I HATE Having to log in to read the forums

[Bill Kliewer]

Seems like a big waste to me. I understand allowing only registered members to post, but just to read the forums its a hassle to log in each time

Can you not leave your computer logged in? Or is it not a personal computer?

[MyFoot76541]

The staying logged in feature doesn't work for me. I am on IE8 on Vista Pro and everytime I close my browser I am logged out of everything.

[Scarlett]

WELL...I don't know what a IE8 is..haha. I am on a laptop with Windows Vista, and have no problems. Interesting.....here is what I do when I have a problem....

RICK!!!!!!!! FIX THIS!

[Army Sarge]

Internet Explorer 8

[CenTexDave]

Get rid of Internet Explorer and go to mozilla.org and download Mozilla Firefox. Better browser, more secure, faster. And it will remember all your passwords so you don't have to log in every time.

I had the same problem as myfoot on my Vista notebook. It would ask if I wanted to save the passwords, but it never did and that was on all the sites I visited.

I ended up creating a new username and it has been fine ever since.

If it is happening to a few and not everyone, it is not an issue with the board although, it may be a cookie issue.

Make sure your computer will accept them and then try clearing them, there may be some old ones left from the old software.

As for the issues that Mr. Kliewer, I apologize for the inconvenience. http://centextalk.com/vb/showpost.php?p=4508&postcount=6

That's what I use and I have no problems either.

To my chagrin, I cannot use Mozilla on this laptop. Whenever I come to a page that employs javascript in a secure environment, the entire OS locks up and I have to remove the battery and power cable in order to shut down the laptop. No CTR+ALT delete .... no power button shut off .... :crying :banghead

I will try Rick's suggestion to create a new user and operate under that.... :glug:

[CenTexDave]

Ain't Windows great?? Microsoft Works has to be one of the biggest oxymorons of all time.:banghead

[Rick]

I actually found the fix for it on Microsoft's website. Those morons should fix it instead of telling people to start over.

Just in case someone else has the same issue: To help myself in the matter of the locking OS while browsing with Firefox: Enable pop-up windows and the issue seems to be solved....

I wish I was as technically savvy as some of you guys....

I use the KISD issued MacBook (my only computer) and I have to log into read the posts. I assumed that you didn't want people who were not members to be able to read posts.

[CenTexTalk.com]

Yes, that is correct!
