I wonder if Chris can advise us if the problems regarding new members being able to join Firenet are any closer to be resolved yet?
The takings at the banter bar are down, and also the atmosphere in this home for the slightly bewildered might be getting a bit stale. Some new members might be a breath of fresh air!

The right thought on the right time!
But don't worry Wiz it's natural!
Things will be sorted out on its own, in a natural way! :)
-
We need members particularly from BS committee, Manufacturers, Experts in the field..., etc :)

Particularly, if what 'Bruce Lee' said is right:

I'm starting to get worried Benz - you are posting more responses to yourself now than anyone else!!!
-
Or is he just trying to get his post count higher than the Prof?

Or is he just trying to get his post count a little higher than the Prof?

Or is he just trying to get his post count much higher than the Prof?

To get the post count higher and quickly, you need to get through a black hole, but it's not available in FireNet, it's rather in the outskirt of the galaxy...etc :)

Yes Indeed, when I see the Forum getting down, no adds..., and no one bother, I start to talk to my self, I am happy you started to get worried Buzz :)

But you are posting the same text three times Wiz, this is even worse!.
Buzz, why you are not worried in here :D

Not quite Benz. There were subtle differences in all three of my posts.
I also am trying to catch up with Prof. K - Only 7,637.5 posts to go!
Of course, 99% of Prof.'s posts are relevant to the subject, whereas I can only claim 0.1%!

Ask then as much as you can, and consider your self you don't know, even if you think that you know, you will see, so many members try to answer your bits, so like that you can catch up Kurnal...
You just need to play both roles 'the teacher' and 'the learner' at the same time, you will see how things change :)

Benz we really need to see more of you in the Banter Thread. You'd enjoy it there.

China is governed by engineers, and since, it has 10% growth every year in economy, engineers have better visions though :)

Sorry for the delay. We've been busy at FireNet HQ updating the software and now (we hope) new members will have to jump through a few more hoops to sign up, we hope this will prevent automated "robots" signing up to post adverts or porn, viagra and all the other fun things.

Chris
Is this conneced to the fact I can't log out EVER!
Am I doomed to roam the forum looking for new threads for all eternity???????????

Davo if you delete your cookies this will effectively log you out- next time you visit the site you will find yourself logged out.
We're all doomed I tell thee- doomed!

i am having such problems also...
you need to clear your cookies etc first then log out.
-
Thanks Prof/Graham
worked a treat
davo
ps we don't need new members judging by the rate Benz is posting lately!!!!
-
How do I clear my cookies as I'm suddenly unable to log out too? Sorry I'm not very good with these things, I usually crash mine whenever I try anything like this!!!
By the way there is a post in fire safety called funny money and it looks like an advert has anyone else seen it and thought the same?
-
Yes the new security system hasnt stopped them yet- these most likely are people logging in though rather than robots trawling the web.
In internet explorer go into tools, internet options, general and hit the delete cookies button. Next time you open internet explorer and visit the site you will have to log in again.
-
Thanks kurnal but it hasn't worked. When I close my internet all together and come back to this site, it shows me having to log in but when I go to the bottom of teh page it shows me as still being logged in and never having been logged out??? i.e Once I log in again, I still can't log out if that makes sense.
-
Cat, Trying doing as the Prof. explained and also re-starting your PC
-
Sorry, didn't quite make myself clear. I have followed the Prof's instructions, I've gone into internet explorers tools etc and deleated my cookies and I've just tried re-starting my laptop as you suggested but is hasn't made a difference???? I've remained logged in and still can't log out.

Cat;
I didn't know about this problem till you mentioned it, even me couldn't logout..., as I never tried to logout, since it's only me who use my laptop..., but I have just tried what Kurnal and Wiz said, and it worked perfectly, it prompted me for the first time to login since…, which I have done, then pressed logout again and it worked perfectly
Just give a try again
Every day is a school day :)
-
Cat;
You'r probably right in one thing, you have to delete cookies each time you need to logout and not once for ever. but why it does that only in this forum?
I don't know! :/
-
Thanks benz. I've just deleated my cookies and restarted my laptop as suggested and I've had to log back in finally but once I log in I can't log out again and I'm once again stuck at being logged in!!!
Maybe my purpose in life is to scour the far reaching corners of the firenet forum and seek out new information and knowledge :)
I think I will leave it for a bit and try again later today and see if it works because it obviously does.
-
Cat when you first registered you ticked a little box on the sign up screen that said "remember me" so the site has remembered you and places a little cookie on your PC every time you log in to save you entering your password next time.
I think you can amend this through your profile- or you could increase your security settings by not allowing cookies - (again through internet explorer- but some sites will not work unless cookies are enabled) or just delete your cookies on a regular basis. It keeps your pc nice and tidy anyway. You could also keep the clutter down by telling your machine to delete temporary internet fles on a daily or weekly basis.
-
Just another thought Cat - not automatically logging in would help you to slink into the bar and see who is there before we see you. And if the Hon sec is there you can slip away unseen before he starts talking about that operation and that nice vet again.
-
Thanks for your help kurnal. I have removed the remember me so as you say I can slink into the bar and see if its safe or not. Unfortunately I can't completely block cookies at the moment because some fire services are e-mailling me updates with regards to my applications so if I block cookies I don't get these updates. Normally I do and I always clean up my disk drive every weekend along with scanning for viruses etc... I was hit with a nasty virus earlier in the year, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
If nothing else works I may have to call upon our dear Mr Houston for some help. Why oh why does it always happen to me :/
-
p.s. Thanks wiz and benz for your help too. Looks like I have everyone puzzled at the moment.
-
But what sort of new members shall we need? (http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr87/BenzFerari/icon_scratch1.gif)

I don't believe it, i'm still having problems logging out today grrrrrr.
