Nitro 882 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I don't know how to communicate this to the right person/moderator etc. so here goes. I usually simply browse this forum and enjoy the information shared here. On the rare occasion that I want to participate in a thread or contribute in some way I can't ever simply log in. When I click on "log in" a page appears with my established user name and password that was established when setting up my account. I click on "log in" and a message appears saying my established stuff is not correct. Have to click on "forgot your password" and go to email to reset my password. I type in the same old password that I used here before (and that I use for everything else) and I gain access for one time. Next time I try to log in here I have to go through the same crap. I don't mean to dump here but don't know how to get this to someone who can explain to me what is wrong. Constructive direction would be appreciated. P.S. Went to "contact us". Typed the same info. Failed the "security" exercise, then received an email indicating that no one monitors the "contact us" email account. I can hack into your bank account easier than accessing this forum.

I moved to Firefox years ago and haven't looked back. The only Micro-snert product I use is Win-7Pro...and you'll have to pry that from my cold, dead fingers - yes, I tried Win-10 (shudders). 1 Quote

It's not just the 'new' interface that riles me...it's that you can't pick and choose what updates to apply. I want control of my system...I don't want someone telling me what I need and don't need.

That said, you haven't provided the browser you're using, OS, and platform (mobile/desktop). I suggest Google Chrome for best experience. Quote

I want control of my system...I don't want someone telling me what I need and don't need. Ah yes, of course. That is a bit frustrating. I think there is a way to see what's being updated and stop it, if not, then you can definitely remove installed updates via pc settings. One thing that helps is to set the updates so that it won't download updates not for windows. Like mine only downloads relevant things related to security, drivers, etc. Doesn't run for everything like I've had to deselect on other versions. Just a lil different... my main gripe was the interface. ALl in all it isn't bad, just gotta get through the annoying hidden things lol. Quote
NorthwestBasser Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I use chrome. I can go a week or two, sometimes more, without coming here and I'm always still logged on. It's gotta be something on your end. Trouble shooting these types of problems can be a pain though, good luck Quote
FishDewd Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Hm I guess Nitro decided to give up and not give a follow up... Quote

Actually, I 'm pretty sure I had this exact same issue way back when... and what solved it for me was clearing cache/cookies. Hate to see someone call it quits over a silly machine like a computer not behaving. Quote
