A couple of hitches.

Hi to you guys doing a grand job there in Admin. I have a couple of problems so need your help please.

I have recently bought a new laptop with Windows11 installed, so I don't know whether it's that - that's made a difference. When I 'tag' someone the little dropdown box button isn't functioning to insert the person's username. The box appears but when I hit it - it doesn't automatically insert the name, so I have to type it.

I have a similar situation when logging in. The drop down box doesn't automatically show my name when putting in the first letter. Again I have to type it in full, although it's no hardship. Any ideas please?

 

I usually start typing someone's name with @ in front and after a few letters the box appears.
Is this not happening, admittedly if its a short name I usually have typed it by then.

I've never logged out, not sure what my password is but I think chrome remembers it.

 

Yes the box does appear after a few letters Pete but when I hit it - it doesn't respond.

I always log out. I don't believe passwords are secure if they are remembered online.

 

I never log out of any sites I use other than the bank or shopping which log you out automatically. Forums, email, news, weather and Amazon I just stay logged in.

 

I accepted cookies @JWK but it's made no difference. It's not the password though but my username. Usually when I put the first letter in there's a drop down box with my full username to hit, but it's not functioning.

With the tagging the list appears but if I hit the button it doesn't work so I have to type the tag in full.

 

It never responds for me either, I always have to type the name in.

 

On GC, I just let it remember me, so I'm always logged in on machines that it recognises, I assume that is done via cookies on your device.

The other way I do it with some other sites is let the browser store the log in, that way you still get the log in page come up but it gets filled in automatically.

As to the dropdown box when tagging someone I'm not sure how that works, but has for me up till now, be interesting to see what happens when I get my new laptop.

 

@JWK I'm using Edge/Bing with Windows11 and used Edge/Bing with Windows10 on my old laptop - it all functioned on there.

 

That's exactly how it appeared on Windows10 and functioned perfectly @Loofah - but not on Windows11.
