CONFIRMATION CODE BOX?

What's the story on the box that pops up at the top of the page and asks for a confirmation code (those indecipherable letters) to be entered? Never saw that before.

This time around, I had to make three tries at it before it accepted an answer to a post. Fearless leader...............this is a real PITA!

I logged out and logged back in to see if this would happen. Nope

Please.......I'm really not losing my marbles. It did it twice this morning when trying to reply to the Octogon......not on other threads. Just now, I did an Octogon post and it didn't do it..........so go figure. I just wondered where it came from. Who knows? Green cybermonkies drooling on the site??? Amateur hackers?

Oh fearless leader......I'm not much of drinker.......and surely not at 9 a.m.!

I suspect it was some kind of random event. Just wanted to check that you hadn't instigated it.

CB:

I tried every trick I know attempting to trigger such an event without any success. What happens in some cases, when a person attempts to log in one or more times with inaccurate info, then it will trigger a confirmation code. I tried that a number of times and couldn't make it happen. So who knows?

Between the strange stereo problems and the strange code box, I'd say you have someone from the other side trying to communicate with you....du,du,du,du...du,du,du,du

Maybe so.........and if so, I hope it's the little guy with the pot of gold at the end of the fabled rainbow...arriving in time for St. Paddys day.

But I doubt it. lol

ok, I got the same box "confirmation code box" when i click on it nothing happens, but when i closed out the board and came back on it disappeared. I'm not really a nubie, passwork or used trouble caused me to reregister and i had to start over again.

last post i made says i posted at "today at 5:36 am" thats two hours ahead of me, my computer said "3:36 am". I looked all around for a setting for time but found none, maybe its only my puter, or someone knows how i can change the time setting.

Joco Jerry:

To get your time correct - go to "Profile" tab above.
Then click on "Preferences" tab.
Now scroll down towards the bottom of the page and you will find where you set your time zone.
Then do a save and all will be good.

Well, at least I'm not the only one the aliens tried to reach.
