Default Need Admin Help

Just downloaded Google Chrome (browser). When I try to access TOTV via Google Chrome I am treated like a guest.
Do I need to register as another member?
Will I use the same info as I am now using?
BTW, Google Chrome is a vast improvement over IE and Firefox, IMHO.

I've never heard of Google Chrome, so at this point, I have no answer to your question. I'll forward it to Darrel or Tony.

I have never used Google Chrome, but last I heard it was not ready for prime time. Maybe it has improved.

You should just log in here as you did the first time you logged in with your correct name and password. If I guess correctly, Google Chrome will remember your details in a cookie.

Try it and let us all know.

Tied that and here is what I got back:


"The email address you entered is already in use. If you have forgotten your password, please click here.
That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are downeaster and you have forgotten your password, clic"

I tried Google Chrome on a lap top that I had that was running XP and had no problems. I also liked some of the features it has and it seems to run faster than IE. I have been told that Chrome is also doing a lot of monitoring and tracking of your activity and Google sells thin information to advertisers. Since this was on a work lap top I did not care and tried it any way. At home I have stayed with IE and have been running version 8 since beta release 2 with no problems.

Another thing built into Chrome is the ability to work with cloud computing that is the next wave on the horizon.

Default Problem Solved!!

I was too quick on the trigger. I just had to sign in again on the Google Chrome browser.
Sorry to have bothered you..

Hawkwind, I just down loaded Chrome so can't comment on much except the speed. It is sooo much faster than the competition. Not sure I like its bookmarks feature. It has a built in spell check that checks as you type. Not a deal breaker, but handy.
