Another head scratcher
For the 3rd time this month I've gone out for a couple of hours and left this computer switched on, then when I get home & try to get on Accy Web, Face Book, Blackburn 247 or the Great War Forum, I cannot access the sites until I have signed in and entered my pass words again. It doesn't happen at any other time. Nobody else has access to it or can use it because I switch to a blank channel and turn the monitor off.

Re: Another head scratcher
Don`t they log you off after a certain time of inactivity?
|
Re: Another head scratcher
When you log in, do you have the "remember me" box ticked?

Re: Another head scratcher
What browser & operating system are you using?
What do you mean by switch to a blank channel? |

It has hapened before but only when a site has upgraded or been off line, couple of times, thats happened with Ancestry, and several times with Blackburn 247, but he's always fiddling with it. |
Re: Another head scratcher
Do you clear cookies because that will log you out
|
Re: Another head scratcher
Have you had any updates for your computer lately from windows ?
these could be resetting things so you have to login again |
Re: Another head scratcher
There have been changes to my Email account since I was hacked last week, I have to log in every day now, there is no box to keep me logged in, which to be honest is fine by me.

Re: Another head scratcher
I see, KVM switch and you switch to a number with no PC attached so blank screen on monitor, as you say, nowt to do with it.
Neil & Mick have asked the next questions I was going to ask so here`s a few more. Is it the WIN 7 computer? Which browser are you using? Do you leave a browser window open when you leave the PC? Is a System Restore out of the question? |

Re: Another head scratcher
Have u checked power options? Is your computer going into hibernation?
You only have to enter your passwords once press save on 7. Reinstall you have to do them all again but otherwise you shouldn't have to. #1 rule to remember is NEVER use IE most experienced people will tell you it sucks. I prefer Google chrome. I login with my email on first install on a new PC. It remembers most user names from other computers and you only have to enter your password once. There is also a plugin for Firefox that does the same. Windows 8 saves stuff to the cloud I think. Might be an option over 7 but you might want to bang your head against the wall for a while |

Re: Another head scratcher
Updates for xp are essential. Totally nuts to me that you don't install them :)
Learn to stop using system restore as a solution. Not so good for your computer as most think |

Re: Another head scratcher
Never had a problem with system restore, so long as you don`t go too far back. A month or two should be fine to check if it did it back then. Can undo it afterwards if it`s uninstalled a lot of programs. ( put any files you don`t want touching into My Documents ).
But probably best solution has already been suggested, ditch IE and get something else. I`ve never used Chrome, there was a thread on here not long ago where someone was having problems with it. There`s also Safari, Firefox etc. |
Re: Another head scratcher
It was Restless who had a problem with Chrome.

Re: Another head scratcher
I only use Chrome and don't have any problems with it

Re: Another head scratcher

Firefox should import all your favourites. What version of Internet Explorer do you use?

Do think it difficult to help a person that won't be helped by basic recommendations, if he really, really, wanted advice, he would take it, (long ago, in the years gone by he could have had help putting everything on one P.C. (Not me)), but carries on with a system that he admits isn't easy to use or easily transferred to the useful. |

But that computer with all my Pals files & Accrington's Heroes on has never been connected to the internet, so it can't be infected, or affected by hackers or giil bates's mob. |

Re: Another head scratcher
[QUOTE=Restless;1063652]And does this favourites list have 10.0000 entries. I dunno. I can see your point. Use chrome = enter them once and never enter them again(signed into a google account) If your computer dies. You lose them permanently and have to add them all again manually without a guide of another program....
No about 30 or so. its like my mobile phone. If it breaks. Never will I have to add my contacts = sync with google. Its a godsend; especially if you flash your phone at least once a month ;) I hope you have a backup Every time jut before I switch the computers off. |
Re: Another head scratcher
For all that research I wouldn't be happy storing it on one drive. A setup with raid enabled would be a good choice. Two hard drives clone to make one so if you have a failed HD there is no loss of data. Then I would have the data backed up on an external HD(that I hardly ever use) as a just in case
|
Re: Another head scratcher
For important data at work, we have one of these.
Netgear RND2000 v2 ReadyNAS Duo 2-Bay (no disks) NAS.. | Ebuyer.com Two hard drives ( not included ), mirrored RAID. Can also be set to back up at regular intervals automatically. Might be difficult to set up on DOS though. |
Re: Another head scratcher

