Trouble with one computer

[vickyg2003]

I'm not sure if its the time of day or the computer that I use during the day, but I've been opening the page (automatic login) and it will say

View posts since last visit (1)

and when I click on it it will say

No topics or posts met your search criteria

although there are new posts.

I tried deleteing my temporary internet files. I only have one instance of the IE browser open. (at least here)

Is there anything else I can do?

You can try logging off the website and then logging back in. Usually these issues are the result of bad cookies.

Perhaps exiting and then restarting IE after deleting temp files would work?
Also did you try the Refresh button, perhaps it'll do the right thing reloading the page?

I tried logging out. I tried clearing temp files. It happens on my work computer only. I'm fine from home on all computers.

Hmmm, I see it too. It said 9 new posts. When I clicked, it returned 7 thread titles.

I think it always does that.
That just means that the 9 new posts are in the 7 threads returned (more than 1 new post in some threads)
At the moment I get 21 new posts in 9 threads - which is correct.

I think Vicky is describing something different - ie no threads returned at all - which is definitely wrong, and something it never does to me.

Did you try holding in CTRL and/or SHIFT while clicking Reload/Refresh ?

That can sometimes help.

Also when you cleared temp files - did you also delete cookies ?

Mine live at:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\Jim Dunn\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

obviously your path will be different.

My cookie is called:

Code: Select all

Cookie:jim dunn @ hifi-remote.com/forums

If you didn't already, maybe try deleting yours to see if it helps

It happens on my work computer only.

Certain firewalls reset the IP on fairly short intervals. This causes the forum software to think you're in a new session and forces you to log back in. I used to have this same problem at work myself.

Vicky, this is your boss's way to tell you to stop cruising the web while you are supposed to be working

Try disabling automatic login. Then set a link/favourite/bookmark/whatever depending upon browser to:

http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/searc ... d=newposts

This takes you to the new posts bit straight off but then prompts you to log in. If your browser supports remembering passwords then let it do so for this site and see if that works.

I'll give this a try. Thanks.

My issue was a problem with the IP. My boss had to call them because he couldn't stay logged into payroll. When payroll was fixed, so was the JP1 site.
