Right there with you! Added to the knees and hips...I just found out my aching hands = arthritis. I can barely make a fist in the mornings.Quote:

It was before Title IX so there weren't many jocks and I didn't think I had any athletic ability anyway. . Who would've thought that 35 years later I'm running, biking and swimming???
I started out in the popular, preppie group and morphed into the "intellectual, but not super brilliant" group of 5-6 girls who hung out in Harvard Square and were semi-stoners (i.e., we had good grades, but liked to party). There were no female jocks in the late sixties, early seventies. Then I moved to Florida. They were still wearing Villager dresses, carrying their Aingier purses. I was considered seriously radical. I refused to go to school, so I finished my last 2 years at a very small private school. I had friends, good ones, but it was never the same as when I lived in here.
OMG, I still have high school nightmares.
I was in the "smart but weird girl" group. I had very few friends until I joined the theater. Then I had a *few* more. UGH!
Thanks, Veronica. Back at ya.
so how do we find out what our "reputation" is?
And I like the quick reply box, but can we make it so that you can just type in the box, without clicking anything in any of the other posts? And can we include emoticons in the quick reply box?
:)
Where are y'all seeing this reputation thing? I want to make mine "trashy".... :D
This is a little too much like work :o "you may get a survey call so did you like my post? Huh? Huh? I hope you really like it, is there anything I could say in this post so that you would rate my reputation with a green dot? Cause I really hope you rate me with a green dot, I'd be really sad with a grey dot or worse a red (from the admin) so I really hope that you give me a green dot and ...."Quote:

Frick it all! BIKE ORGY!!!!!
Let's all ride to a great chocolate factory (www.theochocolate.com) and a great brewery (http://www.redhook.com/AgeCheck.aspx?p=36) while wearing our utilikilts (http://www.utilikilts.com/)
HS sucked, now it's time to have the life you always wanted! :D
I don't know what I was in high school, me? I knew the popular kids and we would talk in classes but we weren't friends. I was a newspaper editor, voted best female youth bowler in the state and in all the honor societies.
I didn't go to my 10 year this year. I don't talk to anyone from high school unless I run into them at the store. Whatever high school was I am happy to leave it back in the 90's!
The green/grey dots have been there all along, and they just indicate whether the person is online...
I still don't see where reputation is enabled here.
I might have been there, but now it's gone. We can set aside the old high school demons....says the girl who dyed her hair to match her outfit. :o
Exactly...Quote:

I thinking moving in HS and living in 3 different states has given me a different perspective than if I had just stayed in MA my whole life. Although, I have to say that I always felt different from most of the people I worked with in AZ; there definitely was a cultural thing that made me feel different. In the end, I ended up becoming friends mostly with others who had migrated from the northeast and were in the same stage of life. Then I decided that I wanted my kids to be brought up in an environment like the one I grew up in. So, I guess I eventually did turn into my mother!
Yeah, well that worked with one kid and worked not so well with the other.
I wonder why I have to sign in verytime I come to the forum now. I tell it to remember me and it doesn't. I wonderif this is related to the upgrades - or whether it's because of my reputation.
It's your reputation, we all know about you...Quote:

The same thing is happening to me, and it only started up after the upgrade.Quote:

It's happening to me too. I emailed admin about it.
I'm not having that problem, but what browser are you using?
In Firefox, it's Preferences>Privacy
then keep cookies until (anything except for "I close Firefox")
and if you've checked "Clear history when Firefox closes," then make sure "Cookies" is unchecked in the Clear History settings.
I don't know much about Internet Exploder, but I think v.8 is pretty new, and I know it has a lot more privacy options than it used to, so that might have something to do with it as well. Maybe you downloaded the new version and it defaults to deleting more cookies than you used to?
Check your privacy settings if you're using IE 8 -- mine is set at Medium
(Tools, Internet Options, Privacy)
Ah, in my case it's definitely a Firefox issue.
When I brought up the TE site in Internet Explorer, logged in and clicked the "remember me" box, and then shut down IE, when I re-open it and access the TE site again I'm still logged in.
I've been trying Oakleaf's suggestions (thanks!) and playing around with my Firefox privacy / cookie settings, but so far no dice -- whenever I close Firefox & then open it up again, I'm logged out of TE.
Eh, I'll figure it out eventually.
I use Firefox and I keep cookies, so that's not the problem. I think something about the new forum software is interacting differently with Firefox. TE still recognizes me in Explorer 7. I'm hoping the admin will have some ideas about what might have changed with the new forum software.
Firefox, windows XP here.... I'm not having a log-in problem. Nothing new or unusual has been happening for me.
Or maybe you somehow got a setting to accept only session cookies from TE. In that case you don't have to find and delete the preference, just click on cookie Exceptions, then type in forums.teamestrogen.com and click "Allow."
Check this setting in Firefox....otherwise I'm stumped.
please email me about them so I can help resolve the issue and also see how widespread of a problem it is. So far I haven't been able to duplicate the problem on my end...