Every thing is backed up every day with out fail to a pen drive, then every other day to an external hard drive & weekly to a note book. What the eck is raid and does it work in DOS. But all that has nowt to do with my original problem, why just lately I keep gettin logged off from some websites, after I've been out and left this the computer on, no settings have been changed. It doesn't happen when the computers switched off over night, |
Re: Another head scratcher

Mirrored RAID, is two hard drives working together, whatever gets written to one hard drive, also gets written to the second. If one drive dies, the data is still on the second drive. |
Re: Another head scratcher
Yes!
I recently bought a NAS off a friend that found 1TB wasnt enough storage.... but its not mirrored raid at the moment so I dont overuse it.... the one i have is Amazon.com: NETGEAR Stora 2-Bay 1 TB (1 x 1 TB) Network Attached Storage MS2110: Electronics |
Re: Another head scratcher
Quote:
These NAS they plug into your router via ethernet and you send files over your network to it. most of them are raid capable. Raid simplified(hopefully) You have two hard drives both of them are 2TB. When you Raid them your computer reads those two drives as one drive. So it shows up as 1TB. So all the data written to the drive is in fact written twice. So if you have a failure in one drive there is no loss of data. Of course not 100% foolproof. But for such delicate work it should be for your main backup. If you had one. |

When you come back to your pc after this time has passed. Is the screen black and it takes several seconds or minutes for the pc to come back to life? If so I am guessing Hibernation mode in combo with crap internet explorer is causing this. I always turn it off. On XP, Vista, 7 or 8.... Whatever Doze product I am using.... It has been ages since I bothered to use XP so this video explains how to turn it off(if indeed it is on in the first place) How to Disable Hibernate and Sleep Mode in Windows XP - YouTube |

The nearer it gets to 1914 - 1916 the more queries I've been getting, through Ossy Mills, Haworth Art Gallery & Accy Library As for the other servers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Mozilla, and few more obscure ones, they all have faults that are far worse than any I've encountered on IE, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it, the passwords are easy to remember. Thanks for your help. |

Re: Another head scratcher
A Forum is only as good as the members that support it
if we did not have good members, good posts, and good threads and great staff:D we would go like a lot of other sites Just to show you what the staff have to put up with I recently received an e-mail from someone you all know here it is : I have taken the addresses out but here is the e-mail main message your moderators say that i am using 2 or more names on here,let me clarify something as ALAN7554 is banned from going on here i decided to use a new name and re new my membership hence kuriburi boy but you wont let me on with that one,so i tried the resident 1963 and you said no,reason SPAMMING there is no proper reason to stop me from re applying to become a member on here, unless you do discriminate against people who live in thailand,your stupid rules are a waste of time and i will send you another virus and get you off the air for a few days,the last one worked i have many friends over here who will gladly muck your website up. I WILL BE BACK ON HERE SHORTLY UNDER A NEW NAME AND A NEW I.PP. ADDRESS HA HA HA By the way we have never been taken down through a virus so no idea where he gets this from:D |
Re: Another head scratcher
The man is in the same league as Jimmy Saville!!! This forum is Child Friendly, yet he says there is "NO Proper Reason" he cannot gain access.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Beam me up Scotty.
|
Re: Another head scratcher
Oh and another thing this e-mail was reported to the e-mail provider and they said it did not go against there code of practice.:confused: so you can threaten and send viruses through this provider as it does not break there law:D:confused:
|
Re: Another head scratcher
THen the E-Mail provider is absolute rubbish n folk should avoid using people like them in my view.
|
Re: Another head scratcher
Don't know why he would want to still be a part of the site when he knows nobody wants him here.

But I am guessing he wasn't hiding it via a proxy anyway. I am guessing its definitely him. The info will state its sent from Thailand and also what isp. Why would he hide it. Like Glitter he obviously thinks of himself as untouchable now
|
Re: Another head scratcher
I don`t know who it is you are reffering to, but someone from around here could go through a proxy and make it look like they were in Tailand, or anywhere they wanted.
