Login & Posting Problems - Member Discussions & Advice

The invalid email address may be your problem. I've seen that happen before. If you can log in, go to the settings link at the top of the page and edit your email address to a valid one it may fix your problem.

Another similar issue I've seen was cookie related. After you've changed the email address you may want to manually delete the cookies for this site and see if that resolves the issue.

[QUOTE=YourSite;1329078]I created this account for help. I have an account (have had it for quite a while) where I can log in, but when I try to post, the page behaves as if I need to log in. If I do, I wind up in circular logins. Maybe because the email address for my original account is gone?[/QUOTE]

I am new to this board and Have posted many reviews on different threads in different states. My forum title says I am a forum adviser and not a regular member. I have tried numerous times to change it but there is no option to do so. Please any advise would help. Thank you!

If you're not Windows savvy, skip this request for tech help.

But the problem only seems to happen on this site.

Using Firefox, the browser never connects. Bring up the Task Manager and the Mem Usage for Firefox only increases. No other tabs will connect while the browser is doing this. Ending the process stops the problem, I can re-open and browse elsewhere.

If I try IE8. 0, I reach a login screen, I enter my user name and pw, get the message I'm logged in, then am immediately logged out.

If I use my iPad, no problems at all. So I'm kinda like WTF is wrong?

I had a techie on remote all yesterday afternoon doing scans, cleaning, and tuning up my system and all that has made no difference. Same problem today.

I'm fuckin' clueless at this point. Any suggestion? Did the "warden" sneak a Sex Guide" condom on my pc?

Thanks in advance.

The Firefox issue was a cookie problem. My auto cookie-clearing software didn't do the job that a manual look into the cookie jar took care care of.

I'm still working on the IE thing.

I've been experiencing a problem similar to the one reported here. I will log in, the site will flash the login message, asking me to wait while it sends me back to the main page, then the main page comes up, but I'm not shown as being logged in. If I were to guess, I'd guess that there is a possible problem in the site software not properly handing the authentication between the login page and the main part of the site. Any thought from Jackson?

When I use the login page you get when the site thinks you're trying to post without permission, I can log in AND get the site to "remember" me by checking the "Remember me" box below the login dialog boxes.

What people seem to forget is to include is pertinent info like which operating system and browser (including the version) the're having problems with.

Since this doesn't appear to be a site-wide issue or something every member is experiencing, it would indicate it's your browser. If you have another browser, try it and see if the issue disappears. Every issue I have seen like this and related to log-in problems is cookie related. I have seen on IE 8 and 9 where clearing the temp. Internet files fixed an issue. Manually delete all the cookies for this site and see if it clears your problem.

I have been "locked out" for about a month. The system would not send out an email to me in the "lost password" routine. I even tried creating a new user but still didn't get the emails, even on a "free" email service. Today they all came.

After the last software update (quite some time ago) , I was unable to log in and have priviledges (it would recognize my log in but not give me any permissions) without going thru the lost password routine, closing mu browser, deleting all cookies, history, temp files etc (window washer by webroot). Then relaunching the browser, drill down to a specific thread, enter my user name and the temp password. Nothing else worked. Every time required the same procedure!

Along the way I got a new computer. I thought surely that would help. No, still the same issue to get in. Now running Windows 7 64 bit and IE9. ISP's of Comcast or Cox yield the same results. It really would be nice to get to the bottom of this issue.

I cannot post a new topic I get:

[quote]$bbuserinfo[username], you do not have permission to view this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your membership may not be activated.

Please click the activation link in the email you were sent, or click here to resend the activation email.

You cannot post reports, send private messages, or view the photographs until you activate your membership by email.

Your membership may not have the correct privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or access administrative features?

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account.[/quote]

Any idea? I have already clicked on the e-mail activation link.

I have reached the magic number of 25 posts and have been a member for at least 9 months. So why does it still say I am a regular member? How do I contact the admin or whoever it is that decides these kind of things?

I've been trying without success to post pictures. I've resized my pictures but still nothing, please help me.

Could someone tell me how to use the search feature? I mean, I know how to use the search feature. But, everytime I type in a word it brings up the past posts that include that word. But, when I go to click on one of those posts. It takes me to a random page in the form that that post is in, and then I have to search for the date and time of that post manually in that forum in order to find that post. The search feature also used to highlight the word you typed in the box in the post that it was found in, which it no longer does.

Thank You

Curious to why I can not post for the past month or so when I was able to before.

Hello,

I'm able to log in without issue but, when I try to post or view a pic, I get that I do not have permissions. I hadn't logged on in a few months to post, has something changed? Or is there an issue with my permissions or settings? Any help would be great, I have a few reports to share.

Thanks,
