OK after a long time having problems with posting and logging on I figured it out. This post is basically for a few who dont know like me.
Basically you have to enable cookies in your browser AS WELL AS THIS WEBSITE: Go to the control panel and click on EDIT OPTIONS and see that cookies are enabled. You may have to try many times because as in my case if cookies were disabled in the control panels options then basically it is very hard to log on in the first place which in turn will not let you go in the control pane's screen.... I had the log on screen many times untill the website accepted my options change and now I am logging on and posting easily!
I have not been able to read the China section during my trip in China. No problems with the other sections, but as soon as I entered a topic of the China sectino, the error screen appeared.
Do you think that reflects that the Chinese police is reading WSG or is that just the effect of automatic worl filters ? Why don't I have the same problem in Vietnam ?
I keep getting E-Mails stating that someone has responded to my post in Juarez???????? Never posted there? Can you help
[blue]It sounds like you are "subscribed" to the Juarez section, which means that the forum software will send you a notification email every time some other member posts a message in that section.
Since you must to specifically "subscribe" to a section, it was something you probably did while in the section and without noticing what you were doing.
Use the Controp Panel link on the left side menu bar to review what topics (if any) that you are subscribed to. You can also use the Control Panel edit or terminate any subscriptions.

It seems that this site is not compatible with an AOL browser. I have never been able to log in under AOL. When I use my Microsoft Explorer browser I can log in with no problem. Is there a fix to this?
I can't edit my posts...says I don't have permission. please hook me up so I can edit my posts.
[blue]Nobody can edit their post after the first 30 minutes.

Jackson,
I added a new post and attached a pciture to it. The link was automatically added to the posting by the new feature, BUT when I try to read it it says I do not have permission to access the page.
Great feature - wish we could post a couple of pics inline - but htis is a great addition.
[blue]Sorry guys, I didn't have the member settings properly configured. It should be working now.

Jackson,
I am still having problems logging on and nothing seems to be wrong with my cookies set-up. I have used the assigned log ons (I think three by now, maybe two) and then changed them to one I can remember which seems to work once. But when I log on the next day, the new one doesn't work, the old ones don't work and I have to go through the whole process again. I sent you an admittedly frustrated sounding and slightly snarky sounding email complaining about this, but just got the standard auto reply which is useless. Please advise and tell me how I can simply log in without the hassles I realize you are extremely busy and I appreciate this site and the info, but there has to be an easier way and, frankly, your auto reply suggestions aren't cutting it.
Thank you.
Sometimes a one-size-fits-all doesn't cover individual concerns. Appreciate any suggestions you have or fiixes you can make to your site for this problem.
I remember having seen help on how to enter text in italics, boldface, different colors, etc. somewhere. I can't seem to find it now. I suggest that this info could go into the FAQ.
I can't see the option to quote a report, either.
Perhaps those things are gone with the last posting problems or policy change that hasn't been advertised?
Just Mitch,
Is your day and time setting correct? - Some cookies don't work without proper date/ time setting.
Do you access through a secure proxy? - Perhaps the proxyserver adds or removes something vital.
Is your internetsecurity software blocking something? - There could be something there that makes your cookie set-up uncompatible with the log-on procedures of the forum.
Just Mitch -- you might also try turning off cookies for a couple of sessions and then turning them back on. Sometimes a bad cookie causes problems. I've found, for example, that logging in with cookies works fine for me, but browsing the board with cookies does not. I'd also suggest cleaning out your internet cache, as that can also make for issues.
Hi Jackson.
I seem to be having trouble posting a photo.
Im using the Russia, Moscow forum. I have recently added a text report, I was intending to attach a pic but it wouldnt post.
So, I sent the text alone and tried to send a seperate 1 liner report with the pic, still no joy. It takes ages then I get a page not found error.
The pic is a .jpg at the required physical size with a file size of just 60KB.
I hope it is me and not a problem for you.
Regards
Dick Travel
Hi Jackson,
Been facing some problem with posting a reply to some member's queries. When i click on add new report i am asked to sign in. Which i duly do. But instead of going to the new report area i keep going back to the login page. Does this happen with others as well? Sometimes it takes me 3 to 5 attempts to get logged in to post a new report. Also when i finish typing out my post and press "submit" it goes back to the login in page. I lose all my input and have to start all over again. Hopse i dont have to loging again for this post. :)
ooopsss i was sent to the login page again :( Had to log in at least 8 times.
Hi Jackson,
JustFun (a senior member) asked me to notify you that something is seriously wrong with his account as he cannot post and cannot even go to change his settings and gets a 'not authorised or account blocked' message. Please look into his account and reset things to work well again.

His problem is probably one with the cookies on his machine, which means Jackson can't do anything about it. (He can confirm whether or not this is the issue by logging on from another computer.) Have him go in and delete those, then try changing things so his account doesn't use cookies to browse the board -- that's what worked for me when I had the same problem.
