MEMO
To: Head Mama at I Hate Dialysis
From: Gerald Lively
Subject: A Real Complaint
Date: 28 August 2013
For the last three months, logging in has become a dueling exercise with a stubborn computer - your computer or perhaps your ISPs server.
Since early Summer the guard at the gate wouldn't let me in. And your computers attitude is a bit prickly. Your computer's favorite tactic is to inform me that either the name is incorrect or the password is wrong. It tells me what to do, I do it but the first try is never good. If a second attempt fails, it has instructions on how to obtain a new password. I did that and once it told me that someone already has that password. Then I go back with a freshly minted old password and most often it lets me in. In July I couldn't get in for a couple of weeks.
If you are sending me a message, like stay away, tell me. There is always someone who does not approve of my straight forward no BS answers on serious questions. Tell me - do you still like me - - do I have to continue to do battle at the gate? Or have I been demoted to the curmudgeon section?

We still love you, Gerald! :cuddle;
-
Awwwww. But if your status has changed to curmudgeon, consider that an honor! Curmudgeonhood has to be earned! :2thumbsup;
Still love you!

Don't think it's the server Gerald because I'm not seeing any issues and I've had to log in cold from a couple of places.
-
I agree with Aleta--IHD has a lot of curmudgeons, and I love 'em all! It's pretty hard to keep a sunny disposition nowadays, especially when you have serious health issues.
Btw, I've also been having a little trouble logging in lately. The sign-in page says I'm entering an incorrect password, so I have to re-enter it, then everything is OK.

No problems while at home or on iPhone. I use IE 9 and Chrome, but have not used Firefox much. Thing that pops in my head is an update on ones pc either done or not, virus/ firewall issue, setting in browser or time to clean cache & history. Much easier to figure out knowing everything before it started and day of start and being in front of pc.

A few times of late I have not been able to log in to the server
Comes up server unavailable???

The damn thing blocked me out yesterday. The box that says "forever" does not work. I just now got in after three attempts. http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/Smileys/classic/Kitkatz_Big_Stick.gif

Hand raised! It happens to me. I think we (as in you and me)need to up date to IE 9. After you do it to your computer come do it to mine.
I can't get "chat" for the same reason. Just have not done it yet.

So sorry you've been having trouble. Sluff is our resident tech specialist and I will let him know.
Thanks!

I will check into it. I had a problem one time and thought it was a fluke. I don't think we could survive without Lively entertainment. Not sure if there is much I can do unless we go down a level of security. I will find out. I will be gone this weekend but I will work on this next week.
