He emailed me this morning, it appears he's having problems logging in.

From the email-
Quote:
This morning I ran a program  " crapcleaner "  and it wiped out all reconition of me from the forums.  I can't even re-register or get in touch with anyone to help.  My PC keeps coming back to me with an error message saying  in effect that  #1   I'm already logged in /  #2 that  I   "in effect "   don't exist .    I even used the  "RESTORE " program and get the same results.


Hope someone can figure this out for him.

His account appears to have disappered! I can't find it, only another Caveman who isn't him... weird!
I'll let Pete know Wink

He may have registered with a different name & changed it to Caveman.
There is a caveman16 with 170 posts.

Need to know a little more - a link to one of his posts would help a lot.

Hi Mark - he will have done this somehow. His system probably had an old cookie & when he signed on it used that.

Not our problem. As long as he can log in. If he can't he need s to use his old username & I can asign a new pw which he can then change.

I agree Pete! That does seem the most plausible explanation....

I'll pass that on to him, if he isn't already reading the thread.

Thanks Wink

One thing I noticed from that old thread. Pass your mouse cursor over his screen name. He's caveman16 now but originally registered under the name caveman1

Easy to forget little things like that.

What do you expect from a caveman?

Should we tell him about the wheel?  Grin  Grin

I got this email from caveman today.

...




I think it means this:


     Hey Congo,   I need your help.   My PC crashed and I cannot get into the forum.  [ sorta giving you guys a break  ].
This has happened before.   The problem is the "cookie"  in my PC must have got messed up.

      Would you bring this to the attention of whomever it is that takes care of these matters.   I can't even get in touch
with any of the members except through the  E-Mail..    [  I need a "working" cookie ] .

       Your Friend,   caveman

                           

I suggested he temporarily disable firewalls, popup blockers, antispyware etc while he logs in here, also promised to post a thread for him here but that's been done!   Wink

This is like a rescue scene straight from movie eh?

HANG ON CAVEMAN !     Grin

Caveman sent me another email. He's still having problems logging in.

He said a kind admin was good enough to send him another temporary username and password last time this happened.

Anyone have any suggestions for him?

     Hey Congo,      THE REST PERIOD IS OVER FOR YOU GUYS.      Grin Grin Grin     [ THANK YOU my friend ]

     I keep you guys busy trying to stay one step ahead of me.  Grin

     Here's what happened.  I GOOFED UP AGAIN.  Embarrassed 

     I brag about you guys to all my friends.   I cause more problems than  I'm worth.   Please accept my apologies.   I am VERY sorry.
 
     While working on my PC the other day,   I opened   an  "antivirus program"  to get rid of it as it was about to expire.   I tried to delete it in every manner I knew of ,  BUT couldn't get it out of the PC.

     I than took the folder apart one piece at a time and sent all of them to the  "trash can".    After  "DELETING" the file  [at last] ,  I than ran a check on the PC to make sure everything was working OK before emtying the  "trash".        I really messed-up because I overlooked the  " Favorites"  on-line sites.

     Then the entire PC crashed and I could hardly even use the PC at all.    I did the only thing I knew to do.   I re-installed  the recovery CDs  and started over from scratch.      

     You guys know the rest from my attempts  to "GET IN" the forums.    I hope to some day get enough knowledge to know my way around the PCs better.   I study as much as possible  and with you guys always so helpful to me,  how could I go wrong ?   

     Hey  Pete,   sorta feel sorry for causing you so much work.   That's so nice of you to  "put up" with me .

     Hey Dave,   I started with four flat sides to that wheel .    I've only got two sides  and a hole to go.  Thanks for helping me  "chip away " at that stone. Grin

     All you guys are really something,  I  am so appreciative and thankful for having so many friends  helping me.
