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?

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.

I log out Kate, but when I log in again my password is remembered automatically for me

[Mrs Frugal]

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!!

[Lesley-Jean]

I'm not sure Kate, I didn't set this one up but I think this is the only password it remembers for me.

[Karen & co.]

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

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

[Sheilaz]

I never log out.....um, is there a good reason why I should log out?

[Popcorn]

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

[The Dogmother]

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

I eat chocolate log. Does that count

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

It definalty does Mel, especially on the hips

 

I had some lemon cream log last night.....two slices infact

[Martin B]

I log out properly so my Mum and Dad can't come on here!

[kannie]

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!

[chocchick]

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

[kannie]

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!!

[kannie]

Now I've just checked my inbox & I've had 7 emails in the past half hour, after none since the 3rd!!

[The Dogmother]

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.

[Martin B]

That happens to me too Clare!

[The Dogmother]

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.

[Martin B]

Ok, thanks!
