Stallard12 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Not a big deal, but you experts might be able to explain it to me. When I view the Forum items, I can use my 'back button' to exit a story and move to the next one. However, if I SIGN IN and then either 'reply' or just view, the 'back' function doesn't work, it just flips back and to between the story and the sign in box. I have to exit WW and come back in. Is it me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I am not even sure I understand what you are doing! I have no problems going back and too between posts when logged in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi Stallard12 I've just tried it both when I am logged in also when I wasn't and it seemed ok for me. I do know though that sometimes of you actually post and then use your browsers back button it can say 'web page expired' or show up your login page etc (depending on at which point you log in). I'll try and explain that a little better... err... if you aren't logged in and then you click to reply to a post... you then get the login screen and have to have to do that prior to replying (obviously). Once you have replied if you then hit your back button it can take you back to what looks like your login page or you may get a 'web page expired' message. If you get any daft messages just try refreshing your browser window. If you are using internet explorer you will see a little box near to where you type web site addresses and the box will have a 'bent arrow going upwards and a bent arrow going downwards'. Or try loggin in as soon as you come onto the forum... browse around, post, etc and see if it's makes any difference. ..... but 'yes' I think it's probably just you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 oops forgot to mention... another way to navigate the forum pages and sectons is as follows. You are reading this now so look upwards on the screen. You will see tha main red Warrington Worldwide header under that you will see the tabs .. mine at the moment has FORUM in red... next to that are 'Members' and 'Calendar' (which obviously you can click on of you want to) BUT DON'T AT THE MOMENT Under that you;ll probably see a wide advert banner... ignore that and under that you will see Warrinton Worldwide Discussion Forum > Fun and Interests > General Chat (obviously depending on where you are that will change) General Chat is where you are now If you click on 'Fun and Interests' it takes you back a level If you click on 'Warrinton Worldwide Discussion Forum' it takes you back to the main forum level Is that as clear as mud as I'm not explaining myself very well tonight am I ?

Stallard12 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Appreciate the response. That may be the problem Gary, maybe I don't know what I'm doing. If I'm calculating flow rates or analyzing internal pipe stresses, I'm ok, but talking on the forum is very technical. Well spotted Dizzy, the Web Page Expired is a feature of my dilemma. I think that the best thing for me to do is to navigate all of the topics via the back button, then when I decide to speak, resolve myself to exiting the forum and clicking back in. It only means that I miss you for three clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just stay logged in Stallard12 and if you get a message just refresh like I said earlier or use a combination of back button and/or the navigation at the top of the screen You will soon have the forum sussed as it's a doddle compared with flows and pipe stresses Maybe you could start a topic about that as it may entice my other half to come on here too ... actually PLEASE DON'T as we only have one pc at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Are you not going to tell him/her that your name is actually Ethel then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallard12 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I've been called many things, but not Ethel! When you have as many warrants out as I, you have to be careful. I'm sure he knows what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallard12 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think that i have found the answer : Keep right clicking until I see something that isn't 'refresh'. No "Refresh' tab on this damned PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 No mystery, just some of the postings Stallard12 has done makes me think I may know him, if its not Eric no issue, forget it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallard12 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I guess it's time to come out of the closet - I'm Eric !!! Just watched Man U. with liquid refrehment and that can make one a little frivolous. Be nice to hear from you. Two of the greatest things in the US, and there are many, left turn on red and bourbon and coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Amazing and the third (or is it fourth) case of that small Stallard12 world eh Great that you and Reader are now in contact thanks to the forum PS what browser are you using for the internet ?

Stallard12 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Internet Explorer Dizzy, have tried Mozzila Firefox but didn't like it. I find thst if I click several times, it eventually ends up at the Google list, then it's only one click back to WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 If you are using Internet Explorer (like I do) you should have a refresh button (see below) If not try pressing the F5 key at the top of your keyboard as that's IE's refresh shortcut key.

Stallard12 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Gotcha !! I always thought that was the 'Watch out for backflips' button. Your help and patience is really appreciated. Normally I get an eight year old to sort out my problems !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
