Dr-Bob,
I'm at a public computer in a State of California Windows 2000 secure network. I have a public log-on. My last visit date is December 31, 1969. I can, at least today, access the "Current Board".
This all started while I was in the middle of my four week block by you. You admit updating something on August 18, 2004. Best I can see is it clobbered my log-in to Babble because I was blocked. But since this is such a vast site, it must be torturous to find the ailment. I want you know that as long as I can gain access to whatever boards are "Current" I don't have to keep bugging you.
My earlier concern was that on public computers, everything was fine, bothe last visit dates and full access to current boards. But at home, I had cleaned all vestiges of what might be setting up a behind the scenes caching situation, such that what my computer forgot the way my computer had been, and would boot the next time unaware of what was going on before. The Last Visit: date was December 31, 1969 and current boards were not available.
Well, now the same evidence is showing up on a totally "Naive" public system with no precognition of who I am or what Babble is all about.
Determination: bug must be on your end. Sorry.
What I caution is that after providing support to clients on MainFrame, Super-mini, and recently, Desktop/Network systems as an "A+" certified MCSE, these things tend to get worse and more "pandemic" if ignored. I'm sorry I don't have better knowledge of your system. Its also been awhile since I did this stuff on a daily basis. I could ferret out the problem for free as a gesture of thanks for your hardwork making Babble available. If I detect any details I think might apply, I'll post what I saw.
Thanx
Rod
