db, this is a great website, which you already know from my 'habit' of visiting your 'campsite'. My question is this, when you click on 'start a new topic' to begin a thread, can a default search be started by asking the member or guest to type in their topic of discussion first. That way if it appears in a previous thread, it may 1) answer their question or 2) at least give them a sense of where that discussion has gone in the past so they know whether or not it is really a new topic. Plus 3) it will help keeps posts organized topically. Just wondering. 8) 8)

I've already got horns and a tail. Do I really need a pitchfork? (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Actually that's an interesting idea. Organization is a wonderful thing but some people tell me they don't read much past the first few responses since threads tend to disintegrate after a while. Go figure.

I don't write this stuff. One of the admin pages for the board has a button I could click to remove posts older than X # of days. The default is 70. The geeks that do write this stuff would never understand that some things, some concepts, remain timeless. Still, people come and go.

I'm sure I've repeated myself numerous times over the years. -Probably changed my tune a bit as well. If the search police can help someone that's great. Those who have done this BW/Q stuff for a while admire all types of efficiency but some day some idiot w/o the standard preconceived notions will say something stupid and we'll all go: "Hey, why didn't we think of that."

So... don't hold your breath. Smiley

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything in regards to the horns, tail, and pitchfork. I was simply stating my obsevation that people new to QJ, and I've been guilty myself and will likely continue in my guilt, Seem to ask the question first, without doing a search. Often, to use Trippers example, we get the annual, if not more frequent 'footwear' discussion, or the neverending debate over whether or not to hang the bear pinata. My thought was that by entering the topic and doing a search would eliminate some of that. Whichever, this is a fantastic website and I deeply appreciate the vast amounts of time and resources you give us. You're da boss! Wink Wink

I have been a registered QJ user for over a year and have never had any problems with my account... until the last few days.  My account won't stay logged on.

When I log on it says that I have instant messages, but when I try to read them it tells me that this feature is only for registered users and I see that I am now listed as a Guest.  I run into the same problem when trying to use other QJ functions. 

I know that my computer is supposed to download two cookies, but I can only find one of them, even while it says that I am logged on.  I set my browser to always allow cookies from QJ, but this didn't solve the problem.

I use Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6.0.  Additionally, my computer is running Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Norton AntiVirus if that makes any difference.

Have other people had this problem, and is there an easy fix that I haven't tried yet?  Help!

Thanks,
Piggyn

Normally that is a cookie problem on the browser's end. In this case it was on my end and I expect a lot of people had or soon would have had that same problem.

The good news is with Piggyn's help I was able to find and correct it. (I'm pretty sure anyway.)

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for bringing it to my attention.
