There are those on AOL and Warner Cable's Road Runner service that can't post. It states that they must log in, even after they have....
Any ideas?
Dawn
P.S. I did e-mail the Administrator regarding this too.
I was having that problem also. I think it was when Shaun made changes to the board.
Delete your cookie for the site and re-login.
I know how to do this for IE, but I don't know for AOL or Road Runner. Do you have instructions?
Thanks!
Dawn ;)
It's the same no matter who your ASP is. Just do it through IE, tools, options, general.
I'm on Time Warner Roadrunner and haven't had any problems other than having to re-log after the new forum software took effect. If you use the Firefox browser, you can have password manager remember all of your settings.
To clear the cookies in Firefox, go to tools, options, privacy, to clear your cookies and cache.
AOL users should beware that they restrict access to some sites, whether you know it or not. You can sign on to you AOL account, and use a Browser like IE or Firefox along with the AOL interface to get around this annoyance. It works as long as you are online.
Dumped all my cookies and still can't sign in on AOL....

Apparently K3s wife has some sense and has ordered up a dose of DSL.
That boy likes speed, just wait until he can download a handful of pictures and video in mere seconds instead of days. ;D

Highest DSL I seen is 1.5mbps. ;D Cable is teh only way to go. ;D I get 3.5mbps ;D
WERD!

Hee hee...I get 5. (actually clocks to 4.86 most days)
Alot of folks will be going to DSL as opposed to cable as SBC has just dropped their broadband rate to $14.95 per month, about the same as dial-up. Also, some people out in the boonies can only get DSL as there's not cable access.
OK...help me out here - PLEASE!
I'm tired of going thru IE and want to log into this site thru AOL (no jokes allowed !)
I understand the issue of deleting the original cookie for this site. I looked thru all the temporary files for anything related to Racemotorcycles.com and don't see anything that jumps out at me as the correct cookie to delete.
What type of a file should I be looking for?

I have been equally frustrated by this! This definately happened when the upgrade was done to the YABB system here. I would think that YABB would be able to fix the problem since it's probably in any system using this same revision level.
I don't buy the removing cookies thing because I just built a new computer using all brand new components, including a brand new 10,000 RPM Western Digital 74GB Raptor Hard Drive as the sole drive on the system currently, and I still can't stay logged on using my AOL service (only IE). I can LOG ON in AOL, but as soon as I go to the next page it logs me out. I have a fresh install of AOL and WINDOWS XP on this new computer, even the 2GB of OCZ Platinum RAM (2-3-2-5 CAS Latency timing) is brand new so nothing could be lingering in there either.
Though it's off on a tangent, I built this new computer using an ASUS A8N-SLI-Premium Motherboard capable of 4GB of RAM and dual PCI EXPRESS video cards. I dropped the cash to buy the latest greatest PCI EXPRESS video card, an XFX 7800 GTX OC (factory overclocked to 490 MHz / 1300MHz!) and am blown away at the power of the thing. As soon as the price drops on the video card I plan on buying a 2nd one to run in SLI mode. My CPU is an Athlon 64 bit 3700+ with a 1MB L2 cache and 2000 Mhz FSB when run in Dual channel RAM mode. I've been playing Splinter Cell / Chaos Theory with all the settings maxed out and the thing doesn't even stutter! :o Me likey ALOT! ;D
Get rid of AOL. . .
AOL = "Army Of Losers"

does your windows in your custom computer have an option on the start menu to 'Set Program Access and Defaults'; check that'; next go to your dial up connections and see how your dial up is acting. You should check the box in Internet options for Internet Explorer to check if it is your default browser. Also, there is a place to manage your plugins that run the toolbars you have. You might be having a conflict of interest in the toolbars you have (your computer may not know what is the default toolbar to use). I'm not a genius, but these are common sense answers I might try first. I'm not sure if you fixed your problem by now, but I haven't been to the site in a while.

The rest of it? I'm jealous!
BTW, if the only users having issues are with AOL, I would say that the problem lies with AOL. Contact their customer service for a fix.

