Yes, I think a lot of us are having the problem. It's probably a result of the server move followed by the move back. I hope that when Andy gets the server sorted out, these problems will go away. Realistically, we may be stuck with this problem until then.

RhapsodyBrat · #22 04-25-2006, 03:40 AM

i thought about that too, but i was thinking that things might have been sorted out already when we moved back to the old server. well, it's obvious we still have glitches.

thanks very much Elspeth!

And with "from elsewhere" you mean a second quote for example, don't you? Because then: nope. Not possible. Still not. :( And TRF are the only MB where I have this problem. I do not have the faintest idea why it's here, but nowhere else.

Andy and Moderators are doing a GREAT job! Thanks!!
My only problem is that I read slower than people post!
If I am checking out the "new posts" and there are 4 pages of messages, and I am only on page 1, 2, or 3 and someone posts a new message, I get that nasty message "Sorry, No matches...". So I lose out reading any new messages that have been posted since I last read posts. Until someone else posts to that thread. Of course sometimes I run across the new message while doing the forum search.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Have you tried just clicking on New Posts again after you get that message? That always re-shows the new threads since I last clicked on it, including the ones I had not read previously and ones posted while I was reading another thread.

just ignore it that's what I do, I don't post anything cause I prefer looking at pictures and find reading posts boring...no offence to anyone :o

I love pictures and this is a good site for them!

Sometime I have to go for several weeks or even months due to my job or holiday (lucky me mostly I still able to post a few thing), but once time I was not abble to use internet at all for two months because it is not available in the place I had to stayed for while (I got pm from moderator just to give my pasword incase I lost it and not able to sign up:) ). What should I do to avoid my membership being annule if in the future I will face the same situation (have to stay in no internet zone).

galuhcandrakirana, the only memberships "annulled" are those that have been inactive for at least a year or two. You have nothing to worry about. :)

Thanks warren..... glad to know about it.

I was looking for a thread where to post this question about getting log off so I guess this one is the closest one:
If I log in and I am reading for a while, the moment I want to refresh the screen or just reply I notice I've been logged off. Sometimes it happens as I am typing a post or if the Royal Forums window is open while I open another window to look up other news.
It's been like that for a few months so I got used to constantly log in as soon as I notice I've been logged out. Maybe one of our techs has an answer on how to remain logged in?

I use Explorer and Norton's Internet protection, but I checked the settings and could not find anything that relates to being logged off the forum automatically. Anyone has the same problem?

Avalon · #31 10-09-2006, 07:06 PM

I have that problem when I am using Public Computer. If you are using a private computer, click the 'remember me' button, and the problem will be solved (at least it was for me).

If you are using a Public cumputer, I guess you will just have to keep up with it, since I don't think it's safe to click the 'remember me' buttom on public Cumputer. Or you can click it, but don't forget to log off, after leaving the Forum.

Hope it helps.

Toledo · #32 10-10-2006, 12:11 AM

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow and let you know in this post. I log in with a laptop and some other times with the pc, depending on what room I'm in (we have several pc's in the home). Goodnight! (it's 11:12 pm, time to go for me)

It works...too well!

I shut down my laptop last night and today I turned in on and entered the Forum. I was already signed in. At least I was not logged off automatically. But tonight I'll make sure I log off the Forum completely instead of just closing the browser window and unplugging the battery.
Thanks Avalon!

Glad it works TOleado.

If you click 'remember me', then every time you enter the board, you are automatically logged in. That's why I told you to be careful to log off, when you use public computer, rather then simply closing the board.

Toledo · #35 10-14-2006, 09:02 PM

I noticed!

My laptop seems to be always connected automatically to the forum ever since I pressed the 'remember me' button.
My fault too because for three days I've been forgetting to log off, then log in again and uncheck it. Tonight when I log off I'll make sure the Remember me box is unchecked. Thanks for the advice though, at least now I am not being logged off the forum in the middle of reading or posting a message.

CasiraghiTrio · #36 10-13-2007, 12:44 PM

Why are there so many cliques on the forum and why do some members gang up on certain members for no reason?

It simple, you say something they dont like or dis-agree . I know its not too nice because your just giving an opinion but those are the reason imo

I don't care about that.... I just hate it when some members decide they want to insult me for no reason, because they decide they don't like me or where I come from or my attitude or something. So I guess there's just no solution. I'll just add them to the ignore list. No reason to even read their crap. It just demoralizes me.

**Marengo** · #39 10-13-2007, 08:12 PM

Well, if you feel that there are cliques here with coordinated ill behavior towards other members / yourself, please contact one of the moderators in a private message about that so we can look into it and see what we can do! It certainly is not a situation we want to have here, far from that!

Thomas Parkman · #40 10-14-2007, 04:05 PM

Well, good people, beat me, make me write bad checks, call me Cuthburt, call me Percy, call me Aethelred the Unready, call me anything, JUST CALL ME. Those sensitive souls here need not worry. At least nobody is ignoring you. Somebody must think that you are important enough to insult. Which is good. You have gotten under their skin.

As the Court Jester In Residence here I can proudly boast that on more than one occasion I have even roused the wrath of the moderators-the word AHEM was never more Jehovah like-irritated the members when trying to actually complement them and had certain of my more malodorous comments deleted. And I have survived and come back for more??? Am I sick, crazy or what? So do not worry. You are not alone. I too, sniffffff, am sensitive. Cheers.

PS. Having a sense of humour certainly helps.
