PC data display

[caveman16]

     Good morning Guys, Here's wishing that your day goes well for you.

     I hope I'm posting this in the correct place,  How do you guys get your PC data to show up at the bottom of your post ?   It sure would be a big help for me when I ask questions about my PC.   Also from time to time I would need to change that info as I upgrade.

     I sure ask  some basics  - - don't I    :)

     Thanks for your help, - - have a good one,    caveman

caveman,

First you have to have the LIST of what you are running

     Good morning John,   Here's wishing that your day goes well for you.

     Thank you so much for your time on my request.   That was nice of you to make this clear to me,  it's such a big help and time saver  and keeps me from typing the same info over and over.   It also gives others wishing to help time to study my PC's setup.

     Thanks again, - - -Have a good one,   caveman

     Hi again John, I guess I'm doing something all wrong. I'm trying to follow your instructions and after I click on modify ,  I'm asked to enter my password.   I can't get pass that point.   I keep getting an error message as tho I don't know my own password.  :-?

     I've often had trouble with my password  and I don't know what to do about it.   I don't know if it's my PC or what - - -   I just don't know what to do about this problem.   Frustrating  - -  just plain frustrating.   I wish I had someone to get this thing solved.   Anyway - - that's where I'm at - - -between a rock and a hard place.   Even my repairman can't get a handle on it.

    Maybe some day.    John  - -  have a good one,   caveman

Caveman,

Are you using the computer to remember your password for your normal "surf the site" log-in....or are you typing it in every time?  If you are using the automatic method, likely you have forgotten your own password.  Think hard.... and we'll see what we can do on this end.

best,

     Hi John,  I think I got things straight now.  :)   Sure do appreciate your help,

        Wishing you a nice day,   caveman

[caveman16]

    Me again John,   I typed in the info as you instructed but my PC info has not shown up at the bottom of this last post.   Is there a time element before it's posted?   I didn't see anyplace to sign out after I typed in the info.  Did I miss something ?     oh me  -    -  I sure did pick the right PC name  :)

     Hope you don't give up on me  John.

     Have a good one.    caveman

caveman,

At the bottom of the screen after you have changed all that stuff in the various fields...... you hace to hit the "Change Profile" button at the bottom of the screen.

Did you do that?

best,

     Hi John,  sorry I'm so late getting back to you,  been working on my lil' work car all day  and just found some free time to sit down and cool it.  I always look forward to this forum.   John,  I did NOT click on that .   I thought it would just run me around in circles.    

     I'll type my info in again and give it another try.   I need the practice anyway.

     Sure do appreciate your help.  Here's wishing you a nice evening,  caveman

    Hi John,  after re-typing my PC's info specks,and click on the change profile thing,    WELL -- - -- -     I got this :    An error has occurred message with a " profile session timed out,  please re-authenticate.

    I'm sorta getting a message that I'm swinging  after the bell .      [It's a losing battle]

         Thanks for your help John,   Have a good one.   caveman

cavemen,

I think that happened beause you took too long to hit "update" after you logged into your "Priofile" page.  It is a security measure.  Try again with a SHORT profile change ...and see what happens.  Maybe "build it up" a little at a time?

best,

     Hi John,  Sure hope your day went well for you.
     
    After giving this some thought, I sorta  came up with that possible solution also.   Perhaps me being so slow ,  I could put in a few lines of my PC data at a time.  I'll give that a try - - - add a couple of lines at a time , - - - if that is permitted.    

     This would be a big help to me to have others see what I have and me being permitted to change this info as I upgrade.    

     John,  I wish to express my thanks to you for helping me.   There are many times that I just simply don't know which way to turn  when it comes to these computers.   I'm not  shy when it comes to asking for help,  just don't know whom to ask.   You have been and are just unreal and greatly appreciated.   THANK YOU SO MUCH .

     Here's wishing you a good tomorrow,       caveman

[caveman16]

     Hey John,   Thought I'd give it a try with typing a few lines in.   I've found out that ten min was too long of a time and I got that "time out"  message .    So I gave it a five min try and I'm not sure if it worked or not and wont know until I post this message.

     If I'm only given 5 min to put in the specks of my PC,   ahem     I'll pack a Lil' brown bag while putting in the info  ;)

     Anyway - - - here goes.

     Thanks again John,     caveman

     Hey John,  Here's wishing you and Pete a very nice day.

     I sure do thank the both of you for your help in getting this info posted.  Now everyone can see what makes my PC tick.  I'm sure there are repeats of info and some things that didn't need listing, _ - - - BUT there it is.  

     This has indeed made my day,  I am soooooo happy that  "WE" got this project done.  

      Again I wish to thank you Guys for your help.   Have a good one, - - - -caveman

  ps:  What do you think of this set-up for a starter that can be upgraded as the money tree bears fruit ?
