Why does it always show me as logged in? I logged out yesterday and tonight when I come on here to read it shows me is logged in. The little green light is turned on under my name.

Cookies. Did u log out?

duck_duck · 04-28-2007, 06:11 PM

Yes I always log out when I leave. Then I come back later and read before logging in and it will sometimes show me as online.

freshnesschronic · 04-28-2007, 06:16 PM

Again, it's cookies. And you probably x'd "remember me".

New guy: I was going to say hi in a new post, but apparently I must reply to a 'few' existing threads before started my own to prove I'm not a spammer.

So, how many is a 'few'?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-10-2007, 08:08 PM

Welcome to the cellar drax.

A few is until we get your dossier from Homeland Security.

Weird Harold · 05-10-2007, 08:15 PM

I don't know, I haven't been inspired to start any myself. Welcome.

Well, all I can say is that I don't spam, and I'm not a troll (at least, I don't think I am).

Um, could be a little wait there... we can't find the hard drive.

But I have a feeling the information will soon be available on the internets.

Oh yeah. Welcome, Drax, to the cellar. Don't take it personally.

Question: No avatars? I had planned to use my avatar from EI.

monster · 05-10-2007, 08:57 PM

Nope. No avatars. Let your posts speak for themselves.

Welcome

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
3. Or it could be something else you don't have permission to do. Sorry!

I had better stop getting this message by tomorrow night at 11:00PM Central Time, or I'm outta the Cellar.

Patience is not one of my virtues in this case.

As well as containing the spam, it does mean new users get to know the place better before creating new threads. If someone has a burning issue they are desperate to discuss they will be willing to wait before starting a thread - after all they can always take advantage of our thread drift policy...

And if it's not a burning issue then it can obviously wait until the ban is lifted. If you need your own thread so badly you might be better off on a faster moving forum (using "you" to refer to everyone apart from me, not to refer to Drax specifically)

The only situation in which I can see anyone being disadvantaged by the rule is a long time reader who knows this place well and wants a Cellar opinion on something current.