I will check that stuff after I get off work, but never the less my system worked fine on this site with AOL up until the upgrade was done to the YABB system here.
(I actually like being an AOL LOSER! ;D)

Ok, I spent the last hour going thru every set-up screen I could find in Windows XP with anything refering to this and changing back and forth with settings and testing them to see if they made a difference or not, but no luck so far.
I also should mention something else, on the home page here where it shows members that are currently logged on to this site it shows me as being logged on, yet it also shows the 'log on' box at the bottom of the page and has the 'login' button shown in the blue toolbar along the top of the page (with this combination I don't have the abilities I would have to use this site as if I was actually logged in). If I leave the site and return here it remains the same, if I close my internet connection - reconnect - then come back to this site - everything here remains as it was before leaving, if I shut down my computer then come back to this site after a restart everything is still the same as though I never left. If I 'log on' to this site the home page here will then show the 'logout' option in the blue tool bar at the top of the screen and will get rid of the 'log in' box at the bottom of the page and will continue to show me as being logged on to this site in the box that shows members that are logged on. As soon as I select any option on this site it logs me out by the time that page is shown, yet at this sites home page it still shows me as a member currently using the site and now shows the 'log in' box again. If I unselect the 'always stay logged in' box on this site at the 'log in' box then I will NOT be shown as a member currently using the site if I return here. That sure makes it seem to me that it's something with this site and not the cookies being used on my computer. Also if I attempt to 'log in' using AOL and then come here using IE it will show the home page for this site the same as what I was seeing when I came here using AOL (member currently using the site but displaying the 'log in' box to me). If I then log in using IE the site will work as it did prior to the upgrade to the latest revision in the YABB system here. And if I 'log out' from this site using IE it will also remove me from the list of 'members currently using this site' box on the home page, I also won't be listed as being here as well if I return after that using AOL.
I realize the easy solution is to just use IE, but that's not solving the issue, that's doing it the way that so many people in America now consider the correct way to do things - by avoiding the issue instead of correct the true problem, or what I refer to as "putting a bandaid on something that needs surgery" (like all the drugs that are currently 'needed' to calm kids down, yeah right, anything to take the responsibility away from it being the result of the parents, give me a break!). I'm a natural problem solver and utilize that in my job as well, but this is an area that I'm not too familiar with so I'm throwing all the variables out there hoping that someone 'in the know' may be able to figure it out. I hope it's something as simple as checking a box somewhere on my computer, but I don't think so, I personally think after analyzing this (with the limited knowledge I have in this area) that it's something in the YABB system itself since the upgrade.
QuoteThe rest of it? I'm jealous!
After using my 1.2 Ghz AMD Athlon since '99, and realizing that the 133MHz Front Side Bus of that sytem was killing my video processing capability, I thought it was time to take the plunge and upgrade. I did alot of research on the components I wanted and read alot of customer reviews of the products I was looking at on the Newegg and Tigerdirect websites. I had a basic price range I was shooting for and wanted what I believed to be the best in that range.
The Motherboard is an ASUS A8N-SLI-Premium and is 'woop butt' with a 939 AMD 64 bit socket, 4Gb capable Dual Channel DDR400 PC3200 RAM, (2) 16x PCI Express (PE) slots, (1) 4x PE slot, (1) 1x PE slot, and (3) regular PCI slots with the 4x & 1x slots being well position between the (2) 16x slots for good airflow to the Video cards. The Motherboard also has built in 8 channel Dolby surround, USB 2.0, Firewire, Optical out, Digital out, and (2) Gigabit LAN ports (10/100/1000). There are (2) RAID processors onboard (1 is a silicon image), there are 8 SATA ports (SATA II ready, 3 Gb/s), the nForce4 chipset Northbridge Video interface has a coolpipe instead of a fan, and there is a very user friendly interface for Bios flashing, Overclocking, etc.
The CPU is the AMD 64 3700+ which is capable of stable overclocking to that of a FX-57 processor at 2.8 GHz (without the crazy cost!) and has the much desired 1 MHz L2 cache, when used in dual channel RAM mode the CPU operates at a 2000MHz Front Side Bus. The RAM is overclockable DDR400 OCZ Platinum series (extremely low 2-3-2-5 CAS Latency) of which I have (2) 1 GB sticks with heat sinks. The Hard drive is a Western Digital, SATA 150, 74 Gb, 10,000 RPM Raptor drive that is crazy fast (I loaded Windows XP into my computer in 7 minutes, DirectX 9 in 4 minutes, & Norton Internet Security in 4 minutes as well!). This Hard Drive has been compared to the speed of SCSI drives yet doesn't have the outragous cost associated with them. The Video card is a PCI EXPRESS model XFX 7800 GTX OC with 256MB DDR3, the highest factory overclock available currently at 490 MHz core clock / 1300 MHz memory clock, 24 pixel pipelines capable of 10.32 BILLION pixels per second, and has dual DVI ports plus S-Video and HDTV output. This video card was just given a perfect 10 by Maximum PC magazine and was said to be "KICK ASS" by their standards. The Power Supply is from my last computer and is a Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480 watt unit with dual fans, SATA power plugs, and enough power connectors for me to hook up alot of accesories. I'm currently using my old DVD drive as my primary drive and my old CD writer as my 2nd optical drive.
In the near future I will be purchasing a Dual Layer DVD burner, a 2nd identical video card to run in SLI mode, a 2nd identical Hard Drive to run in a RAID 0 configuration, most likely a modular power supply in the 600 watt range, and am currently designing an aluminum computer case that I will be building for the new system. I plan on going with a liquid cooling setup with a dual length radiator (2x 120mm fans) and 3 copper cooling plates which will cool the CPU and both video cards. I've really gotten into this customizing thing since I'm in manufacturing and look forward to building the case very soon! :)
If you are gaming...wow, you can run multiple monitors for that puppy and have a blast looking like the lastest in evil genius technology. It just won't travel too well for a LAN party. ;D
I'm looking at the AMD 64 3400 for the same type of overclocking capability, but I'm not going with the SLI as I have no use for that much computing power (yet) ;) My current set up, (which was also built from the ground up), has been a really stable platform, so I'm going for a balance between price, speed and reliability. I think I can go for an entire build for under $1000, excluding monitor.
I recently bought an LCD monitor from Newegg, which kicks a$$, but if I get excited, I might think about a bigger one.
When you buld your custom case, post some pix so we can see your handy work!

