Posted by pike-62 on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 8:59 PM

Well this is starting to explain some goofy things to me with my account. At home I am logged in as danpik, always have been even after the "change" a while back. At work I am unable to log in as danpik, don't know why, but I can't. When I tried it would not let me saying I was not who I think I am. Anyway I tried to re log in and had to use a new user name to sign up. That name is Pike62. I don't dare try to log off of either account now and try to get back on as I may have to create a new account. My suspicion is that it has something to do with having to be a subscriber to the magazine and the code needed to sort that out. Maybe, I don't know.

Weird to say the least.

Now I've started a 3rd page that popped up after posting this previously.

The new posts aren't moving up and if you note (if you see what I see at my end), the last posts are all about 3:40 to 4 PM. Nothing after this time.

Wow, every time I log out and then login I'm somebody else. If I hit the profile regardless of who is the user name it goes to my profile page. Go figure, the website must have gremlins tonight.

I had DS Schmitt and One other (I cannot remember)

But did a cleaning of my computer down to the last scrap of cookie and got my log in back earlier today.

I dont know what was the matter with the Kalmbach Server but it should not be happening. However, I suspect the entire server was wondering which of the computers logged in was the real saftey valve. =)

Trains.com appears to be having just a little trouble today; three times - so far it has been three times - today when I have attempted to connect I have come up with a connection error and MSNTV has given me a "bad www" indicator.  I access Trains.com from a favorites folder but the first time this happened this morning I tried manually accessing the website and still came up with an error.  Five minutes later out of the blue I connected.  This has happened before but it is, admittedly, a rare occurance.

'My Favorites' brings me directly to General Discussion and I'm signed in already.

I only have to re-sign in once every 6 weeks or so.

 

I think I'm missing out on something now

I just signed in and discovered I am SAFETY VALVE!  And out of respect, I won't mention his real name on the initial welcome page.  I would hope everyone else who is experiencing this problem will do the same.

Thanks,

Sorry for posting 3 times in a row but, The server must be gliching. Because this thread is not on my "My Fourms" list and it's not moving on top of the General Disscussion.

On some threads I'm signed in, and others I need to do so.  Also, a minute ago I was csxguy, then I was jblackwelljr, and for the moment I'm me!  I also couldn't see my last post in this thread, or any after it until this post came up!
