  Can someone tell me where that setting is lol  (Yes, I make sure I'm logged in.). TIA

 

Edited to say that I found the setting.  It was still set the way I wanted, just not always working.  Oh, well.

Re: This site is so WACKY!!!!

I've had trouble signing on numerous times.  It just keeps bringing up the user name/password screen over and over, so I go in through the back door and sign in on the CS screen.  Then I'm fine.  I'm on a tablet.

In some circles this is called an "Upgrade/Improvement". During my many years here I've seen a whole lot of them and this latest one is far and away the worst.

 

Anyone notice how many fewer people post on this Bulletin Board and/or this particular forum since the latest change? I know 4 personally that no longer post here because they do not want to spend their time trying to figure out a new "software/hardware" program.

 

I pretty much stick with the things I know how to do here now and will leave it at that. I too could not get my original "nic" the way I had it for close to 14 years before this change. So far I haven't had to change it again, but if I do?

 

Guess if I want to keep posting here I will have to comply. Sorry you are having these issues, but I am not surprised.

This has happened to me a couple of times, too.
