In summary, the conversation revolved around a user experiencing difficulties with their PC constantly logging them off when trying to post on a forum. Despite suggestions and attempts to fix the issue, it continued to persist. The conversation then shifted to discussing the function of quoting in forum posts.

Hi!

Does anyone else have this problem or is there something wrong with the PC's at my campus...

Everytime I click on a link on the PF website, my user details reset and I can't post again until I login AGAIN! It's getting a bit annoying!

Any help??

Thanks for the suggestion - I conatacted my system admin BUT I still got the problem.

It seems that my PC logs me off on every new screen when I log in a don't check the box that says "remember me." I can post fine when I check it and log on but...SECURITY! I use computers at varsity which are public computers and I'd rather not check that box! Any help??

Even if you click the "remember me" button, clicking the "logout" button removes all your cookies. It won't remember you after you explicitly log out.

Cascading quotes

The only text not captured by the quote button is text that was quoted in the message you are quoting. When you see me post cascading quotes, I had to assemble those by hand.
