How Does This Work??

Bro. Bob, I don't know what kind of relationship you have with your computer, but if you talk to her kindly and treat her nice, she'll respond in kind.

Well, as long as you can start a thread, you can also participate in polls, post answers, etc. You don't have to do anything else. You are only restricted to post in certain forums if you are not a Baptist. You may need a password to the Members forum, and definitely the Men's Private forum (requirements of which are: 50+ posts, 18 years or older, etc.) You may not ask for the password to the Women's Private forum (but you knew that one already)....

When you are able to post on the BB (as you have done above), the line on the left should say: >> Hello, Pastor Bob 63 [log out]

Pastor Bob -

I checked your account and the computer says that you should be able to perform all of the functions that the site allows. Obviously, there is a fluke in the system. We are upgrading soon (a week to ten days, I believe) and hopefully this will correct your problems. There are other bugs happening with the current system as well.

On behalf of the administartion, I apologize for the problems you are experiencing. I'm sure the webmaster will do what is necessary to correct the problem.

I will make it a point to e-mail you after the upgrade and check your status.

Hello Pastor Bob. I'm sorry you're having trouble at the BB at the moment, and I hope it will be staightened out. It's good to have you here. Welcome to the BB!
In Our Saviour, Abby

 

Hello Brother Bob -

We were going to update sometime ago but received a report that the new version had several bugs in the system. As soon as they are sorted out, we will go forward with it. I'm sorry I can't be more definite on the progress.

The webmaster also checked your account and found the same thing I did. We are aware but as of right now, helpless. Again, my apologis and we will keep you informed.

- Clint

 

I understand that the webmaster suggested deleting all cookies in your computer. Have you tried that?

 

Welcome to the parts of the board you can use, Pastor Bob

 

Hi Pastor Bob -

Since I do not have your e-mail address and you do not have Private messaging available, I will tell you here how to do this here. I am only familiar with Windows systems, perhaps a Mac user may want to give instructions on this as well.

Go to "Start" on your computer and left click.
Go to "Settings" and then to "Control Panel" and left click .
Go to the icon called "Internet Options" and double click.
You will see a button that says "Clear Cookies" about halfway down on the page called "General" under the heading "Temporary Internet files." Click that button once and follow whatever prompts may come up.
You will have to log back in to the Baptist Board to post.

I hope this helps.

 

Brother Bob -

I just sent you this e-mail but I am going to post it here as well in case anyone else encounters this same problem.

It occured to me that you may have your computer set to not accept cookies.

I am assuming that you use a windows system. Try following this set of instructions:

Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Control Panel"

Double click "Internet Options" and click the tab marked "Privacy"

Move the sliding dial to "Medium" by grabbing it with your cursor and clicking and holding.

Click "Apply".

If you have been set on anything higher, your computer has been refusing your log-in cookie.

 

pastor bob,

if that doesn't work, you may want to try either upgrading your browser or using a different one. i've done that sort of thing a lot, so i'd be happy to advise you/walk you through it if you want.

if you need it, i'd really like to help you so don't be shy.

computers are like salvation - broad is the road that leads to frustration

 

Excellent! I wish it had occured to me sooner!
