CBU's GPG FAQs

Recently cleared cookies and cache on my phone, and now when I switch it off and back on I get the message:

"the active user has changed, reload for the latest version"

when I open up the GPG, despite having the 'stay logged in' box ticked.
Not a huge problem, but any thoughts/suggestions?

If you clear your cookies then you have to login again. Cookies is how it knows who is logged on.

@Banana I'm not an expert on cookies but is it possible that this is a persistent cookie that might need to be allowed on the device? Would explain maybe the need to sign in each time.

Dunno. I thought the probably was a one off request to login after clearing cookies.

If one is being asked to login continually then I would clear cookies and cache again.

If the cookie worked on the device before and doesn't anymore then I would find that strange without some other change (e.g. a phone upgrade) having occurred in the interim. I've also never heard of the cookie being rejected by any device previously.

Can you not respond quite so quickly until a few people have asked or it makes a mockery of the whole thread.

Yeah, I logged in again and ticked the 'stay logged in' box, but now it logs me out, when I turn phone off, and also If I leave it on charge for a couple of hours.....which it never used to do.....and comes up with that message....

I keep having random posters put on ignore without me consciously doing anything. How do I take them off ‘ignore’ ?
Thanks

I can't see anyway this can happen. Would be interesting to see a couple of examples.

Like SC I assumed I was pressing something accidentally. Have never been to the ignoring button that Alex just directed me to.
There were 5 or 6 who appeared over time. All of them quite regular posters if that’s relevant ?

Yes done it accidently a few times when not looking where my finger is going and clicking on a username rather than a thread title.

we have built a new feature for rebus which is just a list of people he hasn’t got on ignore. It saves server power at GPG towers

Was there always a delete button for recently submitted posts? Or is that new?

Sorry, so that I have answered correctly, do you mean the option to delete a post (not actually a button)?

My understanding is you get 10 mins to edit or delete a post under the edit option. There is no separate delete button as such.

That’s what I thought. But then earlier I saw a separate delete button - and couldn’t work out if that was a new button or if I was going crazy.

Let me know if you see it again, there shouldn't be a button displaying.

You are going crazy but fortunately 'I can see a delete button psychosis' is quite treatable if you catch it in the first 10 minutes :sorted:Otherwise fatal ☠️

That seems a very short time frame.
I'm sure under a previous version it was an hour.

Thanks nocoat. It's a bit like learning a foreign language with a different alphabet to someone of my generation. Many thanks for the guidance, although I am pretty sure I did try that without success.

Are you on a laptop or a mobile ? If you let me know perhaps I can do a screenshot and point exactly where you mean. If you are saying that you can see the button but when you push it it doesn’t work that’s one for our maintenance and odd job man @Les Beeavinu

Have just noticed on “New Posts” , a little purple circle with an “L” denoting that I’ve posted in that thread.(& how many times)

Is this a new thing or am I really unobservant ?

How long is it that you can't access a thread, before clicking on it takes you to the first post? Rather than the last post you haven't read.

No idea. But it's hardly a problem. When it happens to me I just pressed the "New Post" button. Probably less than a second delay.

Agree it’s a right ballache . Been about five months now but being terribly British I haven’t previously complained

There is a man who doesn’t care about user experience. FYI it adds about 10 seconds a time, each time, for me.
