Dave, - Then.........what ?
You seem to like logging in very regularly because you can, good for you.
No more haste to reply there than you, just as and when, and when the system allows me, and although you point out your problem was years ago, why mention it again when it was solved. I was replying to your most recent post going by dates. Some problems still exist that may not relate to those problems !
With reference to Bob's comment asking if it was going to be an on going requirement clearing browsing history all the time, surely admin/Crispin would be the one to answer that, having been involved in setting up/running the system, regardless of where on forum it was posted
Anyone else's answer is just a guess ??
Emoji are just an expression and can lead to frustration rather than anger, when a forum has problems that consistantly crop up. Its enough to make anyone want to tear their hair out, and I for one, have not got enough to waste it.
Unless you constantly/periodically experience this you wouldnt know, as you are sorted.
Surely the point of a forum is for members to be able to participate when they choose, not as or when the system chooses to function properly and let them, not "leave it a couple of days then try again/leave alone for a few days, then you would not be so angry/ it will get sorted"(your answers, not admin, unless you are part of it now ? Not helpful when the system still doesn't work properly for some.
Your comments are duly noted, and thank you for your expert advice.
You see there you go again, you must read and understand before replying, or perhaps it is my fault for not making it clear? I will reply again to you as clearly as possible in separate paragraphs to help, it's the least I can do, I promise no joined up writing.
Yes I closed the post with 'then.............' It was not aimed at anyone in particular just pointing out that it is not a life and death crisis if you, me, Bob or anyone else cannot log on to this site or any other for that matter, and if you get the feeling of doom and gloom and the world is coming to an end, then you can leave, go elsewhere or perhaps need to get a life! I was trying to be polite and I thought ending the sentence as I did was obvious, but now I have explained it to you I hope you understand?
Yes you are correct, I do not presently have issues logging in but initially did, and once 'in' I thought I could help Bob or others others by mentioning something I did that might help........oh wait I did, by pointing out that clearing the 'stay logged in' box allowed me to log in without further issues, and later in the thread another idea pointing out that having the browser clear cookies/history as Bob or anyone else closes (remembering Bob's method) may allow him to log in the next time around a little easier was another idea, it may or may not have helped but is way more conducive than I can see in your contributions to this thread thus far.
You asked why I mentioned I contacted admin direct years ago so why mention it again? Well the answer really was in the same sentence which you seemed to have missed, please read again my first sentence in this post.
Re haste in replying, I log in and reply as and when I feel like it, but my posts I hope are helpful if not why would I bother, I like to think my replies/input is of value, even this post may have some value.....but not much I admit to others.......think about it now.
Bob's question about clearing his browser history every time he logged in (on an open forum) yes Crispin and or his team may or may not read it however, contacting admin (or having someone else do it as Bob did) worked, pop back a couple of paragraphs and read again.
Re Emoji, Have a quick look at the Emoji, you will see it is listed as 'Anger/screaming' despite already knowing what it meant I did check though (did you?) and I was right however, I guess it could be seen/taken as frustration, happy to meet you halfway here though.....you know a compromise?
Re 'Unless you constantly/periodically experience this you wouldnt know, as you are sorted.' (Copied and pasted that) Your right but if the issue was not sorted despite various efforts then........... Got it?
Re 'Surely the point of a forum is for members of a forum is for members to be able to participate when they choose, not as or when the system chooses to function properly and let them, not "leave it a couple of days then try again/leave alone for a few days, then you would not be so angry/ it will get sorted"(your answers, not admin, unless you are part of it now ? Not helpful when the system still doesn't work properly for some. (Copied and pasted this as well.)
Your sort of right.......to a point however, the forum is free, it costs nothing to join......nada....zip....gratis...... (means you don't pay), if it does not work and despite all efforts to get it to work fail and perhaps leaving it a couple of days and perhaps even longer and still no joy, and seeing as there does not appear to be a collar and chain then....................... Got it yet?
I have mentioned, technology changes every day, note the different results from different browsers posted by other members, some may have issues accessing sites with one browser and not another for example, so this is not an isolated incident, having spent considerable time in IT I am all too aware of problems that suddenly arise with no apparent cause, and of course recognise those problems can be difficult to resolve, I used my own experience with this site as an example, and only returning when the platform was changed, personally I still would prefer to let the team get on with it, I doubt they are sitting on their back sides thinking about their up and coming holidays, these things can take time, and I am quite happy to give that time or of course I have the option to......well you know the answer to that.
Now to my apology.
This post is full of explanations and reasons for my posts and I am sure you will appreciate that. It is also full of sarcasm (apparently the lowest form of wit) but, it is only being used as a posture in reply to your own posts which were not bereft of the same, but also with a little fun (remember that?) and no offense should it be taken or was intended.
Stay safe.
Regards
Dave
