Server Issues, Etc

[thrall]

Well, on some screens relogging in helps and on some it doesn't. When I'm posting to a thread, USUALLY relogging in helps - it doesn't take me back to what I was doing, it takes me to a blank screen but I can hit the back button until I get to my post again. On PMs, though, after I log in and try to backtrack it just takes me back to the you are not logged in screen.

I try to remember to copy my text before I post, but because this only happens for long posts and not for short ones, it's just hard to remember!

Thrall, I'm not too computer savvy. Could you please explain about the two screens in more detail? I'd really like to try that.

Thanks for everyone's help.

ok...let me try....

you log into the forum...at the bottom there is an area that shows everyone who is on line...

click on the part at the upper left of that area that says "currently active users"...it will take you to a screen that shows you who is on line and what they are looking at...

shrink this screen...so its open and running...

now..open a "second" library window...you should already be logged in ........use this second library window to use the forum, PM system, and chat....


let us all know how it works for you hun.....hugs....i hope that helps.....

thrall,
You can also get to that page by clicking on "Who's Online" (last item in the "Quick Links" pulldown menu which is the 2nd button from the right at the top of the page on the main menu bar). This was the only way I knew to get there till you told us your way. But, do you think (or know) if it will work the same way as using your directions? I too have a lot of trouble losing what I've written.

Another thing I've been doing lately which seems to help ('cause I didn't know the second window thing either, Rachel) is to periodically shrink the window I'm working in down to the taskbar, then bring it right back up again. This seems to act like a refresh that starts the time over again. I haven't paid any attention to whether this differentiates on pms/posts/etc.
This is probably the thing to try if you've forgotten to open that second window-----which I will do.
