This doesn't work for me. I put in my name and password, and it just returns to the login screen endlessly, asking again to input user name and password.

Are you sure that you use the password you had before the upgrade?

Probems

The speed increased, but it could be faster. There are other problems: I don't like cockies therefore I disabled them in my browsers. And I write my posts offline just to think about it in all silence and I can look up a word in my dictionary. And of course to save some money. But there is a problem I have to log in before I go to the page were I can write my message. After disconecting, writing conecting and submiting I get the message that I am not logged in. Than I give my username and password but my reply won't be posted. I have switch back to the threat again, press the reply option, login againinsert my message that I coppied before, than submit again and hope it will be posted. Therefore it would be more comfortable if username and password would be again on the write reply page. Another posibility would be username and password to have also after logging in on the Post Reply page.

Now to my other problem: I saw that I became chieftain altough I was already warloard. Therefore I took a look on my profile and I read there that I posted 66 replies and I thoght it was something of 150 post. Therefore I searched for all of my post and found 147 or 148. Therefore were are all these posts in my profile. That's more than 50% of my post account that is missing. What did I that justify this punishment. A warning before or explaination afterwards would be welcome, otherwise this will reduce the fun in posting here dramaticly. By the way I would like to know where I can find the rhules in the new forum: Where can I get to know how many posts I need to become a warloard et cetera? Or where can I find the penalties for a certain behaviour. Or other rhules like this I wasn't able to them yet, I thought that are faqs but I couldn't find it there.

post count restored

Thanks Markos and..

Thanks Markos, for my post account. But I already disabled cockies. But it is the disconnect problem. I am used to write my posts offline espeacilly in the CTP2 fora. There it is sometimes helpfull to take a lot of time to look the stuff up in the CTP2 text files. Therefore is it possible to have password and username also on the post reply page?

Hi Markos, here's what it's now said on my front page

Read them!
Urban Ranger - You have 0 new message(s) since last visit (1 unread, 8 total messages)

The problem is I don't have 8 messages. I have 6. So it seems that either the total count on the frontpage is 2 higher than actual, or I am missing two messages somewhere.

[Urban Ranger]

Bah! Why does it count copies in the sent folder?

Thanks.

as i said, you can browse the forums and post on several threads with just one login in the front page without cookies. just turn them off from the control panel page

[Garth Vader]

Speaking of cookies, are they still working? I have them enabled in my control panel, but now everytime I leave the site I have to log in again when I come back. They were working fine before. The only change I made was that I changed my time zone.

Starting to feel ignored

Not sure this is the right thread for this, but I'm not sure I'd want my username and birthday displayed on the forum front page.
Any easy ways to settle this?

Anyone? Markos?

[BeBMan]

Sorry if this has been asked before (haven´t read all pages of this thread), but I often have to reload a thread before it is displayed correctly. Is this a known problem of the new system or only related to my relative slow (56k) connection? Because I noticed the same on other vBulletin forums, sometimes only the first or the first two posts are shown, only reloading helps...
