Optimus,

Thank you for the welcome (lil' gal, heh-heh). Hope I can entertain as well as whine for help.

I do note that there seem to be women on the board. Yay!
Some questions just don't translate.

HikerNot (aka Doug... I assume?)

The 'Hiker' nom d'email is a litle overstated. Most of my hiking is glorified dayhiking (but far and up!) in the Canadian Rockies. I manage to get there every other year or so. I plan to (dream of) taking my bike on the Icefield's Parkway and someday (soon, I hope) I will.

I haven't done anything w/ my profile. Maybe I should.

So the logging in thing doesn't always seem to take...

Welcome Hiker,

Let's hear about your bike!

I have to help keep them in line? Argh! All right then.

I've got a silver '04 w/ABS. Added the flyscreen (with obligatory cursing at the mounting arrangment) and clear lenses.

I have it in mind to ride down to the AMA Women's Conf June 2006, so I'm going to try to add a few things to make that a better trip (new seat, maybe hardbags, hyperlites.) I live in Michigan, so it's an adventure trip for me. Plenty of fodder for discussion.

Hiker.....the next thing new members do is post pics of their ride......and off course, tell us about your ABS.....that is one of the most contested topics around here.

You will like it here, there is something for everyone and the people, are mostly nice and carefree.

BTW......I hope you realize that I was pulling both yours and JohnR's chain with the member number assignments.....I'm just a prankster at heart.

Sigh, OK. What's the easiest way to post a picture?

Can't be that hard...

Hiker,

I have a similar problem if I use the FireFox browser instead of MS Explorer. Explorer logs me in automatically when I select any section, even Pat's and Members sections. Looking above the blue bar above I see the icon with the label "Log out[CycleRob]", telling me I'm logged in and my (rear wheel) avatar and ID will brand the post. The FireFox browser doesn't log me in - - - even after I jump thru all the hoops, kick it, bend it, and change advanced settings. Very frustrating! I hope it's for some high security reason and not just because it's buggy software.

You may also want to reconsider your surf-at-work habit. The boss, if he wants to, can easily see records of where you've been - - - times, dates, places, etc. That could hurt you.

When this happens, I clear my cache and I clear all my cookies.
Then I close the browser and restart it.
I come back to the site and I log in with "save password" checked.
When the firefox window comes up, I tell it to never remeber.

From them on the board cookie auto-logs me in and firefox ignores its security for this forum.

I'm using Safari, which makes me log in twice. Don't know why, it just seems the first try doesn't 'take'.

No worries, I just need to check if I'm logged in.

And you're right Cyclerob, that's a habit I need to break. Starting tomorrow.

If anyone is still having log in issues, feel free to PM me.

Hiker - some poeple have to log in twice before it "Takes." I"m not sure why - its a bug I tried to fix, but cant! I guess we'll just live with it! You know you are properly logged in if it says up top "Log out [Hiker]"

About the shirts - we had a membership "marathon" where I had a few shirts to give to new members. They are all gone, and I had one extra Small sized shirt and Hiker was close enough to the member drive that I just sent it out.. I guess it fit Hiker??

Hiker · Post by **Hiker** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 3:44 pm

It fit just fine, thanks!

I'm also using someone's advice for logging in. If you log in to your messages, it takes it the first time.

Ahh, ok good tip. Thanks.

I began logging onto the Playhouse and the double tap requirement stopped.

Just have to join and pay (hint, hint).

Where else can a 'LIFETIME" of pleasure be had for $60.

Oooops, forgot. Welcome aboard, Hiker.

Thanks, Bill. If you're hinting I should opt for the lifetime donation...well there's always next year.

It's a great board.
