Login Is a Pain

08/07/2015 11:24 PM

Hi all

I read a blog and wish to reply, so I login and I'm miles away, why can't we stay in same place?

Tony

We're half a world away, and I can't help you.

Huh? If your talk'n about have"n to leave the page you were on when you had to log in, that was brought up about 3 years ago. Savvy address it as saying you need to remember where you were at when you want to log in.

I just leave myself logged in until I clean my browsing history then I have to log back in, it just saves time and frustrations having to try and find where you at when you had to log in.

Do you get notifications via email? I just click on a link in any of those notifications, and it automatically goes to that page in my browser (Firefox), listing my member name. I haven't consciously logged in for months, perhaps even years!

Example:

I just clicked on "Login is a Pain", and it took me to this thread. After reading the other replies, I scrolled back up to see the original post, and clicked on the "Reply" button. No other action required.

I found anytime I clean my browsing history, it also deletes all the cookies, so consequently I have to log back in all my different sites and emails. As long as I don't do any house cleaning I don't have to worry about login back in, but when things start slowing down, I have no choice but delete history

Perhaps it's because I'm using a Mac, but I've never noticed such a slowdown. Also, I've had 8G of RAM for about 3 years, and just upgraded to 16G. I definitely noticed improvement in my CAD program each time I increased RAM. Back when I only had 2G, the CAD program would crash after having been left running for a few days. I normally put the computer to sleep when not in use, but it does seem to help to do a full shutdown occasionally. I try to do that about once a week.

Which browser are you using?

I primarily use chrome, or fire fox. I given up on IE junk. I found with IE you have to clean it daily if not hourly depending on what your searching for.

Even my old Dell dinosaur runs fine when left on for 3 weeks continuously, as long as it doesn't get cluttered up with cookies. So, I've gotten used to just logging back in after any house cleaning.

As far as Tony was hoping the Admin. would pick up this, I think they have their hands full with just dealing with the spammers. There's a few things that need be fixed for the Android platform, but until then, I'll just deal with the frustrations and be happy they offer this site for free.

Thanks all

Yes, my history is not stored in Firefox, but logging in and hitting the link again seems like the best option. I do run malwarebytes weekly, so perhaps that's cleaning the cookie jar. I was hoping the CR4 programmers might pick this up and fix it.

I have the same problem, probably because I use a 'cleaning' programme to clear out all unwanted rubbish downloaded during surfing, which seems to include CR4 history), so normally I am not logged on to CR4 at start up.

Most times I open a blogg in response to an email notification from CR4. It takes me straight to the subject. But in order to reply (if I want to) I have to log on.

That is when I get lost. It returns me to the 'page' but not the blogg. Then I have to search the page to find it. That is the pain!

The quickest way for me is to return to the original email and click on the blogg again. It then takes me direct to the blogg and I can reply if i want to.

Once logged on to CR4, I can reply to any other blogg of interest.

Dear Mr.Tonymech,

I have also faced the same situation what you have expressed. While I want to reply, it is asking for "LOGIN/REGISTER." If you log in I get a different screen, and find it difficult to go to the same display.

I am of the opinion, it is soft ware related issue, where CR4 Admn, alone can do some thing on it.

But to get back the same display, for which you want to reply, when you click in for REPLY, and once you see log in, Pl. do not log in immediately and you go back to the SAME display for which you want to reply, pl. copy the web-link Id.. by keeping the cursor on the address bar, right click and copy.

Then you log in and you will get a different display. In that display, you go to the address bar and remove the Id. shown and you paste and click on it. You will get the same Screen Display for which you wanted to reply. Once it is displayed you will see "REPLY"and not LOG IN/REGISTER

Once you reply, and you are sure reply has been confirmed, then you navigate where ever you want.

This is what I do. For example I have copied the web-link from the address bar of your posting which will show/read as which you can verify.

http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/102576/Login-Is-a-Pain?frmtrk=cr4digest&et_rid=420540921&et_mid=82580966

Once you copy and immediately paste the link, it will work. If by mistake you have copied something in between, then Id. which you wanted will not be pasted as the latest copied id. alone will be pasted. To be on safer side, copy the link and paste it in MS Word doc. then you can copy again if needed.

Any doubt pl. post your doubt here or through personal messaging through CR4 MESSAGING.

This annoyed me, too...

until I developed the habit :

Login - [BkSpc], [BkSpc], [BkSpc]

Some pains aren't worth the pain...

Cheers...!
