vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "More ACARS - " 01-05-02, 17:18z  Ben - When I logon to the VPC and click Message Forum, the Forum Conference window opens along with the ACARS window. I close the ACARS window and select the FSForum. The message window opens. I click a message thread and the thread window opens and the ACARS window reopens. If I close the ACARS a second time, it stays closed. Also, is there a way to have the VPC remember the window size and position? A cookie possibly? Every time I read messages, I have to resize the Forum screens. OK, that's enough to keep you busy for a few days Vic Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Tom Hayward Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: More ACARS - " 01-05-02, 17:32z  Hi Vic, I will have to experiment a little bit with that one. I have not noticed, as I don't close the ACARS window right away. It might be some of the cookie testing on the initial open. Do you close the ACARS windows BEFORE you are logged in? In other words, do you close the ACARS windows while the screen is saying welcome back, and before the "Flight Adventures ACARS" windows has logged you in? I don't recall if the message board window is using a set size, so I will have to look that up, or let Ben answer if he know right off the top of his head. What OS and Browser version are you running? Thanks _________________ Thomas S. Hayward Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Message board come up with which ever size the user has set for IE. ACARS is a set size tho. Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Could you explain what you mean? No matter what size I set the windows to, if I close and reopen them, they revert to the original. I don't click full screen but I drag to the size I want. Neither ACARS or the Message board retain these settings. Vic Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Neither ACARS or the Message board retain >these settings. Greetings Vic: For me, IE will "remember" the the size of the window that I last dragged it to when I last shut it down. Of course, that would require it to be the last window of IE you shut down. Hmm, then again, if you access via the main URL, the last window shut down would be the main VPC window. Try resizing IE at another url, then shut it down and launch it again. FYI, I'm still using IE 5.5. ACARS will not retain a resize. Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

THat's true but as you noted, the main window is the VPC. When I restart, it's full screen but the mb popup still comes up small.

Have you changed your cookie security or installed a cookie blocker? Are you running the same version of IE you used before? Thanks!

There's no way for the system to recognize you again unless you accept the cookie ("remain logged on when you return later"). This will eliminate the not logged on window -- at least for 24 hours (the cookie expires every 24 hours). The reason why ACARS works when you actually log in is because we send your login information to ACARS when you log in. If you don't log in or have the cookie, there's no way for ACARS to pick up you info. > 2/ no changes on this PC (office pC) running the same IE 5.50.4522 If this the system behind the firewall, it may be blocking cookies as well.
