Login to forums from WM?
in [Pocket PC]

From: Terry Pinnell on 19 Mar 2010 16:24 I simplistically assumed that when I accessed one of my regular forums via my HTC Touch Pro 2 (under WM 6.1) that I would be automatically logged in, just as I am on my desktop PC. But that didn't happen. Nor could I even access the login links. Must I register again with all my 10 or so forums? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

However, most systems have a little check box that sais something like "Remember Me". That needs to be checked the first time. Also, this box can be very hard to see on the small screen. Enlarge it if you need to. Also, I've found that Opera works a lot better for posting than IE. -Frank
From: Sven on 20 Mar 2010 22:28 Your logins are stored on your machine in the form of cookies (clear cookies if you doubt this). Your Touch Pro will do the same, but you will need to log-in the first time to set those cookies on the mobile device. Check the remember me box. Would be the same if you got a laptop and accessed your forums. You would have to 'store' your credentials the first time. Not sure what you mean by "Nor could I even access the login links. " Do you mean you couldn't get to the page, or you couldn't see the boxes that you need to put in a username and password. If the latter, it means the browser doesn't support the method the site uses to create the boxes. If you are using IE, try Opera, or vice-versa. That is an unfortunate issue with mobile browsers "Terry Pinnell" <terrypinDELETE(a)THESEdial.pipex.com> wrote in message news:34n7q5dipfep77572jgjucu8bp0skfqf4h(a)4ax.com... > I simplistically assumed that when I accessed one of my regular forums via > my > HTC Touch Pro 2 (under WM 6.1) that I would be automatically logged in, > just > as I am on my desktop PC.

I'll make a more methodical attack on this. I was/am a bit nervous about registering again using same username and password as I use on my PC, in case that somehow screwed up PC access. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK
From: "Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen" on 16 Apr 2010 07:08 When registering into forums, you can use any username/password pair. Actually, it's not recommended at all to use the same pair on a public forum - anyone catching the password can attack your machine (assuming it's not NAT'ed / behind a firewall).
