Log 'em in and log 'em out...

When I tried to log in this morning in the usual way, after the sign in page the browser was sent into a redirecting loop.  After several attempts with the same result I had to sign out of my adobe account at the top of the page and could then sign in to the forums.

What's that all about then?

In a screenshot-y mode, here's interclue in action, having hovered over the link to the thread and then over the little "clue" of the Adobe icon, the little popup on the right displays the text of the link's page. Mine is customized to display only the text of the link:

Edit:

and in a really belly-button-gazingish example, here's Lazarus recovering the text that I just composed in the form, so if I'd gotten logged out I could have recovered every word:

>> the worst is  'OUT' when you're submitting a post...

fwiw, I've had that happpen in other web forums which use completely different forum s/w.

I've posted this previously and gotten some ack-ack from the trenches for it, but for the record, here it is again:

This Firefox addon is absolutely worth its weight in gold:   http://lazarus.interclue.com/

Ever had one of those “oh $*#@” moments when you've finally finished filling out a long form, and hit submit only to see an error message? And when you hit the back button, the form was blank... If so, you know you need Lazarus. And if not, you have a chance to install Lazarus before disaster strikes!

Another must-have FF add-on produced by the same folks is Interclue: http://interclue.com/index.html which saves TONS of surfing time in being able to "preview" a link's contents before clicking.

Need to feed them hampsters some more jolt energy drink to keep them wheels a spinning faster.

Good grief what is with this p.o.s. today. I've had to log in three times, sometimes the page won't load at all, sometimes I get an error message, and other times it shows that it loads but it is nothing more than a blank page! Not to mention the slowness...

Fourth time today...

Grand illusion.
