What was happening? Did it give an error message at all or just a blank screen?

bm24v. Are you using more than one PC?

I log on at various PCs; home, work other locations.

Sometimes I'm logged out the site at some locations, for no apparent reason, but never logged off, at any time, by others. 

Up until recently I wasn't able to log on at all at work but that seems to have resolved itself with the new, bigger, better than ever site (thanks again Mods). 

Check your own internet settings on the PCs you use.

I've found that if I log onto a second machine, it automatically logs me off on the first machine.

Another thing to try is to delete the site cookie

The forum automatically logs you out of any machine if you log in elsewhere. It is part of the in-built security.

Its all part of protecting ourselves. Soon we plan on bringing in a system whereby you call a number and get a security code off us before you can register.

If you login with one browser (e.g. Firefox) and then log in with another (e.g. Internet Explorer), you will be logged out of the first (even though they both are on the same machine.
Also, when logging in, you may not have ticked the 'remember me'box.

Ah, yes, but, how do you know its me that's calling you?

Before I can get my security number, surely you have to ask me loads, and loads, of questions? such as: -

place of birth

mothers maiden name

date of birth,

inside leg measurement

favourite colour

name of my dog/cat/goldfish/rabbit (delete as appropriate)

and..........

 

how do I know it's you I'm calling?

Sorry to hijack this thread again, but I want to go back to the acronyms.

I just found an old “t” shirt the wife had made for me this morning and her acronym is “BMW”.

To her it means “BITE MA WANG”, this is what she says to me when we’re driving around and I see a nice BMW and as I start to talk that’s what she says!!!!!!!!

Roughly translated to layman terms, bite ma wang means,

 

“Please desist in talking to me regarding this subject, I am a woman and care nothing for your inane endless drivel which you find so interesting, I like shopping, clothes and shoes and do not care about Mitchelin pilot sports, Hamann shinny bits or carbon fibre, if you persist with this line of conversation I will be forced to impale your skull with a bread knife”

Ah, but, there you go, you're wrong.

You only Think you're God, whereas SWMBO Know's she's God.

Quick joke - oldie but goodie

Quote After getting all of The Pope's luggage loaded into the limo, (and
 He doesn t travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still
 standing on the curb.
 
 "Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver, "Would you please take
your seat so we can leave?"
 
 "Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me
 drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today."
 
 "I'm sorry but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job!
 
 And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing
 he'd never gone to work that morning.
 
 "There might be something extra in it for you, "says the Pope.
 
 Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in
 behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting
 the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.
 
 "Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleads the worried driver, but
 the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
 
 "Oh, dear God, I'm gonna lose my license," moans the driver.
 
 The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop
 approaches,but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on
 the radio.
 
 "I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.
 
 The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped
 a limo going a hundred and five.
 
 "So bust him," says the Chief.
 
 "I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop.
 
 The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!"
 
 "No, I mean really important," said the cop.
 
 The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"
 
 Cop: "Bigger."
 
 Chief: "Governor?"
 
 Cop: "Bigger."
 
 "Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"
 
 Cop: "I think it's God!"
 
 Chief: "What makes you think it's God?"
 
 Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur!!"

thepits - how do I know it is you that posted the above

It's getting like those old Spy Films, where when the spys met they had a special phrase

<1st spy> The llama is a quadruped which lives in the big rivers like the Amazon.
<2nd spy> It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey.
<1st spy> But it is provided with fins for swimming.

<2nd spy> Llamas are larger than frogs.
