OR

3 Been logged off and had to log in again, password and all.

The first 2 usually happen simultaneously. Reloading the page brings everything back to normal, as if I hadn't clicked the "thanks" at all.

None of the posts I "thanked" last night have my name below them either.

I'm using an iPad2. Is it me or you? In either case, am I concerned?

Edited to add the following:

After posting the above I clicked on "user CP" and was bumped off again.

Could be the iPad (button disappearing and such). For the logging in and out issue, are you checking the "Remember Me?" button? That is meant to keep you constantly logged in.

You're not the only one having image issues! See above.

I think this has been asked before but I can't find it.

Why can't I play games on my iPad in the Arcade? I never use my computer anymore but think the games are only accessible on a computer.

Is that the reason? Can they be changed in any way to include an iPad?

Many thanks Linus for all you do to keep us up and running.

I thought it was just me!

Because the games are flash and not supported. And there is no way to change it to play on the iPad.

Hi Linus,

Don't know if this is OK to ask you this. Tell me to eff off if it's not. Any idea why 3 different websites say my ip address is 3 different things and give 3 different locations for me? Sorry for the non BFP related question. Trying to learn some techno info after reading things here and there in the forums. Just wondered if someone was messing with my internet or computer or if this is normal.

Thanks.

Send me a PM with what you are seeing. It will depending on who your provider is and whether or not info is being proxied or not.

I wanted to mention that I just noticed today that my "Custom User Title" reset itself back to "Senior Member" on its own. I dont know when this happened as I dont always look for/at that sort of thing and I was able to change it back to what I wanted it to say, but I thought I'd toss that out there in case there is a glitch somewhere.

[*Anya*]

I am sure someone asked this at one time but do not recall the answer: can anyone who is not a member see pictures that we post in the gallery, or are they visible only to members?

Also, can those pictures that we do post, somehow be entered into something like Google images with some kind of magic google software, without us knowing or consenting?



Thanks.

Thanks.

The answer to 1 is no. They cannot even look at your profile.

As for question 2, that's a little fuzzy. Because guests cannot look at pictures, the Google search cannot crawl through and find them. That said, there is nothing that prevents an user from copying it and pasting it (this can be done by someone with some knowledge of HTML).

Rule of thumb: if you do not want it out there, do not post it anywhere!

Hrmm.. that's very odd. Angie was looking into it last night and we didn't see anything. if it happens again, let us know before you change it. It may help us narrow down the cost.

When I click on the User CP button, a new tab opens in my browser. This is new. Is it you or is it me?

Thank you

It's the code that Angie used.

Yes - but this only speaks to "lost passwords". I think the problem is that the email has changed therefore they can't get a re-set link because of the email change. Thanks.

This question has probably been asked before, but I just don't have the energy to sift through all these pages.

My question is: Is it possible for me to put a hyperlink in my signature?

Thank you!

LOL, well no need to get too crazy on a mountain road! Thank you, though. I will go look at the signature box again but I am fairly certain there was no world icon in the options. I will check again and report back. And really, there's no huge rush on it.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Yeah, it's not an option for the signature. Making a hyperlink is available when I post, but not there. I am wondering if maybe it's a perk that comes with a paid membership thing?

Answer at your own leisure, please.

Need to be a BFP Supporter II to have more than a basic signature.

Hey, Linus!

My 'instant notification by email' went out again. You've fixed it before by jiggling something in the back end. Is it possible to do it again?

Thanks!
