Logging out seems to work for me. If I do it close my browser and then come back I'm not logged in.

Maybe something has gone wrong with your cookies. Try deleting the thetownend ones, then when you login click the login button at the top and make sure the "always stay logged in" (or whatever) box isn't clicked.

On the other note, if I've got both my laptop and my computer upstairs set to login themselves then they just override which one is logged in when I use them. I never like to be too far away from the TEF.

cheers ben.

i clicked the login button and didn't realise there is ANOTHER login stage where there was a box ticked saying keep me logged in.

i was much happier when there was only ever one way to log in. so far i've seen 3

so confusing

:D
It's still the same way of logging in, well sort of. It's just that the login button gives you a few more options.

You used to be able to log in on the index page of the old forum as well didn't you?

Errr...

If you've ticked the "log me in automatically when I visit the site" button then every time you visit the site it will log you in. Is that so hard to understand? We had one on the old site you know.

If you're concerned that you're logged in all the time that you're not on the site then you probably worry about whether that light in the fridge goes off when you shut the door as well.

I think you should be concerned because someone could quite easily hijack your account and post all manner of things. Not that I have ever done such a devious thing.

That's a bit over the top magic.

Why such a big deal about staying logged in though?


Title: Re: Why am i always logged in???
Post by: magicroundabout on Friday, July 18, 2008, 14:41:00
there wasn't a big deal it just threw me as i didn't realise there was a third log in point with this option but a sarcastic remark wasn't required for a simple question

So does the light stay on when one closes the fridge door or not then?

Safes have lights? I have never seen a light in a safe and so does that mean that it turns on when the door is closed? Confusing!


Title: Re: Why am i always logged in???

I put my phone camera on a timer and put it in my fridge earlier. The light definitely goes off.

HMmmm, at the risk of having the piss ripped out of me, why not just push the switch on the side of the door in?


Title: Re: Why am i always logged in???
Post by: flammableBen on Monday, July 21, 2008, 15:23:25
I was worried that the switch might be a double bluff. A decoy for the light coming on fully when another secret switch is closed and the door is shut.


Title: Re: Why am i always logged in???
Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, July 21, 2008, 15:42:50
I think that the switch maybe a red herring.

We all think that when the door is closed then the switch is depressed causing the circuit to be broken.

However maybe the Fridge makers have struck a deal with the electric company to make us THINK that the light goes off but really it doesn't, therefore the light stays on meaning that our leccy bills are higher. Making more profit for the leccy chaps whom then pass on a cut to the fridge makers.

The plot thickens.

Why not just drill a "spy" hole, (not a glory hole), through the door on your fridge, then you can see the light go off as you close it.  Works a treat I can tell you.

The switch might turn the light off when the door is open. But when the door is closed another mechanism kicks in to turn the light back on again.

It's a conspiracy I tell thee.

Get one of them mini digital video cameras. Put it in the fridge. Close the door. Wait 5 minutes. Get it out. Watch the video. See if it goes dark.

God I wish I hadn't started this.

Put the cheese in the freezer.

Why don't freezers have lights?

When was the last time you had to change a fridge lightbulb?


Title: Re: Why am i always logged in???
Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 16:35:32
Now you mention it my current fridge light bulb needs replacing, never really thought about changing it though.

So my fridge light is now off when the door is both open and closed, FREAKY.


Title: Re: Why am i always logged in???
Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 16:43:28
How do you know the switch isn't broken and it's off when the door is open and on when closed?

I don't know, when was the last time you had to change a fridge lightbulb?

Is there a punchline coming for this?

You see, this whole fridge light on or off when the door is closed is not as simple as it may seem.

About four months ago...a fridge without a light on when you open it is wierd.  (Is that the worst punchline ever?)

I want strobe lighting when I open my fridge. And some bassey tunes. With electronic beats. And a horn section.
