kannie Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Is there a best way to log out of the forum? Do you always press the log out button, or do you just close the window down or move onto another site? I'm not getting notifications of new posts on topics I'm watching again, and I think it may be due to the way I log out. I hate it when this happens as I cant remember what conversations I was watching or taking part in last time! And sometimes when I click on the 'view posts since your last visit' button, it comes up with nothing! And I can see thats not true! Drives me crazy!!! Am I doing something wrong? Does this happen to you too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi Christine, I never log out and just move from site to site. I have the world's longest and most complicated password so not having to log in all the time saves my diminishing brain matter from anything too taxing! Sometimes the notify me of replies doesn't work for me either as I've got the "Problems logging in/registering" topics marked for notifications and I often don't receive them. I think it may be a glitch in the forum somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I log out Kate, but when I log in again my password is remembered automatically for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Is that something your computer does though because I've switched off the option to save passwords on mine for security reasons. My computer used to put up a box at each new site which said "remember password" and I say NO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'm not sure Kate, I didn't set this one up but I think this is the only password it remembers for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I log out by clicking on the box at the top, but even though I tick the remember password box I still have to log in properly each time Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I never log out I sometimes get notifications and sometimes not it depends on which IT geek has been playing with the spam filter I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I never log out.....um, is there a good reason why I should log out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I never log out either. Saves having to log in everytime. If it was something like internet banking I would, but the forum is harmless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I never log out of the forum, but then both the PCs I use are password protected just to get onto them. I always have prolems if I try to log onto the forum from another machine; it won't acept my username or password, so I always get onto it either by one of the emails or by a link I have saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken on a mission Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I tend to have a few exlorer windows on the go at any one time. The forum and eBay seem to be open permanantly Sometimes I shut the windows down only to open them back up minutes late usually I never ever log out I just shut the window if anything. My laptop is always left on too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I log out properly so my Mum and Dad can't come on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Oh! So I'm not the only one not logging out properly! You see now I havent had a notification since 3rd, & I looked on the 3rd. There have been loads of posts since then but the system didnt tell me! Its a real pain trying to remember where I was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Could be a technical glitch. If I view posts, close down web browser and start it again I will lose the new post signs even if I haven't viewed them. Are you clicking on "watch this topic for replies" at the bottom of the posts you are looking at? I don't think you wil get an email otherwise On your profile have you clicked on "yes" for: Always notify me of replies: Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post. I find I spend so much time on the forum I'll see replies a lot quicker than new emails I only just realised this week that the topic with the newest reply is always at the top, so the thread will move up if people are replying to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Yes - I have all the right boxes ticked! Sometimes it works for a few days, then it changes its mind and doesn't for a while!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I brought all this up with grd once, as I would sometimes get 3 or 4 emails for one post or PM. I think it's a problem in the coding of the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'll mention it to him again next time we speak, but he's really busy with work and stuff at the moment, so not on the forum or emailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
