Wandering Off Topic

[Eleanor]

Hello everyone.  I am able to post again after not being able to for a while,  every time I tried to post I got the message that my time had expired when posting,  to log out and in again to resolve the problem.  I am unable to log out when it happens,  or post or send private messages.   Just wondered if this has happened to anyone else on this forum.  It has nothing to do with my computer as it is a brand new MacBook Pro.  This has happened three times now.  I don't know how long I will be able to post this time.

Yes, it happens to me sometimes and I'm on a nearly new MacBook Air.  I shut down everything and then start again but this doesn't always work.

I am currently having to Log In every time I leave my computer for longer than half an hour.

I'm no expert but I'm wondering if this is the problem;

Under "related" it says "pinging a server in a Mac". Maybe this would help?

This didn't happen to me for years and years and I have always been on a Mac.  And I know that Sadie isn't on a Mac but has the same thing.

Having to keep on Logging In is a Forum problem.  I don't have this trouble anywhere else.

But thanks for trying.

I suppose I was thinking the problem was between your server and the forum's server, but as I said I'm no expert.

I've had the same problem on my android phone... So it's not a mac problem

It is all to easy to think it's Apple when obviously it isn't.  And besides, it happens to others.  But it's okay.  I manage.

I've had trouble logging on too - I put in my (correct) details and it says "not recognised" - I thought I'd been banned for a while but I persevered and after 4 or 5 attempts I got on.

I think that some hoped that I had bogged off when it got really difficult.  As if.

And of course, you can't complain because you can't get in.

I can't answer for others, but I didn't really notice your absence. We all come and go.

That is even funnier.

I never said it was, but the link I provided points out that Mac's have the ability to check connection speeds.

I don't think so G-Unit,  as I have logged in go to send a message [short one]. and the same thing happens.

Well as I said, I'm no expert, but if it is the forum I wonder why it isn't affecting everyone.

could it be web browser or a combination of browser &  OS ?

I'm using Chrome & Windows 7 - no problem - to date.

Windows 10, chrome, the problem I have is being let back in.
