Question for Fred

[Fireplace]

Hi Fred,

I'm curious to know how you are able to track me when I log on to the Terb website. Is this using a cookie? Reason I am asking is when I use a computer away from home, I want to be able to delete only that cookie - as there are lots of others on this machine that is needed.

Can you help?

kills that cookie

In Mozilla, go to Edit/Preferences/Security/Cookies. You`ll see about a half dozen cookies clearly referencing https://terb.cc which hold your login id, some display prefs, etc. There is also a https://terb.cc bblast cookie which tracks the cycling of the ads.

On the main https://terb.cc page, there is a link that says "Logout".. this will erase all cookies

it is located at the lower right side of the page.. see pic

I figured if someone is trying to make sure the cookies go bye-bye, they'd want to check after the logout to make sure they've been removed. I just don't presume that a logout will remove the cookies, just that it will force me to log in again.

Obviously that varies from site to site, and I don't know whether this one deletes them or not.

I just checked, When you logout of the site, it says

"All cookies cleared! Click here to return to the forums index."

That is a lie... the cookie was still there

Those aren't the cookies you're looking for.

Why can't I stop thinking "Goober the Hutt?" *g*

Goober is absolutely right - those are chocolate chip cookies and I do believe you are looking for either white chocolate chip or macadamia nut cookies. You'll find those in the third aisle, besides bagels and flatbreads.

She's the one with the 2 cinammon buns stuck on the sides of her head, right?

By the way, chocolate chip cookies arent as good as pie, but they are definitely better than cake.

 

[Fireplace]

You guys are too funny.
You also gotta know that cookies and pie and nothing compared to strawberry ice cream

Fridrikk, that won't help me. I want to keep the other cookies, I only want to get rid of the Terb ones.

Can't anyone help?

You have to Edit your TERB profile as follows:

1. Remember Username and password ?
Answer : No

2. Browse boards with cookies ?

Answer : No

I already did that but you will likely have some problems staying logged in.
