New Posts

Is anyone having problems with the new posts being flagged? This is the only forum that I am having problems with. I have cookies turned on and have tried resetting my preferences, but it has not helped.

TheBluesMan · September 16, 2000, 10:25 PM

What do you mean by, "being flagged," Larry?

Do you mean that the yellow folders don't turn pink? Or that the Forum doesn't show that there are new posts since your last visit? (i.e. Crosshairs / Bullet holes)

A little more information and we can help you out, hopefully.

larry408 · September 17, 2000, 08:16 AM

Are I am showing is yellow flags. It is not listing the new post since my last log-on.

Manny99 · September 19, 2000, 06:35 AM

I'm also having a problem. My browser is set to receive all cookies, and I have set preferences to store the User Name and Password, but when I want to reply to a post I still have to enter my User Name and Password.

What is wrong?

Y'all might want to check your Internet Preferences settings. Make sure they are set to "every visit to a page".

To Gunslinger:

Where is "every visit to a page" found?

Go to your computer settings and click on internet settings and then go and click on settings and then click on everytime you visit the web page.

Sorry to be a pain about this, but exactly where do you get to the settings you mentioned? I'm using Netscape and can't find these settings anywhere.

Thanks.

No problem at all Manny.
Click on "start", then.....
Scroll up to "settings", then....
Click on "Control Panel", then...
Double click on "Internet Options", then..
Click in "Settings"....
You should see a list of options. Choose the top setting, "every visit to page".

I hope this works. We have to "reset" ours constantly while on line. But then I'm by now means a computer wise. In fact it is a miracle that I am even here.

Thanks, Gunslinger.

Unfortunately, that setting was checked so I guess I'll just have to memorize my password. Seems to be getting harder at my age.

Thanks, again.

The "Internet Settings" in the control panel doesn't affect the settings for Netscape, only Microsoft Internet Explorer.... I can't think right off hand where it is for netscape, but I'll let you know as soon as I can find it again.

Just change your password to something you can easily remember...
You only have to type it once per session.

TheBluesMan · September 20, 2000, 12:37 PM

For Netscape on a PC:

Click on the Edit menu, select Preferences...

In the preferences dialog box, click the '+' sign next to 'Advanced.'

Click on 'Cache'

Be sure that "Every Time" is selected under "Document in cache is compared to..."

Click 'OK'

That should do it.

Manny99 · September 20, 2000, 10:11 PM

OK, I'll try it and let you know.

Didn't work. Still have to enter User Name and Password. Thanks for taking the time.

To: George Hill
I give up trying to get this to work. How do I change my password? Thanks,
Manny

Manny, Click on the "profile" link, it's up near the TFL logo. It'll ask you for your name and current password. Enter taht, and hit the "ok" button ( I think that's what it says, but it may be "submit". The next page will be your profile. The password is the second line down, change it to whatever you want, change anything else that you feel like, then hit the "submit" button down at the bottom of the page. After that, it'll send you to the "Forum's Summary" page, and your password will be the new one.

Manny - IIRC, TFL (and all UBS software for that matter) uses a "cookie" stored by your browser to "remember" your password.

If you're still having problems, select the "preferences" link at the top of the page, and then click on the link that says "delete all cookies"

After that, try a test post. You'll be asked for your password. Thereafter, you shouldn't be prompted.

Cliff

Manny99 · September 21, 2000, 11:12 PM

OK, here's the test post

Manny99 · September 21, 2000, 11:17 PM

Cliff,

It worked partially. I have to re-enter the password & user name if I enter TFL after restarting Netscape.

Anyway, I did change the password, so this is not a big deal and not wort everybody's trying anymore.

Thanks for helping.

Manny
