Not sure where else to pose this technical question.. but... I notice when I log onto collarme, that when I click on message boards I am showing up as a guest. I need to log in there again. Is this normal? Seems to me that it didnt used to happen this way.
Thanks and my apologies for the technical question

Status: offline 		no... but now that you mention it.... I have been logging onto collarme directly from the gmail webpage. I will try logging on from IE after dinner and see if that makes a difference.
Will let you know... thanks for your help :)

I was about to ask why you don't just put it in your favorites and get here from there, but I realized if you do not have 100% physical control of the computer, you might not want some things in your regular favorite places.

If that is the case, you can setup another user account on the computer usually and have every kinky site you want in your favorites, they are seperate for each user.

Now, I think I can help you even if this is the case, when I logon it is transparent, but I notice that the end of the URL is bhcp=1. Now if you are on a website on a customized startpage, the cookie might not follow through the links because it may have been temporarily deleted. If this is the case, it is restored when you log off. This may be a security measure. So far, that is the only explaination that I can come up with.

Now if you can simply Google for collarchat and it logs in automatically, import THAT particular URL to the favorites wherever they are.

When I was using Linux, I don't think the bhcp=1 was on the back of the URL, but I am not sure, but be aware, the cookie is not encrypted. And I know that for my system. I manually imported the cookie from 98SE. Of course XP might encrypt the cookies but I am not sure. But I know an unencrypted cookie will work.

I never installed Linux, just ran it off the disk. So no cookies or nothing. No internet cache, hmmm, this is starting to sound good. Anyway, Linux would save login info, but it was in a RAMdrive I think, it is gone when you reboot.

When I made the transition to XP a few weeks ago (yup) it seemed to get along with this site and Usenet, but I am on another forum as well, and now every time I want to post there I have to reenter the info. But then it works only until reboot.

Hope this helps, even if not a direct solution maybe some ideas.

ORIGINAL: Termyn8or

Wait, how are you logging on from gmail ? Is it an online page with some of your favorites there ? Like a "customize my homepage" thing ?

No... what I meant was.. I open my gmail.. read my stuff.. then go to the browser bar at the top of the page and type in collarme.com.  I have a short cut to gmail on my desk top. What I did try was to open up internet explorer, which defaults to google. I went to collarme.com from that page, and the problem still exsisted.
And you are right.. I do share this computer. I am just careful to clear the history after each time I log on. A bit of a pain, however a small price to pain for deception:(


Now, I think I can help you even if this is the case, when I logon it is transparent, but I notice that the end of the URL is bhcp=1. Now if you are on a website on a customized startpage, the cookie might not follow through the links because it may have been temporarily deleted. If this is the case, it is restored when you log off. This may be a security measure. So far, that is the only explaination that I can come up with.

I am not sure I understand this. I will have to look at the url more closely next time I log on.
Thanks for your suggestions.

I have no understanding of how cookies work.... I know that I have www.collarme.com  listed as an acceptable site for use of cookies. Other than that, I am at a loss. It is still happening, even when I enable cookies for the site. As for encryption, etc... no clue:(
I guess I will just have to say the serenity prayer on this one;)

Status: offline 		Do not clear your cache and cookies unless you get the blue screen of death on the web. Can I make it any clearer ? DO NOT DO IT.

Anyway, realize that you are not AT collarme.com right now, you are at collarchat.com.

Anyway, about the clearing of the cache, the reason you don't do it is because it is impossible. Windows simply makes it invisible to you, it is still there. Even if you think you are cunning and decrease the size of your internet cache, it appears to delete the files, but somehow if you increase the size back up, they reappear.

I am telling you that all you do by clearing the cache is to make the files unavailable to you, they are still there, they are still evidence, and that is the way Windows is designed.

Anyway, collarchat is different than collarme, so that may be the crux of the problem. My mind is mush, it is late. I'll go find a political thread to cause trouble in or something and then go to bed. I'll be baaaaack.

The worst that can happen is you will notice that the first time you visit a website again after clearing it is that it may load a little slower as all those little graphics and such are no longer on your hard drive.

That only happens if you try to delete the history manually as the index.dat file still remains intact and can rebuild your history from that file. If you use the tools built into IE to do the job it clears the index.dat file as well.
