I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Mathair & Athair beo.

This board is sharp. For good colour schemes and buttons check out Charmed's Cafe

For eg, we can mute the colours here slightly...more men here :-)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

But does PF get locked when we aren't there? When we are here instead? 'Cause if so, someone should lock it up since the doors are wide open.

AFAIK, the only person who can lock or unlock threads at PF is Lance, which means we'd have to bug him to open up everytime we have an outage.

When I close the Windows window this board is in am I automatically logged out? When I come back I have to relog despite never having unlogged. I wouldn't expect to have to log back in unless I've actually been logged out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Zoe, do you have Remember you? checked in your profile? And you have cookies enabled? That should keep you logged in.

Kashi, go lean:

Thank you all for the thanks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If you want to stay logged in all the time, you have to make sure that the "yes" radio button under "Remember You?" on your Set Profile page is checked. Otherwise, your session expires when you close your browser window.

I think it's okay if the PF threads are open when we're not using them -- I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

Zoe, on the bottom of the "set profil"e page there's a "remember you?" option. Do you have "no" selected on this? If so, change it to "yes" and you shouldn't have to re-log in.

That's Step 1. On the other hand, if you already have "yes" selected there is probably some issue with cookies that I'm not technically qualified to advise you on!

Ta.

er, cookies?

OK so I KNOW you're not refering to home baking (unless you are) cookies are an OS function am I right?

Do I need to check in my computer, wait and I'll go and do that.

Edited for spelling and content.

OK, I'm actually in Control Panel here now...looking

OK, well there doesn't appear to be anything I can do about cookies from Control Panel except delete them or edit on a site by site basis. I reckon editing is unecessary because the defaults will be the correct setting. Unless otherwise stated so If they're NOT please say so.

Anyway I'm closing the Control Panel, now I would like to go back to having fun please.

Zoe, no, it sounds like you've done everything you need to do.

(Cookies, as I understand it, are little files your browser stores on your hard disk when you visit certain websites--for instance, they're the reason why Amazon.com knows who you are when you go back there, if you have an account there. I don't know why they're called "cookies.")
