    Posted: 01 Mar 2005 at 12:55am

It is not a huge problem - but I find that I have to login to this forum fairly often. The system does not seem to remember my login all that often - even though I tell it to remember me.

It is more annoying in that the system does not seem to recognise the page as a webpage, so I cannot use Roboform to enter the details for me - I have to type it each time.

I don't know what might or might not be causing that, but I do know I've never had much success getting Internet Explorer to remember passwords for me. Meanwhile, Firefox works just fine....

We're using a third-party forum package - so I don't know too much about how it works. But the remember login seems to work OK for me.

Do you use the forum directly from a web browser, or from within BullCharts?

Both. The external browser seems to be better, although that does not make much sense. The problem with the internal browser is that none of the auto-completion stuff works - so you have to enter the data each and every time. At least with the normal (external) browser I can use auto-completion.

Perhaps the internal forum browser command on the help menu could be converted to launch internet explorer externally.

In fact the ability for the user to creat a custom menu with links to various places on the web, or documents/programs etc. would be excellent. This would mean I could open my position sizing calculator (xls file) launch my futures data update program (exe file) and come to the forum(url file), all without visiting my start menu.

So far as saving passwords, its just internet explorers privacy settings I'm pretty sure.

Maybe you guys have privacy products that go and delete cookies, history and passwords periodically.

How about adding shortcuts to the Quick Launch bar, down next to the Start button? If you're worried about categorisation, I found a cute little freeware program the other day called FreeLaunchBar that lets you add submenus to the Quick Launch bar.

Would be nice to eliminate the Start bar all together

The start-bar can be hidden on XP:
  1. Right click on the start button
  2. Press properties
  3. Go to the taskbar tab
  4. Select auto-hide the task bar.

Would like to elimanate it altogether - ie replace the explorer.exe with something more useful. DesktopX is one example

Possibly kneighbours problems are caused by corrupted windows system.

time for another format.
