It doesn't sound like any of the problems you've mentioned in your recent posts are related to vBulletin, which seems to be a rock-steady software package; I'd look at the browser first. Your symptoms almost make it sound like there's something a little unstable in your OS.

I myself have not ...

A-1,

I supposed Bejun Mehta could be added to the list as well. See the article at

Now that's a great avatar! 😄

I didn't examine the cookies on my computer since Netscape retains them in a library rather than as individual files. It's not difficult to index into the library (Netscape provides a preferences tool for doing this) but I always seem to mess things up whenever I go ...

Well, the idea of the message board somehow "unjoining" was a wild-assed guess on my part. I'm totally unfamiliar with the admin or code side of vBulletin and only see the interface we all do. I had gotten one or two weird emails from EA back at the beginning of June.

Perhaps I should have amended my earlier post. I was trying to be biologically technical (accurate?) while at the same time contrasting two opposing situations I had experienced first-hand. The simple truth is that SRS does not change a person's chromosomes. (At least not yet!) 😱

Hope this helps ...

Haltos,

Well, I'm no longer concerned with the logging out part since the solution is not to log out. I also understand about the confusing message "all cookies cleared." No problem there.

What I am concerned about though, is the potential that someone trying v-e-r-y hard (or maybe even not so ...

I lived in Baltimore from 1980 through 1988 and got to know a pre-operation transgendered M->F very closely. She looked like a woman, acted feminine, dressed in the range of androgynous to feminine, was accepted by the community as a woman, and was referred to by the community as a woman. I don't ...

luvpain,

Sorry to belabor the issue, but I'm thinking that this could be a security concern.

The message board knows who I am when I return to it after logging out. I can tell this because the board is displaying the DTG of the last time of use.

The board cannot use my IP address to identify me ...
