Ok! What's going on here? I have been trying to reply to a message posted here and twice my post did NOT get posted. I have replied to messages before, without this problem. L8R.... Also, and this may be a hint, when I go to post, the system asks me to login even though I am already logged in. L8R again.... --- <p>Rick A. - BOINCing right along now....</p> |

I think I will also change my modem setting so that it won't turn itself off every 5 minutes. Thanks.... L8R.... --- <p>Rick A. - BOINCing right along now....</p> |

Hey Paul, it didn't work. I logged off and reset my modem to not shut down. Then I logged back in here and left my reply and it still asked me to log in and did not post my reply. Do you know if there is a size limit to a post? There's one post with a giant picture of the Fuehrer of Microsoft, so that tells me there is no limit since graphics are huge amounts of data.

L8R.... Silly question ... You did check the "Remember Account ID" box when you logged in? I think there's a limit on the size of an image based on the height (in pixels) - not too sure on that one. EDIT: Ah! - I think there may be something amiss in Boincland - I have the opposite, I can't log out. Logout, exit the browser, restart go to Your Account and I'm still logged in. Just been playing - this is the login cookie: |

I just copy my ID from the e-mail I got from BOINC containing it and paste it in the login box. Which reminds me.... Why such an oddball ID? It's virtually impossible to remember. I'd change it if I could, just like with the "Classic" SETI. L8R.... --- <p>Rick A. - BOINCing right along now....</p> |

I just checked to make sure - Yes "Content" is your validation code. Can close the browser and manually change the contents of the cookie? -- <p>Regards, Paul - Just slowly BOINCing along...</p> |

Hmmmm.... I figure that the validation code is somehow checked against the account ID to make sure I'm who I am. Hmmmm.... But, why does it not get cleared when you log out? You'd think that that would be a security concern. Hmmmm.... Hey, gotta go take care of some business (away from my PC). Can't spend all my time here when I have other things to do. Be back in a while.... L8R.... --- <p>Rick A. - BOINCing right along now....</p> |

Try DELETEING the cookie with the bad info... THEN try logging back in. ------------ KWSN-MajorKong KWSN Forum Admin (retired) http://www.kwsnforum.com BOINC Beta tester Member of the 'Magnificent 7' |

Hey Paul, I just looked at my validation code and it just happens to be different than the one this morning. Hmmmmm.... L8R.... --- <p>Rick A. - BOINCing right along now....</p> |
