Can't login? - read this
Because of "robots" posting commercial links, and other "unwanted" anonymous posts... I've needed to make the Suggestions/Comments forum only
available to users that are logged in.
For those that need help because they *can't* login, you'll need to contact me directly via email. Use the "Email" link at the bottom of my post, or
simply type in (using an "@" for "at")

I have emailed you several times with my issue but never receive a response so decided to try here:
my original userid here is 'nancywinpdx'.
I can never sucdessfully sign in even when you reset the password which has been done many times. Will you please fix the problem? I have info in U2
messages I've received and would like to keep and use that info but can't access it. Finally, i got desperate and created this new account so i could
post. My email is madamdorkis@gmail.com
thanks
nancy

I believe you mean "nancyINpdx".

Does that
mean each new password does not work for you, or that you're not receiving it?

Generally, there's nothing on this side "to fix". Otherwise nobody could
log in. That means we need to see if we can determine why you are not able to log in, and how to "fix" your system.
Please pass along further details about what you're experiencing. Use u2u with your new login account, post here, or make sure you're confirming your
email address when my system sends a verification email to you from the bajanomad at escapist.com address (a necessity due to spam on that address
after 12 years or so of having it posted online... an unfortunate necessity these days).
Thanks,

Doug

Nancy,
If you look at the last login time here:
http://forums.bajanomad.com/member.php?action=viewpro&me...
...you'll see that I was able to successfully login using the password you emailed me.
Your email was in a queue waiting for verification, btw....
Issues are generally related to either:
A) copying/pasting the password, but adding a space character by accident in what gets copied. Or...
B) Security settings are disallowing the cookies the system uses to identify you.
A recent "new one" for me was someone that had the time on their system off, which I know can interfere with making a new post, but they also were
unable to login. FYI.
Please advise, either by u2u, posting here, or email. I've whitelisted your email address, so you do not need to confirm your address again.

Actually, in a "blinding flash of the obvious" - if you're able to login as nancywinpdx, then the issue is making sure you're entering the correct
username/password combination for nancyinpdx. Again, I was able to login using the password you sent me, so please try again with that. Be sure to
avoid any extra space characters.
Thanks,
-
Doug

Hi Doug
I just tried again. nancyinpdx and I do not cut and paste the password. I do not have a computer so I can't play with any software or do a cut and
paste. I've always accessed this place thru my WII game system. I am gonna request a new password again. But this has been happening for quite a
while and it keeps happening with each new password. The current password is really weird. I will write back here and let you know if it works with
a new password. Is it 3 lowercase 'l's in my password? If my next attempt does not work with the new system generated password, may I pleeeeease
choose my own?
thanks
nancy
This new userid and password have always worked fine and I do nothing different. Maybe I should use the new email userid nancywinpdx@gmail.com?

I just don't log out. I did not log out one time and the next time I brought up the board I was already logged in. I have gone through 3 or 4
passwords until I discovered the trick to it.

That'll work until your "cookie" expires. I believe it's 90
days.
