Login or Register Problem with PF?

[dlgoff]

Is there a problem with PF? I keep getting login or register on every page I try to access.

Sincerely ... @dlgoff

Do you have any privacy addons? Sounds like your cookie is not holding.

Testing, testing...

I haven't changed anything. Maybe my browser chrome updated something that I'm not aware of.

Did you re-check "Stay logged in" when you logged in?

 

[dlgoff]

It was checked.

What do you suggest I do?

Try it on a different device.

Try it on a different device.

I only have my desktop computer.

I can't view the attachments you have been giving me. When I try to download them and try opening with paint, it says those files aren't supported.

edit: my browser is wanting me update chrome. You think I should do that?

I'm still using windows 7 and no other browser works on it. I refuse to go to windows 10, which I've tried, as it puts all kinds of crap on my PC and I start getting lots of unwanted phone calls.

Hi Don, I just replied again in our PM conversation about this, and converted the *.PNG file format (the default for the snipping tool I guess) to *.JPG. Try and see if you are able to see the screenshot now.

Now I can't find your reply with that image. Dang. Can you please resend it again?

I remember going through all those years ago and none of them worked on my PC. So I'm just going to stick with what I've got. Thanks anyway.

It should just be at the end of our PM conversation, but I'll attach it here as well. It shows the "toggle BB code" symbol "[ ]" that I mentioned, and the other icons are red in the screen capture because they are disabled...

I always thought that Windows 98 was the sweet spot.

@berkeman
I found the [ ] and when I click on it everything turns red and when I click on it again everything turns black again. So what does that mean?

Yes I remember Windows 98 and it was very good IMO.

You are toggling the functionality of the BB codes (whatever those are). So to be able to use the Greek Alphabet tool (the little Parthenon icon in the middle) or the Bullets/Numbering tool, the icons have to be black. If you want to see the formatting of stuff like the [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags (with no spaces), the icons have to be red. I was just wondering if some of the functionality problems you were seeing were because the BB Code toggle was the wrong way.

It's just way to hot here to worry about this any more. I'm just going to hope for the best. Thanks for your help @berkeman

Now I've got them all black. Don't know what that'll do. Keeping fingers crossed and going to try to stay cool.
