Log-in Button

[on:]

I cannot for the life of me find a button to log in.  Why is there not an obvious one on top of every page?

Go to "preferences" and you can set the program to always log you in when you return (through a cookie).

Otherwise the log-in thingy is next to the quickpost window and in the reply window.

Edit: welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it here.

Would it be possible to have a login on the homepage? It would just be more convenient for people who don't have cookies enabled (or just have cookie problems like me)...

[Reply #3 on:]

well it could be convinient if you are logging  in from a public computer

I just had a great idea, so i went to post it and what do i find someone has said it the day before. Crap. But i aggree we need a log in button on the home page.

[Reply #5 on:]

What for exactly? You are logged in when you post. When in public places, you can delete the session cookie using the prefs.

While you're adding a login button to the home page, how about putting complementary mints on the pillows?

To summarize mArc:

Why?

[Reply #8 on:]

Also you should win stuff for posting

[Reply #9 on:]

I like to see the responses bar but i can't see it until i have posted something, thats one reason.

Enable permanent cookies then if you want that feature.

To make it clear: I'm not going to implement these things at the moment unless there's an urgent need. I have a few other things to do, too.

[Reply #11 on:]

Oooo new features. Anyway I tried allowing the cookie but that doesn't work either it may be beacause i have it at the wrong setting, what one should it be?

[Reply #12 on:]

davids, it's not neccessarily new features.  It could mean that mArc is trying to fix a problem with PEEL to try and prevent another crash.  Or he's spending time with edel.  Or he's searching down the side of the sofa to find the money to pay for PEEL.

maybe marc has like personal stuff to do, last time I checked Peel wasn't his full time "job"

[Reply #14 on:]

Well maybe he should let someone else do it.
Also we SHOULD win stuff for posting.

[Reply #15 on:]

I'd like to see someone try to fill Marc's shoes.  It's unpossible.

I thought this was a stupid idea at first, but I can see it has its merits, because I've been using public computers lately, since I'm away from home.  The current system is odd, because you have to post to log in.  So if I want to see the pulldown menu for my responses, I have to post even if I don't want to.  And you don't get a cookie when you edit a post or vote in a poll, you actually have to go spam the Yankees thread.  That probably doesn't go far to make this worth implementing, though.

You don't necessarily have to post anything.  You can sign in using the profile button, and then just submit your unchanged profile.  Viola! you're logged in.

[Reply #21 on:]

So there we have it, either sign in via your profile as Boingo suggests or post a message 

No more discussion needed
