Bug Reporting Thread

I just went to reply to a post and although my name is up on the board was asked to log in. I did so. Didn't see any alternatives.Earlier I came into the forum without logging in, as an anonymous guest, and without logging in found my name up on the board soon after.This is a little different but similar to the problem I'd been having for months already: I'd be reading the board logged out, and after some number of page clicks -- half a dozen, a dozen? -- I'd be sent to the log-in page. At the top of the page, however, there was a link to "logout," so I got in the habit of clicking on that instead of logging in. Then I could read again for a while before I'd get the log-in page again. Every time I got that page I would lose whatever I'd been reading and would have to start over. I don't know if I should be describing this old problem now, but it could be that attempts to correct it are what have caused the new problem of my being asked to log in although I'm already logged in.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Don't know if this is a bug problem exactly but since I've been accessing the new board, when I run the spyware program AdAware it catches a surprising number of "cookies" from evcforum. I run AdAware every time I leave the internet because I pick up so much ad stuff online. I just cleared 47 evc hits before logging on this morning. Yesterday at one point it was 200 and something. How am I picking up so many cookies from this site? Seems like every click must get one.ABE: Hm, now I'm not getting times on the board again. Related?ABE again: Cleared cookies in Profile. Why are times not appearing on the board?Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

So I should just let them accumulate and not get rid of them or what?

Two things.1) Cookies. I'm still getting an enormous number of cookies from EvC picked up by my Ad-Aware program. It was a thousand something earlier today, a few hundred on a briefer visit. I can't see allowing thousands of cookies to accumulate in my computer and I really don't get this. I did let one batch of 50 or so get through without deleting them, on NWR's advice that maybe it has something to do with how things function when I'm at the site, but after that I'm deleting them. But I don't get it. What is this?2) Search feature still coughs up a long list of references that do not contain the requested term, plus at least one at the very top that does.

I just enountered the same thing: It happened on another thread a few minutes ago too, but by clicking on the page instaed of the post, and then refreshing the page, I was able to bring up the new post that had originally been declared not to exist. Didn't work this time.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
