log in problem

Quote: "FIOS connect via LAN; MacPro, OSX Yosemite, Firefox 32.0.3" I have no idea what this means! And probably explaining it will mean little to me or any other computerphobe.

My computer connects to the internet via Verizon FIOS, I don't use a Cable TV hookup or a dial up modem connection. Its not a PC computer using some version of Windows, its a MacPro desktop machine, and I'm using Yosemite (the latest version of the Mac operating system). Some folks use Internet Explorer, the Microsoft web browser. Firefox is the Web browser that started life as Netscape way back when. See - not so hard ... and yeah, I came to computers later in life ... but I am a geekie/techie/engineer kind of person ... I did radio station type electronics in College ...

and I was a physics major in college but have grown tired of science & technology* as in spite of it**, the world seems to be going to a certain hot place very rapidly .

*Can't keep up with it anymore - esp the older you get!

**Or maybe because of it?

P.S. I use an older second hand desktop (Windows xp) connected via AT&T by phone line - both give me trouble - sometimes its almost like being on dial up!

I really have no business operating a computer anymore then I would piloting a 767! ROTFTMHO

Anyway, since starting this thread, I don't (so far) "seem" to be having the same log in problem - did somebody do something??

That likely can give you brain cancer!

Then don't sell them, and don't use the little bluetooth earpiece!
and probably best to move to some quiet little island away from technologies and science!

But beware the trees - that pollen will probably kill you too!

Sell Fones That likely can give you brain cancer!

That likely can give you brain cancer!

This will probably be safe when / if it hits the market....

Interesting that my original inquiry (post #1) has not been answered.

[sonofagun]

And very funny, the problem is back now - is someone playing games here?

[sonofagun]

I was trying to come accross with some humility, not a know it all.

Vbulletin is the web fomat of this site, and many others like DIY audio. The virtual buttons can be configured for fuction as well as how they read. "Remember me" here is the same as "keep me logged" in on DIY.

I have not had to log in here or on DIY in months if not years on my iPhone, Win7 laptop, or any of my three Win10 desktops and I can read something here on this site on my phone while typing an answer on this site on a computer.

But if I were you, I wouldn't try it. It just may solve the problem, and what fun would that be?

Out!

"Remember me" sets a persistent cookie in addition to the normal session cookie. The normal sesson cookie allows you log in and browse, then goes away when you leave the site or log out. The persistent cookie will allow you to be automatically logged in the next time you visit, so long as you just close your browsing session and don't manually log out. But you need to have "accept cookies" enabled in your browser, some people don't like to accept cookies as the idea of cookies tracking them is unnerving.

Long story short - if you don't want to log in with every visit, the check "remember me" or never close your connection to the site.
