[jeff f]

on 3 occasions today the site has loged me out for no apparent reason

[Angus]

There is no obvious reason for this Jeff.

Is it running ok now?

Angus

[Dan23]

I get that occasionally but always think it is cause my net connection dropped out and it is a time out thing.

[jeff f]

yeah it's fine now thanks angus

dan this wasnt a dropout this was click on a thread inthe sidebar

I have had this several times,my wife reakons I hit the wrong buttons. I have a Benq Joybook A52 LAPTOP with Windows Vista and if you fingers go anywhere near the pad it changes. Takes a bit of getting used to for a novice

Now there is your Problem. Lose Vista.

[werewolf]

Shortie. I have ran vista for quite a while now. Haven't had a problem with it. If you have modern hardware with up to date driver support and enough grunt you should be fine. If you have an old P3 with 512MB RAM forget itB)

However in truth the only reason I upgrading to Vista was I needed another legit license for a new PC I was building, and went with their new product. Unless you need a another license or DX10, you don't need it. Sorry to get off track:)

[shortie]

Vista= no control and stupid messages. very cumbersome. Even on a p4 3.2 overclocked to 3.52 2gb ram

[username_taken]

I run vista64 at work and it's fantastic. Sure as a power user you need to turn off the stupid messages, but once you've tweaked it up a bit it's great. I wouldn't go back to XP.

Shorty, UsernameT is right, you can turn UAC off. Its the first thing you should do, it takes 10 secondsB)

BTW I have a 2.6 GHz Core2, which smashes the P4 range, works a treat.

[jeff f]

just bloody well did it again

[benno573]

jeff i have come across this before too. i usually hit the back button and make sure the original page is loaded properly and then try.

[jeff f]

i just punch roboform and let it look after it

[Do$tylz]

Yeah jeff I get it pretty often as well. But I find it only happens to me if I have left the page to idle for a bit.

Not a real drama ... just hit the "log in" button again.

[werewolf]

Jeff, when you log in, do you check the option "Keep me sign in permanently" (or something like that)

[AFO]

Firstly, it is best to always click links rather than use the back button on any secure site or on a site that you need authentication (eg logging in to AFO).

Also AFO will end a signed in session after 6000 seconds.

[bootyinblue]

Jeff - Maybe they are just trying to tell you something!

Shortie - What do you suggest other than Vista. I have it on this laptop and becoming increasing frustrated with it as it seems to be getting slower and slower.

[werewolf]

Booty if your hardware is struggling with Vista, I think you can still buy retain copies of XP for now. Mind you, XP won't be sold for much longer as a stand alone retain product; it will only be available on low-end laptops etc.

BTW - I am still happy with Vista on my PC. Runs sweetly, super stable. My biggest gripe is that you have to learn how to use a new OSB) I would certainly not put it on a low end machine though...

[jeff f]

i tried vista at a mates place and i'll be staying with xp pro

[Terry H]

Vista is cool

[werewolf]

well i was going to quote Jeff and attempt something humourless like "you can't teach an old dog a new trick", but ironically I cant use "Reply" or "Quote" on this thread now, only "Quick Reply". (I get some error along the lines of "the administrator has disabled public something or other.... (I forgot))

But yeah Jeff in all seriousness mate, the complete change around of all the menus, where functions and features are located etc, is by far the biggest gripe I have with Vista. It is a serious pain having to find out where everything lives again! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[werewolf]

FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS: THIS IS THE ERROR I'M GETTING

"The administrator has disabled public write access.

Only logged in / registered users

are allowed to contribute to the forum."

thankyou cut and paste:)

wwolf

[bootyinblue]

LOL.... werewolf, looks like Admin are trying to tell you the same thing as they did Jeff.

[Cowfish13]

Happens for me as well in this thread:dry: But I'm still logged in (ie my avatar is still showing in the top, right-hand corner when this happens), so no biggie:)

[Terry H]

You can't use quote or reply because this thread is locked.

[bootyinblue]

But I just replied ;-)

Sorry, but just had to...

[werewolf]

oh its "locked". I wouldn't have thoughtB)

[AFO]

Yes this thread is locked. There is an issue with the forum which will need to be fixed.

Please keep on topic - this area of the site is so we can keep track of errors and problems that need to be addressed. So we dont have to sift through pages of chat on vista and xp. Feel free to start a topic in the correct category.
