Problems with the forum
I have noticed two problems with the forum. One of them everyone seems to be having, the other may be peculiar to Foamfollower 1013 and myself.
1) The forum doesn't log you in unless you click the box next to "Log me in automatically each time I visit this forum." (I may not have the exact wording right.
It seems to log you in, and even showed me my private message mailbox, but when I look at the "login/logout" icon at the top of the forum it shows me as "not logged in," and when I post my post comes up as "Anonymous" instead of "MsMary."
I know that others have had this problem, because I have seen other "Anonymous" posts where the member expressed surprise at having been logged in as "Anonymous."
2) Foamfollower 1013 and I log in from the same computer. On several occasions, I have been unable to logout Foamfollower 1013 in order to log in as MsMary. I don't know if Foamy has had this problem in the reverse direction.
Today, I had to delete all my cookies in order to log in at the board. I don't have this problem at any other forum, even though my son and daughter and I log in at the same forums under multiple different names.
I just wanted to bring these problems to light. I don't know if anything can be done to fix them.

Log In Problems
Can't seem to duplicate your problem, MMM. I know that when I try to post, and I am not logged in, it asks me to log in. Usually though, the forum remembers me. I am not good at solving those kinds of problems; just make sure you see your name as logged in in the upper right hand part of the screen: your name should be in brackets next to "logout."
"Do you have a wife?"
"At one time."
"What happened to her?"
"She has been dead."
"How long ago did she die?"
"Two thousand years."
"At one time."
"What happened to her?"
"She has been dead."
"How long ago did she die?"
"Two thousand years."

Many people do have that problem
I don't and I think it's because once I hit that function--always log me in--it does! So I have never had 2 reregister. The prob may b this: I think this forum recognizes my email address every time I show up--If u guys have more than one email address, or more than 1 internet server--the poor thing gets very confused...
fall far and well Pilots!

You're doing a great job, Vain. I have a similar problem at my forum (with regards to having to log in), and I have just upgraded to the newest version. I don't think it's a problem with emails or two service providers (I can only afford one). I think it's a cookie problem at my forum. This forum always recognizes me! Thanks again.
