Hey Kimbo,

It's fixed! There was an issue WAY down in the settings that needed to be redone. I thank you SO much for letting us know about this!

My pleasure...It's a bit of a peeve of mine. I really prefer to keep my pics private..well that is if I ever upload any.

I appreciate you not telling me to check my browser...I've been in IT for 20 years. If ya ever need any help I'm here, I'm just not a web guru.

Dear Admindusa ~
I was one of the ones who could view the gallery without logging in.
I love that you fixed the gallery thingie but now I can no longer view ANYTHING without logging in !!!

I get the error message requiring me to log in to view the forums page, or any page. I've tried
different angles, including rebooting my computer but I still get the "You must be Registered"

It's got to be something I'm doing on this end, though I cannot for the life of me figure it out !

Do you have any suggestions?
HELP !

IIRC, this was changed to require log in to view the forums and such. Or are you getting this when logged in?

Boots13 · 11-28-2009, 10:41 AM

Hi Linus !
I'm getting this message before logging in...in the past I could read forums, etc without logging in but now when I try to read BFP Forums I'm advised that I must log in
and nothing shows except the registration mask ~

Bit · 11-28-2009, 10:44 AM

That's not just you, Boots. It started yesterday, and now I can't read without logging in either. What it means is that when I click on an email link that ends in "newpost" it takes me to the post where I left off, rather than the last post in the thread... given that benefit, I'm not certain whether I really mind it or not.

Bit · 11-28-2009, 10:47 AM

Whoa!! I just logged out, closed all windows, opened a new window and Googled us.

I could not even get into the site through the main Google link to the front page without logging in first. THAT does not seem like such a good thing, because it means no one can come surf and decide they like the site...

Bit · 11-28-2009, 10:49 AM

LOL, Ryan, two minds with but a single great thought, there.

It's only temporary

Boots13 · 11-28-2009, 10:48 AM

Bit and Ryobi, My thoughts too .

Ryobi · 11-28-2009, 10:47 AM

I'm having the same problem as Boots13. Sometimes, I like to come on the site and just read. Up until a couple days ago, I could do that without logging in. Now, I have to be logged in before I can view just the threads. It tells me I don't have permission and must log in to view the pages.

I understand blocking access to the galleries, I even appreciate that. It's frustrating not being able to read without logging in though.

If people thinking about joining the site can't view the site in it's basic form, I think added members might come to a stand still? I doubt I would register on a site in order to see the site. I would want to see it first and then join if I wanted to. Just my .02 cents.

I'm hoping that this is not an issue with my system and you tell me my computer is a piece of

!! LOL.

Thanks for all that you do, Linus.

Hey Boots, et al!

Just a quick note on the forums being closed to guests:
I changed the settings in the back end so that people would have to log in to view our forums. I had a reason for it and it is intended to only be temporary. I will probably open them back up to guests later today or Sunday.

I appreciate your patience

T D · 11-28-2009, 12:13 PM

I hate to sound totally dumb, but just how do I get to the Gallery. I don't see a link anywhere

Thanks

Yayyy Admindusa !! I'm not an idiot after all....dont go there

I thought it was just me, since I had'nt heard other people
having to do the same, until now.
No worries and no rush
And THANK YOU for your quick response !

Often while composing a post I'll be timed out before I can submit. Is there a setting to prevent getting logged out so quickly or...?

I don't have no 1 meeeellion dollars, but I do have a bridge for sale...

So yeah, I was copying all my posts before hitting submit, but failed to today and lost a post. That, in turn, led to an emotional downward spiral that required my femme soothe me.

Speaking of soothing, the "thanks" option is driving her to madness. I can't say I'm a fan either.

1. It disrupts continuity.
2. Instead of clever reps (fun to read! relationship building!) members can now just hit "thanks." It seems, well, lazy.
3. e complained that she got so many thanks, it bumped her reps and she never got to read them. Yeah, I know, right? HARD to be so popular.

We prefer the option whereby we can read our received and given reps.

That's our list of demands for now. Doesn't mean we don't appreciate all that you do, because we do. A lot.
