Brentastic Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 A couple months ago you had to log on every time you entered the huddle, in other words, the site did not keep you automatically logged on like in years past. I posted a thread about it and it was fixed but now there is no option of logging off once you're logged in. I'm in a league through work and no one else is a member of the huddle. However, I've been asked to let them "see" some of the member's only information. Obviously my competitive nature will not allow this to occur so I need to be able to log off before I leave work so my competitors won't be able to access top secret huddle information. DMD, can you fix this problem? Quote Link to comment

Brentastic Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Can't you just clear your cache & history? 918257[/snapback] Sure, I guess, but I don't want to do that every day. When you do that, your usernames and passwords are deleted too. There should be a log out option. There always has been in the past, something's wrong with their current set up unlike years past.

Clubfoothead Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 GIven that not logging on to thehuddle from work is not an option, I'll bet they fix that for you. Quote Link to comment

I'll ask, but I would guess that's not going to happen this year. Quote Link to comment

On my home computer it doesn't matter, but if I want to look at the huddle while at work, it is a problem. I've already caught someone peeking at the huddle while I am away. The season hasn't even started yet DMD, it shouldn't be too late for your IT guys to get this fixed. I'd like to know why they can't do it if that's the case. (lazy?) Anywho, if it can't be fixed, I won't be able to access the huddle from work anymore which would really tick me off Quote Link to comment
digitaldan21 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Isn't that the thing next to your user name on the top left? -DD21 Quote Link to comment
frenzal rhomb Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I initially declined the "Remember Password" option cause I forgot mine. Now, I want it to remember when I click my user name. Anyone know how to get that back? Quote Link to comment

SLGRAF Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 "I've already caught someone peeking at the huddle while I am away." If someone was peaking on someone else's computer at my work without permission, for any reason, they would get into serious trouble. I am surprised your co-workers would risk that to look at The Huddle, when they could just buy their own subscription?? Quote Link to comment
darin3 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Tell your Rosie O'Donnell co-workers to mind their own bizness and buy their own subscriptions. Or put a password on your computer. Quote Link to comment
SLGRAF Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 "Or put a password on your computer" Great suggestion. Enact the screen saver with password option, and activate it whenever you leave your desk. That would be easier than expecting DMD to change something in the middle of FFL draft prep season.

WJW Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 You are right Brentastic, now that the login system keeps you logged in there should be a way to log out for those using public computers. I'll have this looked into. But the suggestion for password protecting your work PC with a screen saver or with Windows is a good one regardless. Quote Link to comment

You can always count on me to discover flaws on your site. Not that the huddle is always flawed, just that I'm a stickler for efficiency. Quote Link to comment

I thought deleting cookies was the same as cache/history. Quote Link to comment

I thought deleting cookies was the same as cache/history. 919801[/snapback] No, many sites store your user name and password in a cookie. Cache is simply local copies of web pages visited recently and history is a list of same. Deleting cache and history doesn't do anything to passwords. Deleting cookies will cause you to have to remember all your web passwords, or most of them. Secure sites e.g. online banking typically do not allow storage of passwords at all, which makes sense. Some do allow Windows to store the password, though. Quote Link to comment
