    Default Just Wondering

    Can anyone explain why when reading the s/butt threads and others, I obvisously see not only my own name but sometimes "guests" also? I am aware that before the hacker's it was possible to read some of the forum, but was under the impression that now you have to sign in for all. Marian.

    Hello Marian
    I did send a reply to you on this,however I am now also a bit confused !?
    Up to now I still believe that Guests can view certain Threads and Posts!?? But cannot reply!?/
    I have also asked about this in a Message to Tony, so will await his reply!
    I could be completely wrong???
    However this Screenshot I have just taken now at 1.10pm our time in Australia,and it still shows Guests looking in!???
    So as I said I too am now confused!

    #6 Doc. Now I am even more intrigued!
    I did receive your response thank you, to cut a long story short hubby took my new laptop and left me an ancient relic.[Not me] and his broken tablet. It took me two hours this morning just to set up. I've had to change modums and all sorts to sign in [laptop] under daughter's name without her old password, [she could not remember it] how that was achieved I don't know. I'm now on Firefox instead of Google to boot. Dare not log off for fear of defeat later.

    As an aside it's the first time I have been moved from s/butt to main forum, it's usually vice versa!

    Hi Marian
    Hopefully later when its time for most of the UK to awaken haha! I will get a reply from Tony!
    As said I too am a wee bit confused at all this!??
    I actually tried Yesterday to Log Off ,to see if I could get in as a Guest to read whatever,but it wouldn't allow me ,at first I wondered why,but on a bit of thought realised that once one has actually registered with the site,as all you details etc are locked in,then it will request that you Login,before you can Read anything!
    So I still don't know if Guests can or cannot Read anything! See below Pics! I am sure they can!!
    But that Screenshot sure shows Guests looking in??
    Capture Guests.jpg This says it all !!
    Bamboozled!
    Cheers

    Capture Welcome.jpg As does this!! Exactly what I told you in my reply Marian!

    We will leave you on the open Forum Marian,haha! Scuttlebutt is as you know only for bad! things LOL
    only kidding,but you know what I mean!
    Hope that old ancient relic is reliable till Hubby returns!
    That was a long Drive for you to GW.?

    Hi Doc, I don't appear to have the welcome option at present, but will check on new laptop when returned. Don't want to mess around with this one too much!
    The guests were on s/butt which I did not think possible.

    Gray_marian, just a tip do not stay logged in or should I say always log off. If you don't you leave yourself open to all kinds of things by not doing. I have to discipline myself to remember to do it. This was mainly when using the mob ph to access the site when away from lap top. Richard
