While Betty sorts out her font size, maybe someone can give me help with a little mystery. I've set up my prefs to Show Topics from Last 2 Days. All forums do that, except...the Grumble. It refuses to default, and always goes to 10 days. No matter what I do, I can't change it so it'll STAY changed. Any help? Not earthshaking, but annoying, as it takes longer.
 
Cathy,

Have you tried going into your profile area and changing it there?

That should control all of the different forums.

If that doesn't work, try looking for tiny footprints on your computer desk. Sometimes those teeny aliens sneak in there and try to play games with your mind. ;)

MerpsMom,

You might have to toss your cookies. If you do it, do it twice. First, in your browser, click on 'tools' then 'internet options.' There will be a button to click on to delete cookies. Then go to your Grumble profile and, on the first page, click on the link that deletes Grumble cookies.

After you do that, your browser and The Grumble will forget who you are and you can start fresh by setting your preferences in you profile.
 
What a great tip! Thanks Ron. :D
 
Less, don't do it! It took twenty minutes for me to get back here with a new password........which I didn't want. Now, where do I check that I'll allow cookies set by the forum? Didn't that used to be an option? And can I get my old password back? Hate to be a pain, but I should have known better than to mess with the computer gods. :(
 
MerpsMom,

You're still member #90 and you still have 1593 posts, so maybe the only thing that's changed is your password. Since you can change your own password, maybe you can change it back yourself. In fact, you're the only one that can do that.

Of course, if that doesn't work, I will delete this entire thread and deny any knowledge of its existance.
 
I'm going to delete my cookies and see if I can figure out what happened to MerpsMom. If this is my last post for a while, you'll know not to follow my advice. (Some of you already know that.)
 
Sorry, MerpsMom, I did exactly what I suggested and had no problem logging back on. In fact, I don't see any side-effects from my experiment at all

Well, I don't have a clue. Since at the moment all seems to be okay....except that I still can't get the Grumble to default to Two Day Topics....I may live with my new, weird password. Perhaps someday soon I'll be feeling bolder and will take another crack at it.

Yes, computers are just really fun things to own us, aren't they.
