Logged off and don't know why!

#1 Postby Annular Cane » Mon Aug 28, 2006 2:39 pm

Recently I got logged off the board (not my doing) and when I tried to log back in, I was told that something was invalid...either my email address or password, something like that. I can't remember the exact message. I had to re-register to get back in, using a different email address. Is it normal for this to happen? I don't want it to happen again.

I looked up your original username and it's active, so it should be working fine. Could you have typed in the wrong password? I can't see your old password, but I can reset it for you to log in, and then you can change it after you log in.

Btw, the email addresses are different under each username.

No, it's the right password. I just got logged off the system for some reason and couldn't get back in. I guess you could try doing that.

It may also be a corrupted or missing cookie. If someone ran AdAware and deleted the cookie then you won't get logged on automatically.

You're welcome. The other account won't be active, so you can continue to use this one now. :)

Funny this topic was posted, because I am having a wierd similar problem in that I keep getting logged off without me doing it. Once I view the forums I go to the home page and minimize the window and when I want to browse again I just maximize it and click forums, I never log out...ever. Now when I leave and come back to the forums I am logged out, and everytime I log back in I tick the keep me logged in box, and I leave, come back and I am logged out again. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue because I never have had it before. I also have not done anything as far as cleaning up my temporary internet files or cookies either. Thanks.

If the server goes down for any reason, many times once it comes back you will be required to sign back in and click the keep me signed in box again
