Why did I suddenly have to type in user name and pw??
Sunriverose | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:42 am     It has been more than a year since I joined, good thing I could remember my user and pw. I tried to post a comment on a thread and it wouldn't let me, saying my user/pw were invalid. Do I need to do something to restore my stored info? Do I need to save a new url in my favs? |
Sunriverose | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:45 am     P.S. I know this might be a tech Q, but no one has been there for hours. (at least not the last time I checked.) Now I am ready to post this, and lo and behold, my username and pw are showing in the boxes. I'm sooooo confused. |

Kapow | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:50 am     Well, I have not been able to get to the board all night until now.... anyone else? I have not had to type my password, though. |
Whit4you | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 02:54 am     That's assuming this board exisist and this isn't just a part of Rod's fantasy world where everyone and eerything is about him including all posts on this "board". |
Kady | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:36 am     Kapow, I am still not able to get on the board the right way. My hubby figured out a way for me to get here through a site called anonymouse. He said it was called going in through the back door. I can't use the new message feature and the pages are loading slow. I am on Road Runner and called them and they said the problem is on the server's end. I'm hoping whatever the problem is, it will straighten itself out.  |
Bladewelder | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:38 am     I always have to type my name and password every time I post a message. You mean everyone else doesn't??? What am I doing wrong?? Heeelllppp!! |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:41 am     Blade -- I did too until I went under the 'profile' menu at the top and set some preferences. Now my screename/password are auto-filled-in for me when I post (oh the power of cookies). |
Bladewelder | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:48 am     Ellenkats - Thanks so much!! |
Allyg8r | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:51 am     Ellenkats - Thanks from me too!!!!

Bernie | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 03:08 pm     That's triplethanks, Ellenkats! Three years and I never knew that-I feel like a dork  |
Bernie | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:10 pm     I still feel like a dork! I went and made some changes, but after leaving the site and coming back, it's still not working for me. What exactly did you do, Ellenkats, pretty please? |
Wargod | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:24 pm     Bernie, when you go to profile, click on preferences. The first box down should say: Remember my username and password in a cookie. You want to check that, leave the next one blank, then click on the save information button at the bottom. That should save your nick and password for you! Hope that helps. |
Moedog | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:24 pm     Bernie, if I remember correctly, you have to set the preferences for one group, save your choices, go back to the next group and save them, etc. |
Gwenjy | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:26 pm     That worked for me, I was having the same thing and I went in and saved the info and now my username and password show at the end of this for me! Thanks to all!! |
Bernie | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:28 pm     Wargod, and Moedog - THANK YOU BOTH! I forgot about that save thingie, doh! I keep proving what a computer idiot I am every day, LOL! |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:28 pm     Bernie -- do you have cookies allowed? |
Cathie | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:33 pm     It happened to me the other night after TVCH changed servers. I had posted for the past couple of years w/o having to enter the ID and password and suddenly had to every time. Ellenkats was very helpful to remind me of the Profile settings, and it's nice to see she is still performing good deeds |
Moedog | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:36 pm     LOL! You're most welcome. The only reason I could help was that I tried to amend my profile, preferences, and change my password at the same time and found I had to do each separately... purely trial and error. You're definitely NOT alone. : ) |
Bernie | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:41 pm     I do NOW, Ellenkats !!! It was the 'save this info' that I always forgot about, so it never worked properly before. I obviously need a piece of string around my finger, but then, I wouldn't be able to type, LOL! Thank you again, you luvverly people - Hugs to all  |
Ryn | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 04:47 pm     It has to do with the new server - I have had to do it few times myself, give it a few days & all will be back to normal. I assume its because the "cookie" that you set to allow you NOT to enter your username/pw is not valid on the new server (different URL). anyways, I think you all figgured it out but wanted to confirm the guesses |
