Log on question for JeffB

C_Miller · November 16, 2002, 04:31:40 AM

This is a question I've had for a while.

If i don't log off th FF and go to another website do I still show up as logged in on this site?

This from a fella that still stands in front of the refridgerator with a cup of coffee trying to figure out the lite.

thanks
C

C_Miller,

Good question.

I never log off so if you don't see my name in the list of members logged on, then you have the answer!

I've had 2 browsers logged into this site at the same time. Does that mean there are 2 of me here?

I think there is some way that determines whether you are active or not. Signal back and forth from your computer to FF. Just a guess on my part.

I do know that with the 2 browsers, I'm only logged in at one location.

The server checks for data transfer from you. if is not seeing any in a given length of time your username is removed from the logged in list. Sometimes, you will disappear if you take a long time to write a post or something.

That's good to know, thanks guys.

I don't know why I had that question but it was like having a popcorn kernel stuck in my teeth.

Doug in Utah gave me an idea about the 'fridge but I can't convince anyone to sit in there while I close the door.

C and Doug, Get a digital camera and put it in the fridge, set for a delayed exposure. Next time you go for a beer, retrieve the camera and load it into the puter. If you see anything, it means the light stays on. If you don't see anything, it either means the light goes off, or the trick didn't work. Keep repeating the experiment till you've had enough beer that you either forgot what the experiment was about, or you just don't care. ;D

Jeff,

Now we know what happened to those guys that used to post that we don't hear from anymore--------they took too long to post or something and disappeared.

I've been logged on at work and forgot to log off. Later that night when I get back on the FF, I'm still logged in. I think there's a box that, if checked, will log you off after a period of time?

Bro. Noble · November 18, 2002, 06:59:44 AM

I always stay logged in, a couple of times I have been logged in and also been a guest. When I clicked a link someone put up about a previous post on the forum when that post came up I was a guest but I could see that I was still logged on also. Is that an out-of-body experience?

Jeff · November 18, 2002, 04:39:49 PM

Den,

Why is what where?

Jeff · November 18, 2002, 04:42:16 PM

Noble, how do you know the guest was you? Have You All gone MAD??? :D

Ya'll eating that cronic wasting speed beef?

C_Miller · November 18, 2002, 06:29:30 PM

So "I transferr data, therefore I yam"?

Does the "or something" have anything to do with a fridgital camera and a case of Canadian Lager? DanG, I hope not!

Should I use the redeye setting when checking the 'fridge lite, I figure not til later in the experiment.

More paraphrasing:

   " I drink therefore I am" DanG ( I wished I said that)

   "I stink therefore..." Art Carney on the Honeymooners

   "I'm Pink therfore I am" Mary Kay

   Peggy Fleming "I rink..."

   Gotta go check the fridge to see if the light is lighting the lager that's lighter.

   time for the redeye setting.

Jeff,
Why is "logout" on your toolbar? I guess just to speed up something that happens anyway. To keep the "current activity" list accurate.

Jeff · November 19, 2002, 01:53:01 AM

Den,

You can login for a specified time, or login and stay logged in. I fyou stay logged on it actually means that you will log on automatically when you return to the site.

If you are using computor at an office or business or library or something like that you should ALWAYS use the log out button when you are done. Reason? Someone else could become our Den,

Change your passwors, make posts as you or whatever. If you are the only one that uses your computor or only those you really really really trust, I would choose stay logged in.

Den Socling · November 19, 2002, 04:47:35 AM

Jeff,

Of course! Now I understand login/out.

Did you read about the guy who checked Saddam Hussein's email? His password was press!

Jeff · November 19, 2002, 12:38:31 PM

I was just reading over my post from this morning. I can see by my grammer and spelling I have no business posting before 5:00 AM

I am a vegetable.

Tom · November 19, 2002, 12:40:34 PM

Ha!

Jeff is a Turnip.

:D

Jeff · November 19, 2002, 12:42:31 PM

I'll take turnip. ;D

Noble_Ma · November 19, 2002, 12:51:50 PM

Hey, they say root vegetables are good for you, so it can't be all bad ;D

whitepe · November 19, 2002, 06:17:39 PM

Hey,
I thought peas was the official FF vegetable?

Tom · November 19, 2002, 06:28:13 PM

Jeff might knock them off of their hill if he can figure out how to pay wages in turnips :D

Hmmmmm, Turnip Greens?

whitepe · November 19, 2002, 06:33:10 PM

I wouldn't turnip my nose at that. Lettuce get our
wages any way we can. You can't beet it.

woodmills1 · November 21, 2002, 03:20:21 PM

lettuce pray

Jeff · November 21, 2002, 04:36:21 PM

I probably should not add to this but can't resist. I heard that there is a vegetable whos name also describes a favorite southern pasttime. I'm not typeing it or saying it but it is a big round orange thing associated with Halloween.

O what the heck. Pumpkin ;D
