Password doesn't work

[justinnerd]

I know this has been covered in this forum already... but it was a really old thread.

 

I was just accepted as an editor, and my username/password does not work.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful

 

My username is: justinnerd

 

Thanks for any help!

We're having some server difficulties right now which may be related. If you still can't log in tomorrow, please check back here and bump this thread.

Hi,

 

Same for me as well, username "dansk" would this be the same problem?

 

Regards

Very probably it is. As brmehlman wrote "If you still can't log in tomorrow, please check back here and bump this thread." This is for all new editors having access problems. Please wait one day, technical staff is working on the serverproblem.

To quote the current dashboard notice:

 

Important: Editing has been disabled to prevent any further damage from a recent system problem. The forums are fine, so please continue to use them, or go out and enjoy the sunshine/snow. We hope to have a status update for you soon.

To quote the current dashboard notice:

 

Ahhh, but those of us who were just approved (I'm in the same boat as the folks above) can't get to the dashboard.

 

A strange collusion of circumstances that lead to a "Uh, WTH?" reaction. *grin*

 

Cheers!

Just in the way of an update... still unable to login.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Back?

 

There is a new note on the dashboard. Looks like we might be good to go.

I am also a new editor and now unable to log in.

I was approved 9/6 and have logged in several times since then, but unable to do so today.

My username is "stampman100" - will there be a wait of some sort after the server problem is fixed before I can get back in?

 

**Update: I'm now able to log in.

[stampman100]

Now I am able to log in to my dashboard and I can make edits, but I cannot get into the editor forum. When I re-enter my username and password the sysyem does not recognize it. Can someone please assist?

[brmehlman]

A delay of a day or so before being able to log in to the editor forums is normal. It should work tomorrow.

[stampman100]

Okay, thanks for your help.

[justinnerd]

Still no love on the login...

 

I haven't been able to login even once since my original welcome email. Could it be my username and passowrd maybe??

[brmehlman]

It looks like a problem related to our recent server unpleasantness. I've notified our technical staff and given them a pointer to this thread.

[RogerFreeman]

My issues (which seemed to match the first batch) are now resolved. So, yes, I'd recommend you check the email that came to you with your user name and password, check the case you're using, and so on.

recommend you check the email that came to you with your user name and password, check the case you're using, and so on.

I'm afraid that's not going to help in this case. There's a problem with his account that I can see but have neither the skills nor the permissions to fix. The only thing I know how to do that might have worked, someone else has already tried.

 

We're still awaiting a response to my request from our technical staff. If it doesn't work a couple of days from now, please bump this thread and I or someone else will pester them again.

Still not working... Could you delete, then recreate the account?
