An annoying thing about the forum software settings...

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 5:19 am

I think the reason the quick reply goes unnoticed is because there is no box to type in you have to click on the link. Firenico solves that problem.

Download the new firefox with private browsing so you don't have to delete your cookies, cache, and history whenever you want to go Jug-hunting via the interwebz, which in turn will not log you out of NICO. or if you're gay and not jug-hunting on the internet, go to "USER PROFILE" or "USER CP" and go to account setting or user settings and there's an option in there to change it to "stay logged in"

I'll check into it and see if there is anything we can do. For now though, I'd just go ahead and log in first thing, that way you won't have to worry about wasting your time re-typing.

Guys, I appreciate the input, but perhaps I already know what I'm doing when it comes to browsers (I'm already using the latest firefox). The way to fix the issue is not a workaround, but for the admins to get to work on that quick reply button. This is the only place where I've encountered such a problem.

I know what this guys talking about, it's happened several times to me. It's nothing major though. Just don't write a story-long quick reply.

What you want is when you click quick reply the forum tells you, you arent logged in?Well that would work.

But i still think the problem is far too isolated to demand a change in forum software.

Nonetheless, since this bothers you so much, i would imagine by now you it would be embedded in your memory to log in first?I guess you really cant teach an old dog new tricks.

Why would it necessitate a change in forum software? I'm not asking that we migrate to vBulletin, IPB, or anything else. It necessitates a fix; that's all.

Yeah, it bothers me a lot so I usually remember to login, but there are still a few times where I'll forget.

I wish my problems were as jovial as your's.

I use the quick reply option most of the time and I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. You hit post and all your text is gone and you have to re-type it all.

It sucks.

Post by **Jesda** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 5:24 pm

I'm all for switching back to vB

Post by **Zamba** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 6:54 pm

Umm...no. I'm not using FIRENICO (never even of heard of it). The quick reply button is right next to the "forum jump." It's also to the left of the "print" and "email" buttons.

JOVIAL is a high-order computer programming language similar to ALGOL, but specialized for the development of embedded systems (specialized computer systems designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions[1], usually embedded as part of a complete device including mechanical parts).JOVIAL is an acronym for "Jules Own Version of the International Algorithmic Language."[1] The "International Algorithmic Language" was a name originally proposed for ALGOL 58. It was developed to compose software for the electronics of military aircraft by Jules Schwartz in 1959. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the U.S. Air Force adopted a standardized CPU, the 1750A, and nowadays JOVIAL normally produces programs for that processor. JOVIAL was standardized during 1973 with MIL-STD-1589 and was revised during 1984 with MIL-STD-1589C. It is still much used to update and maintain software on older military vehicles and aircraft. There are three dialects in common use: J3, J3B-2, and J73.As of 2009, JOVIAL is still maintained actively and distributed by the USAF JOVIAL Integrated Tool Set (ITS) Program Office, and a commercially supported JOVIAL Compiler System is available from DDC-I and Software Engineering Associates, Inc. (SEA). The program office helps organizations reuse their old, reliable JOVIAL software by rehosting and retargeting the software to newer, more modern computer platforms and environments. The Jovial Program Office (JPO) is still active, until August of 2009. JOVIAL rehosting and retargeting for the JPO is currently done by Software Engineering Associates, Inc. (SEA).The current standard package (the "integrated tool set" or ITS) contains a compiler, a MIL-STD-1750A assembler, linker, and simulator/debugger. It is available hosted from (runs on) either a DEC VAX, Sun SPARC, Apple Mac,or a PC running DOS or Windows. Versions are also available that target (produce executable code for) the Intel 80386 (and derivatives), MIPS R4000, PowerPC, AP-101, Zilog Z8002, Motorola 68000, and IBM System z processors.Notable systems using JOVIAL include the Milstar Communications Satellite, Advanced Cruise Missile, B-52, B-1B, B-2 bombers, C-130, C-141, and C-17 transport aircraft, F-111, F-15, F-16 (prior to Block 50), and F-117 fighter aircraft, LANTIRN, U-2 aircraft, E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft, Navy Aegis cruisers, Army Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, F100, F117, and F119 jet engines, the NORAD air defense & control system (Hughes HME-5118ME system) and RL-10 rocket engines. Airborne radar systems with embedded JOVIAL software include the APG-70, APG-71 and APG-73[2].The National Airspace System (NAS), the flight data processing program at the heart of the US and UK Air Traffic Control System, uses JOVIAL.

