test Post

[MSG]

Sorry i am posting this just to see if I can post, since I deleted my Internet history, i am now having problems logging into Migweb, particularly when i click in User CP button I am told to log in, and when i enter my password and user name in the box at the bottom, it doesn't do anything other than explains why i might be getting problem logging in, however I can go to Forums and even make posts and ;leave comments in otrher posts, but I can't seem to use the USER CP!

I am not sure if the problem is at my end or at Mig's end!

[MSG]

Definitely a problem, each time I click on the USER CP, it says that I am not logged in! and when i try to log in again with the same user name and password, it flashes very briefly a welcoming screen and then reverts to that i am not logged in???????????wtf. Yet I can leave posts here!

[MSG]

You know what, I always tell people not to **** about with your computers too much as each time you update things or delete internet history something goes wrong! and no one listens to me!

[MSG]

OK, I think its sorted now, all I did was referesh the page and it worked now. Thanks and sorry if I made this unnecessary thread.

silly me! lmao


But it was definitely worth deleting the internet history files, now it seems to be working faster than the speed of light!

Nothing has come out MSG, just blank spaces. Is your computer playing up?

.

blank here too

[MSG]

Sadly something is still not right, like for example this morning I automatically logged on to Mig, (Password and user name already stored on the Mig web button on my AOL Bar) and in the USER CP only my post showed, and when i opened it, the last 3 posts by SteveM, Allvaux, and GTE 16V did not show through and I had to referesh the page to do so.

Not sure what setting if any I need to change or deselect. Will probably eventually get around it. If you guys have any ideas then please "can help you me please"lmao

AOL, locked in the 1990s, there is your problem!

[MSG]

yes you are most probabaly right, unfortunately I am reluctant to use or try other browsers as that would mean changing my well established email address that appears on all my stationary and work related papers. And I can never get a simple email address any more by signing on to other browsers without using a 20 + letters long email address whereas now it uses just 11 letters long easy to rememeber email address for others.

Secondly the problems may be due to backward compatibility of the AOL, they keep updating their browser for improvements thinking that everyone now uses the latest Windows 7 , whilst I am still on my faithful XP.

Moved to testing

[GTE 16v]

I still have access to my (very old) AOL email address so that argument doesn't work! Bin AOL and go for something more 'with it'.

[MSG]

Thank you Paul, I didn't really know there was a seperate area for testing. Accept my apologetics!!


Ok, GTE 16V, not so sure if I should call you Dave, any ways, so are you saying that if I change my internet provider, which currently is AOL who charges me around £12.00 a month for absolutely unlimted use, and that if I then enrol with another internet provider such as Sky, or BT, or who ever, say for even lower amount with free local calls etc, where I will have to form a new email address, and that I could still log on to AOL email, but I was with the understanding that once you unsubscribe AOL, after 6 months they will delete your email address.

Or am I badly mistaken, such that you could still have AOL email address and stop subscribing to them and they won't delete your email address as long as it is active or activated or in use at least once every 6 months before they could delete it completely band then I might never be able to get it back again. A bit like car registeration number, which you can keep safe for as long as you want for a transfer to anothger vehicle later on even though the original vehicle may be now destroyed or scrapped, its called retention, and you pay a fee.

Or can I be with AOL as my service provider and use other browsers as my main browser and navigate the internet using another completely different browser, if so what is the best browser in your opinion mate.

sorry for being stuck with AOL and never really tried fully other browsers.

[TINTIN]

I couldn't be arsed to read all of that but either Firefox or Google chrome for your browsers. It makes no difference who supplys your tinterwebz, you can use which ever browser you like dude.

[MSG]

I will try FireFox if it doesn't work well you will had it Dude!


Thing now is I have to refresh every thread to see latest posts added on the thread since my last viewing! It might well be some internet setting that has been disturbed or changed, so may be it is just a question of implementing auto referesh or something along that. thanks for your help dude.


test continues still. edited using IE to see what if any improvements over AOL, and so it seems at the moment

[MSG]

OK guys, here comes the Fire Fox browser, so Tintin keep your fingers crossed!

and checking Edit now.

[MSG]

You are one lucky guy Tintin, it just works aparently brilliant! so you are spared mate! Good one mate

Allow me some getting used to it though. It is indeed very fast.

[MSG]

another test still.

edit test


Good I am quite happy with it now. Cheers all, may still need to do some more testing if I face any problems. keep this thread current please Mods.


just needed a few more plugins, so all is well now. so true,

edit : post a picture to see now that the photobucket works brilliant when uploading and is much much more quicker.

[jamied]

if that is your back garden MSG i would forget the browser and start watering the lawn...looks a bit dry

[MSG]

I wish Jamied, I had a garden as big as that and accessable from the road, I could then start restoring cars such as my Manta. What a pitty though I live in terraced house! Well at least i got a shelter above my head.



Tintin, so pleased now that things are flowing so smoothly and real fast now. Cheers mate I can't stop thanking you enough!! thank you again!!

checking

[MSG]

Just to let anyone interested know that since interwebbing with Fire Fox, things are running really smoothly, uploading into photobucket, etc etc is real smooth and fast, a few hiccups at first which are to be expeceted due to various plug ins needed to run things like You tube etc, all is well amd so much pleased, but thyere were features with AOL that don't seem to be available on Fire Fox, but I can live with it. I rathjer it run fast and smooth. Another fire Fox convert!
