My time is 7:00 pm GMT
There are 7 moderators online including an admin and the C in C.
Not one has posted a reply to my last post regarding the issue in hand and why I had to re-register.
Is this a hopeless cause?
I appreciate you may be busy at any given time but a period of several hours has elapsed since my last post without response of any kind.
As I have mentioned before it seems that the moderators are quick enough to respond to posts regarding P2P, Piracy or any other supposed infringement of the rules of TSG.
I cannot for one moment believe this is apathy on the part of the mods but I beg for a reasonable explanation.
I love this site but I have had many years dealing with IRC and the moderation problems that that media involves. One may become slightly apathetic at times.
I shall come from the heart and state that the only moderator to respond to me within a reasonable time has been Eddie, a true asset to TSG.
Just recently Brendon raised an issue only to be crushingly put down, in my opinion, by a certain individual.
NOW, can I have a reply as to why TSG asked me to re-register on that occasion?

Yours in hope and full support.

I responded last evening and you never acknowledged it.

It was my understanding that the problem was solved. Are you still getting the login screen?

[bearone2]

sometimes i have to reregister with the various computers i use to access this site and other sites.

it's not the end of the world, just a few keystrokes.

In answer to your first paragraph:
"Since you lowered the settings in Zone Alarm and it allowed the cookie, it's probably set to always accept it now so increasing the settings had no affect. At least, that's my best guess."

This above is a statement not a reply.

In answer to your second paragraph I must ask what is your definition of a "Login Screen"?
This was not a login screen but a registration screen as indicated in my second screen shot.

May it be known that at all times I was accessing my home pc and not trying to login from any where else.

If you look closely, in your second screen shot you will see the words "log in" just below the words "completely free". It can be called a registration screen or a log in screen.

All this screen is telling you is that you are not being recognized, so either you have to register or, if already registered, type in your username and password.

Are you still having this problem or are you just looking for an explanation as to what happened that one time? This is what's still not clear to me.

For the last time I shall catagorically state that I had already logged in (see shot 1)
I feel sure that all Administrators will have access to who is registered and who is not.
Finally, finally I shall ask in sheer exasperation;
"WHY DID THE SECOND SCREEN COME UP?"

You didn't answer my question.

You seem to think that we should be waiting with baited breath for any little issue you have and all come running at the drop of a hat. I suggest you take a deep breath and relax. You are obviously logged in, so this is not exactly a critical issue, right? You've been asked repeatedly if you still have the problem, in this and the duplicate thread you posted titled A strange occurance.

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT PROBLEM? Will you please answer that?

[Cheeseball81]

I'm just going to jump in on this one if that's okay.

I'm not completely sure what the issue was, or if it's been resolved for you, Wolfeymole.

All I do know is that it was a few nights ago...my guess is it was late Saturday night (into Sunday morning) for me.

I was on here pretty late and I was experiencing TONS of problems.
I constantly got 'Page Cannot Be Displayed', when I tried to delete old PMs, it would say things like 'Invalid Thread', and at least 3 times I was suddenly logged out and had to relog in.
Even though it was about 3 a.m. at the time and I was pretty tired, I'm sure I received the same strange error as you.

I don't remember what Server I was on.
But I do know is that it was weird but it's been working fine ever since so I didn't think anything of it.
I figured it was just something with the site.

Anyhoo, that's my story.

[bearone2]

i'm not seeing red x's or any indication of screenshots, am i missing something somewhere?

[Wolfeymole]

Very well, I shall state that, NO I am not having any current problems logging in.
All I ever wanted to know is this;
"WHY DID THE SECOND SCREEN COME UP?"

When I run CCleaner and come back here I always have to log in, this the norm and acceptable.
In the past when I have done this (logged in) from scratch as it were, a screen will come saying Welcome back please wait while the server re-directs you etc, again no problems.
The first shot (left hand one) indicates I have logged in, would this statement be true or false?
I would suggest True, so why did shot 2 appear when I either hit User CP or any Forum heading?
The 2 shots are not logical and if someone can tell me otherwise feel free to do so. I am either logged in or I am not.
As mentioned I was not trying to log in from else where either.
I don't know how much more clearer I can be on this.
Because I like to get to the bottom of things you think I think your at my beck and call. This is absurd beyond belief and a rather silly attitude to take on your collective parts.

Thank you Cheesball for your asides on this matter, however irrelevant to the point in question still has relevancy to issues that the server may have had.

The moderators do a most excellent job at all times but I do feel that a certain amount of flippancy is shown on occasions.

