Chuck Nessa Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 ? Can anyone 'splain this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I'd like to explain it to you but since you're off line, you won't be able to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 ? Can anyone 'splain this? I don't know but I've noticed at the Blindman's Blues forum that it shows I am offline while I'm posting - they use a much older version of the same software. The only thing I can guess is that it might be related to logging on "anonymously". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it applies here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 What's this logging in business? I NEVER log in. I just connect (over and over again) via e-mail notifications of posts on subscribed threads and I'm in. Do you all actually log out when it's lunch time or whatever?

Claude Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 In "invisible" mode, the user is indeed shown as being offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 It never occured to me to check the profile box for this when I'm posting here! I still know what I'm doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I was not in "invisible mode" when this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Be careful, Chuck! This could mean you are going to be banned ALSO from this BB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Storer Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Chuck, I hate to have to break it to you, but you've been banned. Unlike some other forums, though, here when you're banned you can still post. But offline only. MG--what's this email notification business? I keep my Organissimo cookie intact so I don't have to enter my login every time I drop in. I just click View New Posts and see what's happened in my absence. Do you really restrict your posting to threads you subscribe to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Uncle Chuck - I've known you to be out-of-line, but not off-line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 being online doesn't mean being logged in but having clicked on some thread, member profile whatever in the last 5 minutes... if you are inactive for more than five minutes and then click on your member profile it says offline (because it doesn't count your present action of clicking on your member profile yet) (if you then click on the refresh button of your browser it will say on line (reading member profile)) (and will mean not your current reading of the member profile but your last reading before you clicked refresh...)

Do you really restrict your posting to threads you subscribe to? No, I have a look at the new stuff - usually every day, sometimes more often. But I'm getting notifications from two other BBs as well, so I tend to "reside" on Yahoo. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDK Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Haven't been to AAJ for many months now, but just checked it out for shits and giggles as they say. No problem accessing the forums, but the rest of the site seems to require a different account and/or password. Either that, or it doesn't believe me when I tell it my mother's maiden name (and I should know!). And when I try to create a new account, it won't let me use my normal password but requires something more stringent, with too many letters and numbers than I really care to remember for future use. It is a jazz site isn't it, and not a repository for atomic secrets? Anyhow, it's no longer worth my effort to even sign up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
