Guys,
I've been having problems the past 1 1/2 months with this site. I've been working with Phil Herring @ SBO, and he's a great guy & very helpful.
Unfortunately, I wrote up a post to All Sailor's/America's Cup thread & when I clicked on posting, It gave me the dreaded login window again. It was an insightful reply I wanted to post but I failed to copy it just in case. I believe it's gone now. I was interrupted with a rather lengthy phone call, and wondered if I had timed out. If so, I've had SBO opened for long periods of time in the past with no activity, but this may a first for me. It's a shame as I felt my post was good.
Anyway, here's is a copy of my problems that I originally sent Phil. Has anyone else experienced these types of problems?
TO PHIL:
I use a PC. A week ago the problems appeared. Nothing was changed on my end.
After I first logon & get the welcome message, it takes me the large logon screen & the username & password shows as blank.
I re-type my username/password, when I click it comes back to the blank logon screen.
But, my original logon worked or I wouldn't get the welcome captnron.
If I click on my control panel, then I can get into the forums.
On posting, I was always able to change fonts & sizes without the [size] & [font] imbedded in the text box.
When I preview my post, they of course don't show up.
I first logged on as you suggested, before clicking on my emailed link and it comes up in my C30 forum but again, no username & password shows.
I clicked the home tab and logged on from there. I clicked on forums and they came up but now with username & password showing.
So, if I didn't change any parameters on SO.com, I have to wonder what caused these changes, I wonder if others have experienced this also.
I did scans with 2 virus/malware programs & found nothing. I checked errors, ran CMD etc. & nothing. I am well versed in PC & internet use just to let you know I did the troubleshooting before I contacted you.
