Ever since the update i haven't been able to login to my account, so i had to make a new one even though that took a couple hours to actually get it to login but i want my old account back, i tried doing the forgotten password thing and it still said my username and password was wrong even though it clearly told me what it was in the email.

I got the same problm. Can't login. In Safari I cant login. In firefox does work but not without a fight.

Sometimes. its says I am not loging, but when i click the the forum I am log in.

Cant workout how to use the new theme

Hi
Since the forum update I have the same issue when I want to login using Safari (I didn't try with Firefox). I type my username and password but a message saying "wrong username or password" pops up, and I can try it several times it never works.
The only way to login I found is to download a file in a thread, my username and pswrd are requested, and after downloading I refresh the page and then I'm in.
Regards

PS : I like the new forum

Thanks for the feedback guys - gonna look into this

@Caseyy. - which browser are you using?

I'm using Safari 3.2.1. I havent tried firefox.

I can't login to my old account either. I tried changing the password but it still won't let me log in.

My old account name is Beerkex'd. Maybe it doesn't like the apostrophe.

Same here, I cannot login to my usual account either....since the update I cannot re login

Have you guys tried deleting your Cookies and Cache?

- mcsmart

I shouldn't have to, this is a fresh OS install. But I'll try anyway.

...

No, that doesn't help.

The weird thing is that I can get a new password emailed by typing in either username or email address.

It just doesn't work on the log in screen for some reason.

Hello all,

I have been having the same issues, and ever since the "New Look". I have some good news for those of you who could not get into your old account and created new ones: You can get into your old accounts, and right now. Here is how you do it:

- Make sure you are logged out (from your new account)
- Now, simply continue to "try" to log in. Never mind the "you have entered a wrong user name or password" messages, just keep trying. After "some number of attempts", you can look up and notice that suddenly, you ARE logged in.

Now, if you have changed your password recently, make sure you are using your most resent password change (duh).

This needs to be fixed ASAP, as it is really a nuisance.

Thanks!

Guys, today we uploaded a new build of the forum with a newly programmed login method - please clear your cache and cookies (reset your browser) and let me know if you're still experiencing any problems, but hopefully that should be the end of it!

I use Safari 4 Beta and even with v3 I could. Guess that isn't like that for all users.

So I lost a paragraph of text trying to post as the site is slower than molasses flowing up hill in january. Great! Nothing has changed since the forum update then.

Now back on to what I was originally posting:

I have been unable to login on and off for the past month (since the site "update"). The only reason I am in now is that I had a cookie from a few days ago.

Add this to the fact that the password reset function is completely hosed. You get to the form to fill out info and the confirmation image wont show up.. you have to reload the image like 5 times before you get anything.

When you finally get the form submitted and your new password you still can't login.

How can a site like this roll crap out without testing it and leave it in this state for over a month? Personally I can't be bothered to browse these forums any more. It takes like 10 mins to get anywhere and then you can't login to post.

EDIT while trying to post this I was presented with:

Congratulations of officially screwing the number #1 hackint0sh website on the internet for ad revenue.

I can now use my original account but only using Safari or Opera, Firefox won't let me log in even with cookies and cache cleaned out. Hmm, still definite progress, thanks Ed/team.

@Rockett - are you sure you're not now able to login because we've actually fixed the issue?

Am looking into the reset password issue next, thanks for flagging this up!

I still can't log in to my old account.



Still doesn't work for me in neither Firefox or Safari, with caches and cookies cleared. I tried more than 10 times in a row.

hi ed!

sorry guys, but i (aprodigy; supposed to be some super-duper global-mod) cannot log in myself anymore either. i don't know how many times i've been resetting my browsers, deleted IM's cookies by hand (cause *bad me* even likes some cookies besides of IM's), emptied the cache or whatever to get in here again: ED it just does NOT WORK! there is no message coming up or so, the forum-index reloads and i'm still anonymous.

well then: i don't have time this!
been beta-testing microsofts stuff for two decades and decided to stop on being so stupid. and now, *no*! i definately won't be beta-testing things you guys mess up anymore! time's up, the chances passed you by. i'm outta here!

get yourself a new mod, will ya?!

-aprodigy

I too have issues logging in under both Mac and Windows on Firefox

Just to update, I am able to login with Firefox, now. The previous night only Opera and Safari were working for me. All good, here, with thanks.

@ludacrisvp - what is your username?

@aprodigy - have e-mailed you

@Gringo Vermelho - what is your username?

Beerkex'd

(yes I know it's retarded but I still want it back)

S

this did the trick: downloaded a file and entered the username and password there. after this I was logged in could change my password. now it works again as usual - coudos to boombeng

Hey, thanks for that man. Worked for me.

Say goodbye to Gringo Vermelho!

Ludacrisvp is my only username on here.

I only have issues logging in when the page is in the new skin, not the Insanely Beautiful skin.

My account (StrangeWill) will not log in, I put in the login info, no messages of failure, and it still says "hello guest".

I cannot login from the main page too.

Worked fine on this account though.

sure, im not the most active of members here, but when i come to the number 1 site on hackintoshs, i expect to be able to login. I dont know what the hell is wrong, but this new layout is horseshit. and obviously these idiots here, http://www.do1.uk.com/, cant code worth {censored}. i would be able to code a skin better than they did, and one that worked at that. despite how great of a site this is, im tempted to just leave and never come back, like some of your staff and countless others

this guy puts it great..

I have this problem with my account as well - Comedian. Have tried several times to reset the password using the form, and it won't accept the new password.

I tried all that is mentioned in this thread. I lost my account too and i emailed the support people thrice. They did not even have the courtesy to reply once. And I believe it is users like me who do not have several hundreds of post against their name that are mostly affected by this.




+ 1

For days I have been unable to log-in, despite having changed nothing. Even new passwords issued via e-mail failed to solve problem. But when I went to add a reply to this topic - and of course was not allowed to because I wasn't logged in - I tried again to login via the screen presented. This time success - I hope. now I have to see if I can revert to my old password, and not the unlearnable 15 character alpah-numeric monster which has just been issued.

EDIT: Further success - went into UserCP screen and changed my PW back to original. All this done with Firefox and Windows XP. Now I'm going to reboot into Leopard and see if I can get back into the forum.

Hi rdf1,
We have updated login script, Can you check if you can login using:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...gin&CODE=00

Im having the same problems. Had to register a new account. My old account was "Biovital". I tried resetting password, using the one in the email but it refuses. This is under Leo4All V3 and FF3. Same deal with Safari.

Do you receive any error messages ??
Have you tried to remove cookies/ reset you browser ?

Hi!

Same thing. With Firefox or Safari or Opera - all the same.
After password reset I can't login into my account. I tried reset password three or four times. With new e-mailed password I get message "Username or password incorrect".

I just want to restore my true account
My true[old] account name is
npwski
my e-mail is
np_wski[{at}]mail[{dot}]ru
Please help.
