Problems

[PJGunner]

Lately I've been running into several problems. Much of the time lately it's been timing you out within a minute or less. The other problem is if I get in, and I try to reply to a post or answer a question, it won't let me. No space opens up for me to place my comments. Seems I got lucky today but the next time????

Paul , I had a few weird things going on at one time . I always stayed logged in at that time . now I try to remember to log out each time . I need to log in every time now , and things have been flawless since I've been doing this . I also try to shutdown my computer more often , something I rarely did . although I probably still need to do this more often . I'm no computer guru , but this helped me .

When I worked in a group that had its own tech support person, he told me to be sure to do always two things:

1. Always log out from any site that you use,
2. Reboot your computer every day.

He said the reasons were that, "tech talk, tech talk, tech talk, and it clears the registers". I obviously didn't understand much of what he said, but he NEVER steered me wrong, and always kept my systems up and running. The applications that I ran on my workstation were so computationally intense that my workstation was an actual server. One day, I made a major mistake, and ruined a couple day's worth of work and corrupted the database. He asked when was the last time that the programming and data were correct. I told him when. He performed a "restore" excercise and restored everything back to prior condition. It was a life (job) saver. So, I trust that his advise is correct.
