Title: Logging in on Two Computers
Post by: Richard Madison on August 05, 2009, 13:22:29
Hi:

I'm a Full Member and access the website from a home computer and an office computer (both using Win XP and IE 7, cookies are allowed.)

The Home computer recognizes me every time I go to the site. Even if I close the Browser or re-start the computer, the site still knows me and I do not have to log in.

When using the office computer, the site does not regognize me even if I check Stay Logged in Forever. I must log in just about every time I access the site even if I do not restart the computer.

How can I avoid having to log in when using the office computer?

Thanks,

Richard M, NYC

Richard,

I use the site from multiple computers and never have to log in from any of them. Many companies however use modified installations of programs (such as Internet explorer) that delete cookies and browsing history after closing the application, for security reasons.

E.g. in Tools / Internet Options / Advanced there is a setting called "Empty Temporary Internet Folder when Browser is Closed". In certain company installations that may be switched on and not controllable by the user.

The short answer is that you'll just have to log in again.

When using IE, my computer at work logs me out automatically -- (while my home computer stays logged in)... However, if I run Firefox at work its keeps me logged on continuously. I like Firefox better anyway.

While on the subject of computers, is it possible to have the program that we all go to to read the postings list the postings with the last posting on the top so it is easier to review the site without scrolling down to see the latest one?  Long sentence!!

Mike ???

Yes, you can view the last posting on top of the thread.
Go to "Profile" and in the left window you'll see: "Modify Profile". Underneath is "Look and layout preferences". Select what you like!

...and there select "Most recent posts at the top..."

If you then use the "Show unread posts since last visit" link at the top right of the screen you have a very quick way of finding all new posts and reading them quickly from the top of the screen down!