That is all I have to say on this matter.
Respectfully Yours

Wolfeymole, this is constructive criticism. If this rubs you up the wrong way, allow it be a flavour of what you do to others. If you like I can do unconstructive criticism and get to the point far more quickly than this.
Wolfeymole - you've heard of the mathematical phrase "common denominator" to describe a common theme through a series of events?
1.You came to this site after slagging off another. You posted a link so we could go and see for ourselves. The issue was grey, unconclusive, but you got a polite reply from one of the chiefs of that site. You didn't do 'polite' yourself did you? Yet you were probably wrong. You shot from the hip at one free site from the cover of another and that was that. Don't waste your time filling in the details there - I don't care.
2. You read like the miserable old git/know it all character from Harry Enfield who says 'you don't wanna do that'.You remember what people thought of that character? Annoying, know it all, you basically wanted to slap him in the end didn't you?
3. It is not, frankly, absurd for someone to suggest to you that you give the impression that mods are at your beck and call - that is exactly what you give the impression of - your explanations of what you are actually like ('like to get to the bottom of things') is irrelevent to how you actually appear. It is your responsibility to make that connection come across in a way that benefits yourself or paints yourself in a positive, polite manner - you fail continuously.
4. You say you have experience with Mods and how they should act? You say this site is excellent? We've seen how you acted in one site, we see how you act in this one, do you still go to any others now? (Hypothetical - don't answer)
You want the mods of this excellent site to act like the mods from the, by implication, not so excellent sites. Think about possible reasons why this site could be excellent, go on, think before you speak? Any ideas possibly?
5. You've already rubbed individuals up the wrong way at this site, maybe they read you wrong, maybe you meant something else? You are old enough to know it is your responsibility to try and make this not happen. It usually happens less when you get to know people. Yet you have all this experience from other places? When you gonna stop and learn then eh?
6. I've just thought of something. I am being more polite in criticising you than you are normally, in asking a simple question? I think I am anyway, it's quite hard. Stop and think how you come across.
7. Have you ever rubbed anyone up the wrong way at other sites other than the one you came to this one from, and this one? Hypothetical again, but as sure as big lumps of egg on your face is eggs, we both know the answer to that is yes don't we? It would be almost impossible in my eyes, judging by the way you present yourself, for that not to be the case.
8. Why is it that you cannot see, that jumping into a group of people you do not know, without introduction, or in your case, a self opinionated introduction slagging off another, and behaving as if everyone knows your humour/traits/personality etc. does not work? Are you a 13 year old girl or nearly a grandfather?
For people to get to know you you have to start off somewhere else don't you? Slowly meandering to who you are picking up friends along the way. You drive full speed to where you want to go, knocking people over on the way, and when we get there it's a car crash with people gawping at you! Is that the kind of attention you want?
The way not to introduce yourself is to put forward questions in a demanding and condescending manner, to people/mods who give their time freely, whilst they deal with problems far more concerning to others, than yours should be to you.

I could go on. I would usually much rather do the shortened get to the point version, but thought I'd try to see if you are beyond yourself first. I'm 50/50 either way on that.

The common denominator is you, obviously.

Now after this, (usually after a fight or a pint, or both ) we'll be friends for ever or we'll hate each other. It's up to you.

why does a giraffe have a long neck????

a lot of things in life aren't as cut and dry as you like, being able to figure stuff out to the nth degree.

it's amazing, your problem appears to be resolved and your stilll whining about what you think was poor service.

perhaps you should be a moderator?

[Wolfeymole]

No response shall be given to the Welsh persons attitude who has not read the full monty on this whole scenario.
A quote from Bear
"it's amazing, your problem appears to be resolved and your stilll whining about what you think was poor service."
The question has NOT been resolved Bear and until I hear a DEFINATIVE answer to this question thus;
"WHY DID THE SECOND SCREEN COME UP?" I will not be satisfied.


I will either be ignored by the mods or be given a straight answer or barred.
These circumstances need never have happened at all.
I shall strive for the truth.
P.S
Bear, it's blindingly obvious why a Giraffe has a long neck, it's down to evolution.

[AcaCandy]

I believe the issue is due to cookies as well, or your zone alarm settings.

In the world of computing, sometimes there are no cut and dried answers.

Often, what happens on one computer cannot be replicated on another.

If that answer isn't good enough for you, I'd say you take computing way too seriously

And I'm not quite sure why you think all the mods have all the answers

We don't, never claimed to. Geesh, I don't even think Tech Guy has all the answers, although, since he is a guy, I could be wrong
