Tips for getting around the new GC.

[amanda6035]

Can somebody tell me if there is a way to STAY logged in? on the old gc, I logged in on my home computer - and it STAYED logged in. I'm not sure if my cookies are being retrded now, but everytime I come back to GC, I have to log in again, and it's a royal pain in the @$$.

I stay logged in from my home computer but not from my work one.

It must be something in the settings then. I'll try to figure it out

That's the one problem I'm having that's really irritating me.

I can't seem to find a security setting that would cause this. Maybe John will have an idea. It didn't happen to me with geekboards and it's the same program running this now. It's a mystery!

On GeekBoards you used the same computer, same web browser program, etc? Since you were able to remain logged in on that site, but not GC... my initial thoughts are that it has something to do with the browser cookie file. Could be that the browser cookie from the old GC forum software is somehow interfering with the new software being able to set a persistent cookie to keep you logged in. Try to delete the GC cookie, really any/all GC cookies that are on your computer, and see if that helps. Post back here if it does so others will know.

Well for some reason, it works now!

Still can't see the Greek letters though. Hmmmm

Is there a way to stop all of these emails?

I have unsubscribed many times, but each time one posts something new or starts a new thread, it is sent via email.

Ok, I looked for the "Getting around the new GC" thread, and couldn't find it for some reason...

When I first get to GC, before I log in, the time is correct (you know, where it says, "All times are GMT. The time now is ..."). When I log in, however, the time changes by four hours. Why is it right if I'm a guest, but wrong if I'm logged in?!?

Also, I still can't see Greek letters in signatures, etc. I didn't have a problem on the old board, or on other boards I visit. What am I doing wrong?

Check your settings. When you log in, your profile might be set to a different time zone.

Also, if John happens to read this thread (cause it's right up his alley) can we have a "reply all" feature on the PMs??

If John reads this, John this format blows. I can't put my finger on exactly why it blows, but it made GC even less fun.

I can't find the link to check my "@greekchat.com" email. It's seperate messages from the PMs. Where'd the link go?
