Well, not only do I have to sign in every time I come to the board, I also have to sign in while still ON the board. Even if I don't close the window or log off, I'll have to sign back in if I haven't written a reply to something within five or ten minutes. And, of course, even though I say "Remember my Username", it doesn't.

Irritating, to say the least and I'm not known for my patience.

Hmm. Make sure your browser set to accept cookies and keep them...and maybe try adding AW to your Trusted Sites.

jodiodi · Sep 11, 2009

Done that. Didn't help.

jodiodi · Sep 11, 2009

also, it won't take AW as a trusted site because it doesn't have the (s) in the https thingy.

I keep getting logged out

And told I'm not logged in or I don't have permission to post anything or view anything.

Is the board trying to tell me something?

MacAllister · Sep 11, 2009

I read back, jodiodi, but didn't see anywhere you'd said which OS and browser you're using? That would actually be helpful.

jodiodi · Sep 11, 2009

IE but don't know which version. Not sure where I'd find that information.

Windows something. Vista, I think.

BigWords · Sep 12, 2009

Help>About Internet Explorer should tell you which build of IE you are running, and if you want to know which Windows is on your system go to Start>Computer, right-click on Boot and click on Properties. It should tell you everything you need to know about your OS.

jodiodi · Sep 12, 2009

IE 7.0
Something about Buttsexpacks or something like that when I click on the properties.

Question: With the groups, I'm having trouble navigating the posts/discussions. There's no 'new posts', no way (that I can find) to change it from 10(?) posts per page to a higher number, and no way to jump to the last page without scrolling down.

Is this a limit of the groups? One of my groups has some awesome support threads, but I almost never visit b/c it's such a pita... I see the positives and negatives of the groups as they stand (the chance for specific 'subforums' is nice) but said issues are a prob.

Yes; it is. The Groups are sort of like public bulk PMs in terms of how they are created and displayed.

MacAllister · Sep 16, 2009

If you guys would like the option to display more messages under your groups, I can do that....

I think I can, anyway, I'll have to go and poke around.

Remember, we're sort of experimenting with a bunch of these new features, figuring out how to best implement them, or even whether to do so.

New Things for people to be especially aware of:

1. The Social Groups are not Private.

2. Visitor Messages in Profiles are not private. They are also not the same as PMs which are private.

3. In the CP there's a new option called Profile Privacy. Please do check it out. The settings only affect AW right now; vBulletin forgot to make them not Googleable. As soon as there's a patch, I'll apply the fix.

Re: Social Groups--Can you keep Google, etc., out if you select

Users must join to view the content

in the group permissions? (Group type>public)

No, you can't.

Jo · Oct 2, 2009

Bugger. I mean... ta.

Deleted member 42 · Oct 2, 2009

If it's private use PMs or email.

Jo · Oct 2, 2009

No probs. How weird to be able to Google content that can't be openly viewed on AW. Good to know, anyway.
