If anyone is having problems with loging in since we have moved then please follow the steps for a forgotten password. If that does not work then please contact us at: admin@pc-pals.com or contact me at krioma@gmail.com (if all else fails!)
-
Don't know whether this will help anybody but when I had trouble looging in I went to profile and put my pass word in there and it let me straight in.........
and I must say it looks v good here tooooooo :laugh:
Whoops even logging in :blush:

Hi DB, nice to see you again! :thumb:
I'm not sure you can actually get into your profile without first logging in - are you sure that's what you did? :?

Well I thought thats what I did but tried to get in again and it the man he say no, so had to go the forgotten passw ord route but I'm in now and back after moving house decorating gardening,building,carpetting and all the other jobs that take you away from proper life. Thanks for the welcome :D
-
Yeah, we've had a few problems with some people's passwords, but some have been fine, and logged in straight away. At least you're here now! :)
-
I have opera browser it wont log me on
my avant browser logs me on but wont allow me to change anything
My firefox cant find the site
-
Hi Davy, have you tried clearing the cache and cookies in all your browsers? You'll also need to set any browser you wish to use with PC Pals to accept the cookie, in order to stay logged in.
Let us know if you've done that, and are still having problems. :)
-
Sometimes it recognises my log-in details, sometimes it doesn't. I'm bewildered (as ever). By the way, I like the new layout :D .

as an interesting test could you follow the password forgotten bit for me, you should get a password reset link and a new password (you can change back afterwards). This should solve any problems, if not just say.

I tried the forgot password 3 times the third time it worked
the other 2 times didnt

thanks davy, seems like we are having a few problems with this part of the site (its probably related to the mail server changes).

thanks for the help sam
anytime you upgrade a forum it has a few bugs but its always worth the wait
All my browsers are logging on now
-
excellent news davy - glad you have it all working.
anytime you upgrade a forum it has a few bugs but its always wort the wait
and those few bugs dont manifest themselves till you go live! damn things... i think we need to put some virtual ant powder down! :-)

Somewhere i saw some virtual DDT but the govt would probably close you down for using it lol
-
the only way I can log in is if I click on memberlist.
I can't logon using my password. :?:
-
surely you have to type your password in somewhere? did you clear all the cookies etc and follow the pasword reactivation procedure?
-
yes I cleared all cookies and still could only logon using memberlist but got it sorted when Sandra changed my password.
Can logon now using password.
-
thats rather odd...memberlist just does exactly the same when you are login in, only thing i can think off is your browser saved the code for that page alone.
-
eitherway you are in now...
-
me too the first time - i had to reset my password
i just thought I'd forgotten it - and it hadn't remembered me as I'd done the reinstall :laugh:
-
it seems as if everyone can eventually get in, sorry about the inconvenience to you all.

Cunning plan didn't work then Sam :laugh:

Correct in ONE :)

i will have to try again.. there has to be a way! :-)

sam
it looks like the view posts since last visit isnt working or it wont work for me
-
Hi Davy,
A few people have had this problem. One solution has been to clear your browser cache and cookies, and allow the site to set and store a new cookie. Let us know if that works, or not.

I cleared everything and it still shows not new posts
i always have bad luck lol

do you see any yellow icons on the main index page that would indicate that there are new posts in a particular forum. do you manage to login first time or does it take more that one attempt?

I can log on just fine
no icons that i can see
but im using opera 8 so it might not show
update I logged on and off about 4 times and it worked
strange
-
very odd - so you now have the yellow icons and view since last visit working? Maybe it just took that long for the cookies to refresh? :?
If it doesnt stay working it might be worthwhile testing it on firefox or something similar if you have access to it.
interesting though.

no icons but as i said im using an opera beta it might not show them
but when i click show new messages it does give them up now
Ill try it with firefox,avant,
the forum is doing great
-
umm maybe it could be opera, but it shouldnt be browser dependent. eitherway at least the most important part of it is working - odd that.

