Deleting "cookies" is a standard instruction to do when there is any kind of problem? Just check delete cookies and delete, right?

Tell me in detail how you do that for the citizen.com, please!

I use Firefox, so this won't work for those sad folks still clinging to that 1990s-era technology known as Internet Explorer.

1. Click "Tools"
2. Click "Options"
3. Click "Privacy"
4. Click "Show Cookies"
5. Scroll down the list until you come to "TheCitizen.com" and highlight it.
6. Click "Remove All Cookies"
7. Swear like a sailor for two minutes solid because you meant to click the singular "Remove Cookie" instead.

Hope this helps!

I had an e-mail from the citizen last week regarding "my password change request". Unfortunately I had not requested a password change. E-mailed web master and was informed that someone has been requesting password changes for different IDs and they (The Citizen)don't have the wherewithal to find them. Opinion was it was someone trying to either hijack IDs or just being annoying.

I believe it is someone going in and requesting a new password, on various bloggers, just to be annoying. Seems whenever I have a strong opinion and post it, it never fails that the next time I try and log in, someone has hit the button to request a new password for me. Oh well.... it's their little power trip, I guess.

It helps them overcome their 'short' comings and small brain syndrome.

After this post, whatta ya bet, I'll get an email from the citizen webmaster, stating that I have a new password!

That's why I have a NUK and a NUK_1 acct and wind up using both in between various password requests. Some idiot was requesting a new password about a dozen times a day. I know Git was feeling that love too from someone, and maybe he just got sick of it constantly.

It's a major flaw in this software where anyone can submit a password reset with no verification at all.

about four times a day currently. It is annoying. I guess that is the high point of someone's day, being able to pull that trick on some folks. Certainly a pretty mature attitude...wish I could get some of that. Keep the faith.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

If 100 things are said with one name or 50 each with two names, I don't see the difference!
I know everyone on here wants to know "who" is it that said such a bad thing about our candidate, but they simply don't have to know everyone before they can speak!
Does an author of a book know all of his readers? Strange bunch of dudes!

We know you don't see the difference, that's why you have at least 5 different names you post under.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

I don't, but why would you care if I had a hundred different names?
Do you want retribution?
Who are you by the way? Street Address, City, etc.
You are afraid that you won't know what to say, when!

I hope this is not the case! (deliberate screwing around with some bloggers by the paper).
I rather think it is ignorance at this point.
They can't hurt me much worse than something has lately.

We don't need another Bill O'Reilly on here! Oops, that did I it.

I don't believe it is the paper doing it, it is another blogger being annoying. Like NUK said, it's a glitch in the software they use. I emailed the Citizen about the problem, several weeks ago, and they admitted that this happens all of the time. I think that they can trace these bogus password requests, using the IP address of the computer that is requesting a new password - right?? And then they can nail the person.

You mean if too many passwords are given out the software goes crazy?
Why? Does it get stuck on "send em a new one every day?"

No, the software glitch is that anyone (tom, dick, or harry), can request a new password on another person (nit, nuk, main) and we then need to change it, even though we didn't request it. The glitch is that there is no password protect, or username protection, and anyone can request that we get new passwords, numerous times a day even.

Let me see if I understand you?

Main Stream can ask that Git Real, for instance, be given a new password?

May be, I suppose, but that doesn't explain why when you ask for a new password to cover the problem that the computer tells you that the names already exist and they can't be used either?

Sounds like an amateur setup to me!
We have idiots selling terrible stuff anymore. I just had some of my insurance transferred to another servicer....a hundred errors so far in the transfer and still not working!

There are no warranties, either!

Yup, I could request a new password, for Git, or anyone, and make them go through the hassle of receiving a new one, from the Citizen webmaster. Not sure about the other problem, when it tells you the name is taken.

But, I can almost change mine blindfolded now.

I'm beginning to think someone really really doesn't like me!

Also, I just now discovered that yahoo mail sends email from "webmaster@thecitizen.com" directly to the Spam folder.

Is your spam folder full of new passwords?

You were right.

Spmeone had a little party at 1:25 this afternoon and reset my password again.

Bastards.

I wonder if it would be so hard to have the Citizen's webmaster just comment out the code that allows automatic reset of passwords and force them to write a little email to have it reset?

they hit me at 1:25 pm.

You'd think Cal would/could trace these requests and connect the dots to find the perpetrator. They seem to be targeting liberals, ya think?

BTW, please come to the Democrat coffee gathering, next Sat. Jan 19, if you can make it!

Reset my password also! Twice.
I think it is something the newspaper did, probably unintentional, that has let them in!
They aren't commenting!

As a liberal posting here, a lot of people who disagree with me tend to mailbomb my email address with a lot of junk subscriptions to newsletters. Before I learned to hide my email address, I got blasted with hundreds of those things. I wrote a macro to purge my spam folder each time I logged in to my email program, but after turning the macro off last night I realized that all thecitizen.com stuff was now being treated as "spam".

I can tell you what is going to happen.
Soon we will be shut down for "repair" and may never show up again, but if it does, "everything will have to be redone, plus old names won't work anymore!

Good way to destroy a good thing.

Just fix it as it runs.
Spend a buck! (get references)

I'm back......

So, it's not just Nuk & I.

Maybe you are the one causing the problems?

would your avatar now be one of those old style airplane engines?

I yam what I yam....Popeye

It's a Pratt and Whitney R2800. The letter "R" denotes it's a "radial engine" and the "2800" is the cubic inch displacement (46 liters). It has 18 cylinders or two rows of nine cylinders with two spark plugs in each cylinder.

I can't tell the dash number but I suspect it's a Navy engine as it has high tension magnetos. This engine series was in the 2,000 horsepower range with one model as high as 2,800 HP.

It had a voracious appetite of purple gasoline (115-145 octane). Using the old tried and true fuel consumption formula, 1/2 pound of fuel per horsepower per hour, at max power you would burn about 166 gallons per hour. Of course gasoline was cheap back in yonder days. Back during the war, this engine was produced under license by Ford, Chevrolet, and Nash.

This engine was used to power many US fighter aircraft during the war and served in the civilian transport market well into the '60s.

Thank you for some good information. Only thing I question is 145 octane! Do you know what engine the old TBMs used in WWll and Korea?
("W"s old plane.)

Actually it was his father's old airplane.

The TBM and TBF used the Wright R2600.

The 115-145 fuel was strong stuff. Lots of tetra-ethyl lead was added along with other ingredients to fight detonation which occurred at high manifold pressures. Those old engines flying today operate in a "de-rated" mode as the current blend of avgas "called 100LL" can not tolerate high manifold pressures.

It would be my guess, Hack can log in but can't post. I've gone through this several times myself and had it clear up on it's own so as Clinton said I feel their pain. By the way, the $nit never did say what chain carried that 1/4 pounder McPizza.

I swapped from Explorer to Firefox--changed one thing wrong -- caused another!

But I had to ask the administrator. I got on and that just shows you can'nt keep a man down for long..
