Hello

Marcia · 12-06-2006, 01:48 PM

My name is Marcia. Living in the Tampa Bay area (Sarasota, FL), originally from New England. Started working with computers in the mid 80's mostly with Office Suites for work. Got hooked on knowing more when I started working for myself at home. Mostly self taught, lots of dummies books! Took A+ and started building and networking.
Currently in a learning curve for Win SBS 2003.
I hope to find some help from ya'll when I get in over my head. Also, to learn by reading posts and perhaps offer some help.
Looking forward to participating.

Hi, Welcome to TSF. Glad you could join us.

Marcia · 12-06-2006, 02:07 PM

I've already got a question. Seems like every time I move around the site or try to read or reply, I have to sign in again. Is that normal? Will it stop after a while? Or did I miss a step?

Hello, Marcia, and welcome to the TSF family!

When you log in, do you tick the "Remember Me" box?

Marcia · 12-06-2006, 02:37 PM

Yup, Remember Me is checked - I actually tried it both ways

Could be a browser issue. IE is actually pretty well known for that. It could also be that the forum automatically logs people out after so long (usually around 10 minutes) of not refreshing the page.

Marcia · 12-07-2006, 08:25 AM

Thanks Glaswegian - it was the cookie

Greetings and salutations from NPR. Bit of a cold snap we are having, but nothing like those New England winters.

Marcia · 12-10-2006, 11:20 AM

Thanks for the warm welcomes Geekgirl (love the name and the Avatar) and to you Jason. Cold snap is gone and it's gorgeous in SRQ today. How about PA Geekgirl?