Cliff note, I was being facetious. JOVIAL is very complicated. I am just joshing with you.

It sure doesn't, but what it does have is a link for a window to pop-up and give you an ability to quickly post instead of having an ENTIRE page RE-load in order to give a reply.

Quick reply is very useful on those very busy pages.

BTW, I'm with the O.P. very annoying when you forget to log in. Yes, you have a setting to keep you logged into a computer, but that's a little dangerous if you use a community computer because you can easily forget to log out. Sure would be nice if when you click on that quick reply hyperlink, and you're not logged in, that it'll instead take the main page you're on, to the "You must be logged in, in order to post," page.

Hi Tom!

I'm rather surprised that the administrators have failed to fix a simple yet but very annoying bug.

Simple?

OK, Mr. Designer, step into my office. You're tasked with the fix.

Be advised, that stack of paper you see? The one that's twice your height? That's my "to-do" list. Don't let it fall on you.

You've been offered several solutions. Contrary to popular belief, the VERY few of us who actually work on this site, are not sitting around awaiting your list of minor annoyances so that we can drop everything and fix them.

For now, I recommend:

Quit forgetting to log in.Stay logged on.Use a different scheme.Use a different browser.Don't forget to log on.Don't log out.Use a browser that keeps you logged in.Change up your scheme.

p.s. We're in the middle of several major upgrades. Hold tight.

Post by **Zamba** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:17 pm

With all due respect, I don't like to stay logged on as I'm paranoid and I've set my browsers to delete my cookies often, but that shouldn't prevent you from fixing reported bugs, especially when they're so easily replicated.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:33 pm

I'm glad you're so well-versed on my calendar and my available resources.

For now, you'll have to decide if your poor memory is more or less important than your paranoia.

Post by **Zamba** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:50 pm

I beg to differ. It's an issue of poor usability more than it is one of poor memory. Besides, users shouldn't have to change their settings just because of a problem on one website. I'm sure you can understand that.

I also beg to differ.... the issue is THE IDIOT BEHIND THE KEYBOARD FORGETTING TO LOG IN!!!

EVERYONE else posting here managed to remember, why can't you?You have been offered many solutions, but it seems you are more focused on pissing and moaning about a problem that is user based, not forum based.

Post by **Zamba** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:22 pm

Sorry ozzie, but your trolling doesn't work.

When a window pops up welcoming you to type a message, only for you to submit it and tell you that you've not logged in, with your post being gone, that's a forum based issue. Besides, I remember to log on most of the time and forget only rarely. But when I do forget and lose large posts, it's quite troublesome. You have to remember we're humans without infallible memory. Strangely enough, I've never seen another forum with this issue that you argue is "user based." Your statement that "everyone else here" remembers is categorically false. Several people have indicated that this has occurred to them. Hence, this is a usability issue.

Everyone who posted here had to be logged in to do so.

Also, if you are going to quote me, make sure you you read it right."EVERYONE else posting here managed to remember, why can't you?"

Post by **Zamba** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:40 pm

Obviously they had to be logged in just as I did, but if you bothered to use your great reading skills you'll see that others share my complaint, so the argument is a bit worthless.

Keep being a smartass and you won't need to worry about logging in.

Being able to rebut other users' arguments without personal attacks is being a smartass, and yet you don't care one iota about the flaming? Get real AZhitman. I've tried to help plenty of members in other threads but if that's how you prefer to manage a forum, then feel feel free to carry out that threat.

Post by **Ozzie** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:44 pm

It's still an issue you could manage yourself.

THAT is being a smartass. AND using a personal attack.

I just solved your problem. Permanently. You can go whine elsewhere.

EDIT For those of you who chose to be patient: The software issue is on the developer's plate to fix this week. Enjoy.