I bought everything from Newegg as well, and all of it was either on sale, had rebates attached, or was discounted thru combo purchases. ;D
I did indeed build it for gaming, and it is VERY capable of that!
I will post some pictures when I finish the beast. :)
May I threadjack?
Microsoft is driving me nuts. I finally gave in to the constant needling for security updates and downloaded a million of them (okay, not quite a million) along with Service Pack 2.
Now every time I go somewhere I have to click again in the address bar to complete the download...all for my "protection" I'm sure.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how to turn off the extra "protection"? Do I just reduce the security level in Tools>Internet Options to something less than Medium?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Yes, there is an Apple witih my name on it at some point. I just can't stand the thought of having to reinstall a lot of software.
Use the Firefox Browser //www.mozilla.org
It automatically transfers many of your settings from IE, it's more secure, and you can do tabbed browsing (as opposed to opening a new window for every website).
Microsoft sux. I wish the programs I use on a daily basis could be used in linux, I'd switch in a heartbeat. We'll see if Vista (codename longhorn), the new MS OS due out next year is any better, or if it comes with a whole new set of buggaboos.

Alexa, do you happen to know if that will be 64 bit based with 32 bit capability, or vice-versa? I have been seeing little things here and there about it but nothing really solid.

Maximum PC had a sneek peak and it looks like the 64 bit and 32 bit will not included together when the product ships. >:( You should check out the latest issue, they have a preliminary assessment and it looks promising. More info later this year after they can evaluate another beta version.

Simple fix.
Dump M$ and use Linux. ;D
But its simple really. Go to TOOLS at the top of your IE browser, then INTERNET OPTIONS. CLick the SECURITY tab. Near teh bottom click the button CUSTOM LEVEL. Then scroll down teh list until you see "Automatic prompting for file downloads" and disable that. Then it shouldnt ba asking you anymore.
in AOL help, find out how to clear the 'cache' and do it. If I remember right it is under one of the buttons or drop downs on your tool bar. See if that helps. If not you can use mozzilla or IE while signed onto AOL. Or have the forum moderator email you the URL (example:123.4.5.678) and type that into the address bar where you would enter the page/site/address.
You might also check your certificate setting and if you have bloked this. All else fails cal there help desk or do the online help with AOL.
Thanks guys. I've tried various security settings but it won't apply them. It just defaults back to medium.
Anyway, enough of that.
Alexa, I may try the Firefox browser. My son uses that and likes it also. I know you've had good results with it.
I went to the Apple store on Michigan Ave in Chicago today. It's like stepping into the future. Maybe some day...
Thanks again. :)
Don, a quick FYI: real geeks rarely pay for software if they don't have to. Firefox and the companion email client are open source software and both are free to users. Zone Alarm is the best free firewall, and free AVG anti-virus works very well. Linux is the free OS, but you have to be a bit "geeky" to use it, as well as know which "flavor" best suits your computing needs.
I'm not sure what kind of configuration you're running, but when you're ready to upgrade, give a shout out and us power users will help steer you in the right direction with out spending too much cash.
