Logging in can be SO FRUSTRATING !!!!

JDgreen227 · Apr 28, 2013

Is there some way a member can ELIMINATE that (censored) blue popup?? So many times I have to log back into the site and I type my member name into the space at the upper right and then when I begin to type in my password, the blue popup obscures my login and I have to retype everything. And please don't tell me to check "remember me" because that DOES NOT WORK with my ISP and the browser I use.

PLEASE....give me a choice of the conventional login OR the popup and not make me endure both. THANKS.

Or you could lengthen the time before the blue log in screen pops up. I find it to be a irritation also.

You could add some pop-up blockers to your web browser.

What do you use ?

1. Pause for a few seconds, then log in on the popup.

2. When the popup happens after you start to log in, click on the page under it, the popup will go away, then continue your log in where you were interrupted.

If you have Firefox, adding Ad Block Plus and a rule to block "||tractorbynet.com/forums/clientscript/vbpsrp_popup.js" will prevent that popup from ever showing up...
That may also block some other stuff, but I dont know that TBN uses any other popups...

Are you using your personal computer? Secure?

I just click on "remember me", and it is very rare that I have to log back in.

I always use a personal computer...it's running IE 9...and I have it set so it will block almost all popups and accept cookies but clicking "remember me" is futile because I always have to log back in. By the way, from the time I am on the TBN page, it takes 15-20 seconds for the blue popup to appear if I just wait, but if I start typing in my user name it pops up immediately.

YES, EXACTLY !!!!!!!!

After loggin in, have you gone to IE options,undere privacy - add tractorbynet to your popup block to allow. I suspect that blocking tractorbynet popup is not allowing the cookie login to be remembered . Whats your browsing history settings in IE? automatic? how many days? default is 20.

We will lengthen the time. It is only suppose to show once, but I think it's showing more often.

I just type right thru it. I type in my user name TAB password, enter it.TAB AND ENTER which checks the "remember me" then ENTER. I do that with the pop up covering the screen. Works for me.

I'm a careless reader and missed the word 'in'. It was disappointing not to learn why logging timber, with a tractor, can be frustrating.

deezler · May 1, 2013

Your problem is that you're using IE. Just stop. It sucks. Chrome is so superior in every way. I have never had to remember my login and password, at home or at work.

haha! Me too. I clicked it with that thought first. What a boring subject, in comparison.

I guess there's a little Paul Bunyan wannabe in all of us.

I happen to LIKE IE...and probably so do many others here. For what it is worth I use Chrome on my Droid and the F*****G censored popup shows up on Chrome there too. I get so fricking sick and tired of others who badmouth the browsers, etc. others prefer.

aczlan · May 1, 2013

If you are set on using IE, try Adblock for Internet Explorer version IE7, IE8, IE9 and IE10 – Simple Adblock and the adblock plus filter I listed above.

Haha! Wow, f'in touchy response from someone who decided to publicly moan and groan about the mundane frustrations of their internet experience. That's fine if you like IE, sorry, my initial post here was rude.