all five of my other browsers work with it but i dont get the icon with any of them
probably is my opera
I refuse to downlod the new one ill keep my beta model

ok so the (in case we arent thinking of the same thing):
(https://www.pc-pals.com/forum/templates/Avalanche/images/folder.gif)
doesnt become:
(https://www.pc-pals.com/forum/templates/Avalanche/images/folder_new_big.gif)
or is it that this:
(https://www.pc-pals.com/forum/templates/Avalanche/images/icon_newest_reply.gif)
doesnt appear? or both even! :-)
- well if it doesnt at least it works.
Oh as for your opera beta - might be worth the update as you could be missing out on some important security updates.

-

ok sam
I logged on this morning and the posts since last visit shows how many posts
and it also shows the check marks in yellow
and the speed is fantastic
-
I logged on this morning and the posts since last visit shows how many posts

it was probably my browsers acting up lol
-
umm probably still though, not the satisfactory scientific answer I'd like - heck whats scientific about computers at times!!! :-)
-
But here still, when you go to the page of the new post itself, you can't know which one was added there, (the colour doesn't change). While the number of "Views" remains only " 1 " (one). :shock:
-
joudi you have lost me there! sorry.
do you mean the colour of the newest posts dont change for you? it should and does (for some of us at the least!). the number will not change (well will increase) until you log out as it is based on your session id (I think!)
-
Yes, the new posts function only works perfectly, when you first log in, or if you restart your browser, but are kept logged in by the cookie. It does work in the same session, but even though it displays new posts exist, it will still go to the newest post as it was at the start of the session, if that makes any sense. It really isn't a good system, but it's the only one we've got, so it's a question of getting used to it, unless Sam decides he wants to rebuild the new posts function. :ooo:
It does seem as though everyone is gradually getting things working, and most of the issues have been browser based.
-
just so you know .....
I was trying to log in on this old piece of poo computer ..... and....
I forgot my password cos I'd saved it on the other computer :? and not changed it, so I requested another, and then I hit enter to view a post and I got in anyway ?
-
Well, these password oddities get stranger and stranger. I suppose, as long as you can't log in as someone else, it's not too much to worry about. I'm sure it's because browsers are getting confused between the two sites, but I can't explain why.
-
i tried what you did on a machine that knew no passwords - no odities - so dont worry about security :-) thanks for saying though.
-
joudi you have lost me there! sorry.
Ok, I'll try to make things clearer:
When there's a certain thread which I read all its' posts, and I leave that thread (or close Pals), and come back to see if there's any post added to the same thread. Well, I see that there were new posts added.
In that case, when I go to see the new posts in it, I like to know which posts were not read by me yet.
In the forum before, it used to show the posts which I didn't read (the new ones to me), in different colour. Now, I have to search which was the last post which I read my first time before leaving.
I hope it's clearer now. :)
On the other hand, It would be interesting to click on the "Index Page", on the new post, to take us directly to the last post in the thread which we want to see (better than to take us to the first post of that thread which will need to clic again to enable us to arrive, at last to the las post, if that thread makes many pages.) :)
Thanks Sam...

Joudi, which link are you clicking to see the latest post in your favourite thread? You need to click the orange arrow, next to the topic title ((https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpc-pals.com%2Fforum%2Ftemplates%2FAvalanche%2Fimages%2Ficon_newest_reply.gif&hash=c1776c6308911a94d20dc9d74ade09a88a9d8c07)) to see the newest unread post. Is that what you have been doing? You need to click the actual arrow - not the topic title.
-
or if you click the blue arrow ((https://www.pc-pals.com/forum/templates/Avalanche/images/icon_latest_reply.gif)) underneath the time of the last post on the right hand side this takes you to the last post

I've had my runny nose pressed to the window for a few days now, but haven't been able to log in using my Rodders ID no matter what. Could some kind soul have a fiddle with the settings and let me in please?
Just for the record, I'm currently very poorly and have been spending some time with my very understanding new girlfriend who has a house out in the sticks and a couple of stripey pals.
