Re: forum very difficult to use

well the thread got hijacked and thats ok but back to the same old question i still cant get the drop down menu to work to simply log in. it took me like 20 times to get in to post this. really upsetting because all said and done i liked this forum and lot and the crowd of misfit toys that frequent it. well ill keep trying i suppose and i am going to have to figure something out.

Re: forum very difficult to use

Can\'t see any thread hijacking. Just we all blundering around, learning to navigate this place in a dense fog.

I see that there\'s a software lag-time between logging in and actually getting to the forum. Annoying, but this can of worms does not click along with the simplistic speed of the old recipe.
Gauranteed to PO anyone with an attention deficit issue.
I just wait. Relax. The light comes on, eventually.

At the same time, I think that the change has driven off a large percentage of formerly active members. Maybe a core here of 50 or fewer?

Re: forum very difficult to use

when i go to community to log in etc i put t he mouse on it and then it disappears. I manage to get logged in fianlly but then when i want to see the most recent messages, I can t get the drop down list under community to stay dropped down to highlight the subsection \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\"most recent posts\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" I have tried holding down control and right clicking and lighting a candle to the virgin and can t get it to work. It must be me again because it seems like others dont have a problem. So if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong Im list ening and will check back if i can get the forum to drop down and let me in.

Rick,

I sometime have the same problem, I am using Windows 8.1 and Firefox 38.0.5. Most of the time I point to Community, wait for the gray menu box to drop-down, mouse to Forum Log In box and click. When the drop-down box keeps closing, I try moving the mouse in a circular motion from Community to the Forum Log In box.

Do not give up, someone with the answer will be along shortly.

Hi Rick,

I sometimes get that behaviour. I find if I hover the mouse over the community tab then click the dropdown arrow (even when the dropdown menu is visible) then it seems to behave better. Seems this happens more when I have been logged out, if I use remember me and stay logged in, the dropdown behaves better.
