Weedon Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Could some kind person advise how I might change my password and add a "signature" after I have registered. I have tried to re-register in order to change my password but I am told that username (and something else which I have now forgotten) already exists.

Russethouse Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 In the second yellow band down (as I type this page) there is 'Control Panel', that allows you to change your password in 'Registration Details' and there is also a 'Message signature' area where you can add your signature.

Sorry to be thick but what am I doing wrong.Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Make sure you are logged in and then go to the top of the 'front' page (just above where the FAQs are) or press the reply option and look to the left of 'Recent Topics'.Control Panel is in a bolder type.Let me know how you get on, maybe I am not describing it very well !

Delboy Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I know I've just got back from the pub, but the only thing I see in the yellow bars above FAQ is Active Topics/Popular Topics.Assistance please! Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Does it say 'Logged in as Delboy' at the top of the page (above the FAQs)When you are logged in it should say Control Panel|Recent Topics |Active Topics | Popular TopicsControl Panel is in bold type.If not, press the 'reply to post' buton and that should make it visible.Bon Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedon Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thanks Gay for your attempt at helping me but I am not much further forward.I did what you said but the only effect that has is to enable me to post a reply to my own question on "change password".Maybe it needs to be spelt out in much the same way as I say to locals when I attempt to converse with them that if you speak in baby talk I can understand it.

Russethouse Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Press reply.....look for your name 'Logged in as Weedon'What is to the right of your name ?If the first thing isn't 'Control Panel' try a) clear your cacheb) adjust your settings - 'Tools: internet options... : General,look for temporary internet files and click settings and change your settingto 'Check for newer versions of the page every time you visit'.You think you have problems ? I bet you have smileys and pos script options? I don't :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Sorry Gay, I'm sober now, but I'm with ? (previous poster to your last post - No poster names are displayed on my screen!) - I still only see 'Active/Popular Topics' in the yellow bars, both at the top of the 'read posts' screen and at the 'post reply' screen. Yes, it does say 'logged in as Delboy (logout)', but nothing else.I've changed the 'Check for newer versions' parameter as suggested, but how can I clear the cache. Help came up with 'no topics' when I entered 'cache'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Will had to tell me...if you have never done it it might take a while to clear:To clear cache, go to Tools in Internet Explorer, then Internet Options, then delete temporary files. That should clear the cache without affecting cookies etcHave you got Recent topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your control panel/forum settings is 'All Options' selected? If any of the other boxes are checked, you won't get the full range of features (including 'emoticons', aka smileys).

Russethouse Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 The 'clear cache' was the same for me. I have tried all options on the forum settings, still no smileys.BTW I think the person having trouble with Control Panel may have to reboot before it has an effect.

Paulhogan Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 good evening allI am having similar problems, cannot see posters name in box on left nor can I see Control panel but I can see the smiley's as I type this message Have tried suggestions of clearing temp files and internet settings to check for new version of page every time I access it but still no control panel or posters name. Help please.Paulps I am using IE ver 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnM Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Well I think I see what the problem is, or at least in my case. I could see no names or control panel either until I switched off ad blocking in my firewall. Is there nothing that can be done about that? I don't want to have to keep switching it on and off.It's still like wading through treacle when I go from post to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Good Heavens - I looked at AVG last night thinking it might be that, but I couldn't even see how to temporarily disable it, leave alone switch off one section. But then I'm very low tech :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
