#1143870 - Fri Sep 02 2016 04:35 AM Linking quiz to Facebook
darksplash Mainstay Registered: Sat Nov 03 2007 Posts: 506 Loc: Tyrone Northern Ireland UK	I wonder if I am doing something wrong? When I create a link to post a quiz onto Facebook, it shows there with my Funtrivia top row (sorry, can't think of an easier way to describe it.) That means anyone can see all my stats, messages and so on by clicking on the home icon and going to my FT home page. Any ideas? _________________________ There are just two types of people in this world, those who hear the music and those who don't.

LadyCaitriona Forum Champion Registered: Thu Feb 08 2001 Posts: 5985 Loc: Ottawa Ontario Canada	darksplash, I posted one of my own quizzes to Facebook. When I clicked on it, I was taken to the screen with the quiz, and with my top row (as you called it). Then I logged out of FT, clicked the same link from Facebook, and got the screen without a top row. I think you're only seeing it because you're logged in to FunTrivia as you. Non-members will not see your top row, and members will (probably, I don't have another login to test it) see their own top row.

Trouble is, I cannot log out of FT, no matter how hard I try. _________________________ There are just two types of people in this world, those who hear the music and those who don't.

When you log out, do you get the page that tells you to "click here" and then "click here" and then finally "click here". Follow all the "click here" links and you will be logged out for sure. _________________________ (*)> / ) /"

LOL. No, I literally cannot. I click 'log out' and nothing happens then I follow the 'click here' and then 'here' bit, but still it does not work. I am not terribly worried about it: there really is little need to log out on my own computer. _________________________ There are just two types of people in this world, those who hear the music and those who don't.

Of course if you delete all of them you'll have to log in to every site that requires membership, like Amazon or Gmail, but it's not a bad idea to clear cookies once in a while as you get a lot you never need twice. _________________________ The Hubble Telescope has just picked up a sound from a fraction of a second before the Big Bang.
