D_dup3 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Once we could scan topics & hit the "reply" or "post new topic" buttons & the proper form would come up, preceded by the log-on form. A handy, all-in-one-step method! Lately I've noticed that this is not allowed; instead a notice that "no such member exists" shows up when trying the method described above. It's a small change & not very inconvenient difference but I wonder what prompted the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curve Dominant Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I'm experiencing no such difficulty. Eric Vincent (ASCAP) www.curvedominant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philter Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Same problem here. Mac OSX 10.3, Firefox 0.8. It's a pain, the DUC has the same basic flaw. I bet it will diminish post rates if many people experience the same flaw. ---------------------------- Phil Mann http://www.wideblacksky.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknputer Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Tip: if you click on the Login link on that "No Such User" page, you will go to the login page & THEN you will be returned to the Reply page after logging in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_dup3 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Thanks, CK, but that's a bit obvious & what I did the first few times... ...Interesting that Curve's not encountering this; I wonder why? &, of course, I still wonder what motivated the change...Mr. Q?

D_dup3 Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 must I put this on "auto-bump"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ani Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I've not experienced this either; but I'm on a Windows platform. Maybe it's a Windows vs. Mac crisis. Uh oh, no more autobump... this thread will take off on it's own now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_dup3 Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 Thanks for your comments, Ani, but I don't it's a platform issue. At risk of seeming even more repetitious than I do for importuning an answer to this question, let me redescibe this since I think those who claim not to have this "problem" might not understand me: When not logged in try replying to a thread. Not allowed? Sent back to log in? I thought so! Well, we used to be able to hit "reply" & then log on & fill out a reply page all in one easy step. Anyone who can still do that? All I wonder is (1) why the change was enacted or (2) if it really isn't universal, why it's occuring sometimes [ although it's been consistent as far as I can tell for a month or more].
