Comments on: Not on my account http://headrambles.com/2012/10/01/not-on-my-account/ Rambles around the head of an Irish Grandad Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:11:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Grandad http://headrambles.com/2012/10/01/not-on-my-account/#comment-38830 Grandad Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:38:13 +0000 http://www.headrambles.com/?p=5023#comment-38830 Nisakiman – Whatever Tony’s problem is, it isn’t bookmarking.  [I have written to him privately to try to sort it]  This business of trying to minimise logins by using existing accounts is kinda boiling my piss too.  Facebook drives me fucking mad [Herself loves it though, for some reason] so in cases of dire emergency I have to resort to signing in using Twitter which also pisses me off.

I had a look at Disqus and if my information is correct, commentators have to open an account with them?  Strangely I have commented on DP’s but don’t remember setting up any accounts to do so.  Personally, I am happy to leave this site just looking for a username and an email.  It hasn’t caused me any problems in the past anyway.

On that note, in the next day or two I am probably going to change the entire foundations of this site.  Hopefully it won’t look or act too differently but will be more up to date and will allow for such things as nested comments.

I’ve made that mistake. I rectified it by going to the home page and re-bookmarking it there.
 
GD, WordPress drives me fucking bonkers sometimes. What really gets to me is when I’m prompted to sign in to my WP account, and when I do so with the correct username and password, it tells me
 
“You do not own that account”.
(Cue piss boiling and steam emanating from ears…)
“WHADDYA MEAN I DON’T OWN THAT FUCKING ACCOUNT YOU DUMB FUCK OF A SERVER? OF COURSE I OWN THE FUCKING THING! THAT’S WHY I’M SIGNING IN WITH THE RIGHT USERNAME AND PASSWORD. STUPID CUNT.”
 
I get really quite upset with that particular message, I can tell you.
 
I too refuse to sign in with Facebook. I have an account, which I never use, but I’m immediately suspicious when asked to do so. I use a live streaming site for football (personally I don’t give a flying fuck about football, but my wife is a Man U fanatic. No, I don’t understand it either.) which gives me streaming options, i.e. Sopcast, Veetle or ‘other’. Veetle used to provide good streams, but now they ask you to sign in with your FB account, so I haven’t used them since.
 
I think that Disqus gives you the option to answer comments as and when you like. It seems to work ok for DP, and appears to be quite a good system.

I’ve tried clearing the cache but no joy. I’ll do a little more digging.

Fuck it – They are more than welcome to my Facebook details.  They’re all lies anyway.  :twisted:

Bill – It sounds like a bird-watcher’s book?  Aren’t bird-watchers called Twitters?  That kinda brings us full circle….

A puzzle:

Whenever I look at http://smokingoutthetruth.com/, the latest post appears as April 23rd 2012. I had assumed there were no more recent entries but today, via the Octabber facebook page, I discovered there was at least one new posting (http://smokingoutthetruth.com/the-laws/) and 2 new buttons at the top: ‘The Laws’ and ‘The Scientific Scandal of Anti-Smoking’.

Not sure if it is just me so I’ll ask around.

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 18:06:49 +0000 http://www.headrambles.com/?p=5023#comment-38796 The reason why sites want you to sign in with your Facebook account is so that they then can harvest/mine all your data from your account.

They then use this information to completely fuck you over with bullshit spam target you with advertising.
