bar5 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Not a big deal whether it log in/log off, as long as everything else works. Like I said Dell does it to me also, so got use to it. Theirs started that after they did an update a few months ago. I figured they did it deliberately to log everyone off for whatever reason.Might be a good thing logging out automatically. When I give out a link to BT while still logged in, could a person click on the link, and still show me logged in, get my email and SPAM me to death? Just a thought!Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 When I give out a link to BT while still logged in, could a person click on the link, and still show me logged in, get my email and SPAM me to death?No. If you send a link while still logged in, the receiver will not be logged in as you if they click it.

Besttechie Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Matt is correct. If you send a link while logged in the person who clicks the link will not be logged in as you. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bar5 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I think my brain is working overtime. Thanks for the info. Just curious.Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Like Barb, it is no problem having to log in occasionally--it forces me to remember my password! (had to scratch my head for a while this last time! Any more time gone by, I would have forgotten it!)Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bar5 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey Liz:When you log in do you have box checked "remember me"? I do , and I don't have to remember password, thank heavens. Or if you are using the one on top right box "user name", just left click, a drop down window appears should say "blim" click it don't fill in password, just click "go" and it will log you in.Now I just came on and I'm still logged in from last night, but in a few hours it could log me off. Go figure No set pattern. Oh well. Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rv56 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Whoaaa.....just found this thread....LOL. Yup, everyone was in block list and I got it all fixed now. Added a few more also... Thanks for the heads up everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yup, Barb, I click "remember me" when I log in and what a great tip! I never knew about clicking that box. When I log in as Buckwheat (Son's account) I go through the motions of typing his name and password, now I won't have to play password roulette (he uses one of three different ones wherever he goes)Thanks!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bar5 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Glad it worked for you Liz. I tried it one day to see what would happen. I figured if it was wrong, it would just ask for correct password. Who knew??? Liz, here is a program that is very similiar to "Belarc Advisor" called "SIW" that will show everything that is on your computer, ie product key#'s, and which interest me also was it shows you all your user names and passwords that you use. After you install it, menu on left, scroll down until you see "secrets" voila there you have it. Here ya go:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/SIW.shtmlMost important it is FREE. No spyware or anything attached to it. Safe to D/L Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Oh, wow, Barb, and I know just the person to send that link to! He's on another board and keeps making new usernames (using his original name and adding a number---I think he's up to "10" now!) because he forgets his password when he's travelling out of town I'll tell him to use this and write his password on his hand! John will certainly thank you for this!!!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bar5 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Great little program. Glad you like it. The only ones on there will be ones that you have asked your computer to remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robroy Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 not sure why but I did find softpedia is listed in my HOSTS file, therefore must be something there I guess. may be a tracking cookie or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baker7 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I have a question for you all:How does one add a "friend" to the right side of your profile? I have tried this before, and added about 7 friends, including jeff, but when I go to friends in my profile, I see "no friends to display"Is there something that users have to do to get this working?? Other users have friends listed, and I don't - just wonderd ???Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen anyone yet that I would ignore, not even SuppyMark I have to agree that everyone here is a friend........I don't ignore many.....Even in my days as an IRC Server Operator, I RARELY ignored people - If I did, it was because our rules forbade staff from trying to settle personal disputes for people (User to User) Instead, we asked them to take it to /msg, or to a private channel - That way, we were free to handle server related stuff, and maintain order on the public channels.
