Technical Help aout Library Computers

The short reply is that I haven't got a clue !!!.

If I had that problem though, there are a few possibilities I might start with.

If I had this problem on a computer at home or round a friends, then I would be looking to delete Internet History, Temporary Internet Files and Cookies from the computer, then re-booting and trying the site again.

If that doesn't work, I would be looking to use a program such as ZoneAlarm, (A Firewall Program), or some other software design to help you Surf the Web with some level of anonimity.

If that didn't work, I would probably Post a Topic on this Forum and hope some kind person had the answers I was looking for.

Of course I'm no expert with these things, but it sounds to me like the Site you're having problems with has stored some information on the Computer you've been having problems with, which means that when you log on to that Site from that Computer, the Site recognizes what has gone on before, (which I believe is a major reason for Cookies).

You probably won't have Administrators Access to all the relevant files etc on your Library Computer, but it might be worth asking at the Library if there is anyone there who can help you.

Post a response if any of this gobble-de-gook has been any help at all, so that I know what to do if I have a similar problem in the future.

Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!...................

The problem is that somehow, my library card bookmarked that information from where I left off, so that when I try to access that particular site, it's blocked. Whether or not the screen name and/or e-mail address you entered in in is blocked, you should still be access that website and log into it regardless.

Did you try asking one of the library staff for help?

Yes, she gave me some advice as to what to do, it didn't work.

If something is bookmarked, is there a way to get rid of it?

Ask again is my advice... ask a different staff member.

I don't think access is blocked because you failed to sign out, it sounds like access is blocked period.

Many libraries will block a wide range of sites to avoid being used as an anonymous place to communicate and many sites will block IPs used by libraries as well.

No, I have no problem accessing the site from another computer outside library computers and signing in. As I said, access from a library computer is blocked, because somehow the either the card or the computer system bookmarked the information I entered before Isigned out, and that was my fault for not signing out of the site before signing out of the system.

Site blocked from Library Computer
Just another couple of Ideas...
____ _1). Contact someone at the Site you can't access from the Library computer, and ask them if they can help you...
____ _2). Apply for a new Library Card...

:wink: If I think of anything else, I'll post another reply...... :wink:

I would pursue getting a new card as a last resort. I can wait for more input.
