You don't need to re-register, if you're on here, you're registered on there automatically. Just use the login page. When you log in, the page might come up again, with a space for your passsword, ignore that, you should be all verified. The livecloud.com link at the bottom takes you to the home page.

Then click on here http://forum.hoop.la/ to find the forum.

Lori told me in a PM today that I have to clear my cache. Steve told me this moring to clear my cookies. As I can't find either my cache OR my cookies and I would be lost without my history to find websites I have visited recently I think I'm a lost cause.

Never, in my history of using the internet have I had such trouble in registering on a forum.

In the black toolbar at the top of the threads, go into GO, then PERSONAL ZONE tthen PROFILE. On the list on the left hand side there is an option COOKIES, click on that and you will find the DELETE option.

I think.

I'm really a bit thick at this, is this the thing in Tools where you delete all your browsing history and stuff?

I really am a big useless virgin at most stuff*

And tbh it does sound like this may be what's preventing BB from logging on

or you could manually delete the LiveCloud cookie by looking thru your cookie folder via the search facilty

I had to do this a while ago, on hubby's laptop. I found the easiest way to do it (for me), was I opened a folder in the bookmark list, then clicked on all my history sites, one by one, bookmarking them into the folder (which I gave the title old browsing history).

It just saved me writing them all down.

Go into TOOLS onyour browser toolbar, click DELETE BROWSING HISTORY and it will give you a tick list of things, just choose the cookies bit and OK.

REMEMBER to bookmark your favourites first though! Use the FAVOURITES option, click your chosen link and ADD TO FAVOURITES. That way you create a list and it saves messing about looking for places.

Once he'd been back on his pooter for a few weeks, merrily using it, building up his history again... he was then able to just delete the whole folder.... and his favourites list was back to its usual organised tidiness.

A lot seem to have problems even joining and a fair few who have joined either don't like the format, or can't get to grips with the site.

I think a fair few members won't make it over there.

I understand what you are saying Ditty, but seriously, it's just not worth all this hassle just to register on a bloody forum. Life is difficult enough without adding to the stress. I prefer to use the internet to relieve stress, not to create yet more stress.

Hmmm! I only save to favourites websites that I use a lot, otherwise I would have a favs list a hundred miles long. At the minute I'm house-hunting so instead of saving each and every web page into my favs I tend to find them in my history so I can share them with my husband when he is sat down with me. Oh I'm seriously getting muddled up now.

The thing is, I really need to do things the exact same way all the time because of my very bad short term memory loss because if I'm doing something in a different way I will not be able to remember where to find things of even how to do it. I rely heavily on doing things automatically, doing things the way I have done them for ages thus not relying on memory so much.

I am now beginning to think that I am not up to doing anything new. I have to ask myself is this really worth the bother just to use a forum? It's putting one heck of a lot of pressure on me, pressure I am finding hard to deal with currently. Registering on a forum should not be as difficult and as complicated as this is. Yet some of you don't even have to register to use the cloudy place. So bloody unfair!

I don't understand why some people are having such difficulties and surely it would be nice if the mods could have a help place where they guided those who are having problems.

I know they have been very good to us and helpful but there are people who need help and have been faced with a maze and others just go straight through.

I have to say this, Lori has been extremely helpful to me via PMs but I'm still not getting anywhere. As soon as one problem is overcome another problem takes it's place.

I end up thinking it's either me or my laptop but it can't be that! I don't have anything like this happening to me on other websites. The whole thing is beyond me now. I give up!

You see BB what I don't understand is this. You are registered on here. It is run by the same people (so they tell us). So why can't they just REGISTER YOU over there without any of the hassle? I'm probably looking at it from completely the wrong angle but if you are OK to post here why can't they just make it possible for you to post over there. I mean, you shouldn't even be having to re-register should you?

Guess what? Black cloud lifted. Stress gone! Success!
