Login problem.

[gsvol]

Recently it has become so that I need to log in each time I open a window to Volnation, sometimes if I leave my computer unattended for a short while, then I have to log on again when I click on a post or response.

In times past I might have to log in Monday morning if Freak had been working on the site on Sunday night but I would be good to go all week.

Now I have to log in repeatedly.

Someone mentioned checking something but I didn't catch it.

Talk slow and use simple terms, I grew up before TV was invented, no joke, I don't understand all that many computer terms.

Hard drive is going to the mailbox in a snow storm.

Micro chips are the little chips in the bottom of the bag after you eat the big chips.

Upload is what happens after you cut firewood.

Download is what you do with the wood when you get home.

Megahurtz is what happens if you stand too close when the download is taking place.

Modem is what we did to the hay fields last month.

There is probably a box I can check to keep me logged on but I don't know where to find it.

Next to where you type your username, click check box for "Remember Me."

Thanks, I've been doing that but it doesn't work.

Are you using private browsing in Firefox? Are your security settings turned up very high, such that you don't allow cookies?

Definitely sounds like a cookie issue.

Think Hans Solo.

This is the first, albeit weak, sign of the proliferation of technological singularity into VN. It doesn't want you to post anymore copy/paste jobs about 'moslems' so it logs you out everyday in an attempt to permanently block you. It just can't figure out how to stop you from logging back in.

VN will learn...

What level are you on?

Medium, Medium High, High... etc?

If you use Firefox:
Open Firefox
Hit Alt Key
Click Tools
Does it say "Start Private Browsing"
or does it say "Stop Private Browsing"


If you don't use Firefox or IE, tell me what browser you use.

Muslims are in charge of tech support. Surprised you didn't know that.

You mean a system in which the computer does
all the thinking so that the citizens never are
exposed to any thoughts that aren't politically
correct??

Don't they call that an "Idiocracy?"

We're getting there it would appear.

What if the computer malfunctions, as Hal did in
'2001?'

What if the citizens are divided into useful idiots
and expendable idiots as in soilent green?

Don't let me make you think outside your box.

Thanks, I tried but when I hit 'alt' no window came up.

Do you mean open the browser window and then hit 'alt?'

I faintly remember setting this computer on 'high' when
I first started using it, it is old as the hills.

I have a standby computer that I would already have
switched over to but when I hook it up and try to
access the internet, it won't recognize the modem.

Any thoughts on that??

On this one, even if I don't close the vn window but
just disconnect, when I reconnect to the internet, I
have to log on vn again and even if I don't disconnect
but just do something else for a while, I have to log
back on to vn again after about thirty minutes or so
even if I havn't closed the window.

As I said, I used to only have to log on vn the first of the
week and would stay logged on all week and I havn't
changed anything on my computer.

Yes, open the browser, and then hit the alt key. If you are using a newer version of firefox or internet explorer, you should see, right below the title bar, several dropdown menu items such as "File, Edit, Bookmarks, Tools" or the like.

If you already see such, click Tools, then Options, then follow the above same as before.

Modem... as in dial up?

Dial up is the only thing available here escept
overpriced satelite.

Actually this piece of junk has '98.

I tried your suggestion but didn't get the drop down
menu.

If you go into the control panel and click internet options, is there a box checked that says delete browsing history on exit? If so, uncheck it.

Did gsvol just call Freak an idiot?
