Hi Y'all. This is Tom K. Last Sat. I registered as a user here and changed my password. Everything was swell but when I tried to log in later the board wouldn't let me. I figured that when I changed my password I must have typed it in wrong, so I used the email to admin form to ask to have my password reset.

After a few days I got impatient so last night I registered as a new user (tommyrot). I successfully loged in and changed my password, being certain that I entered it correctly. (I also selected the "remember me" option and I have cookies enabled.)

But once I quit Mozilla, I was once again unable to log in. It's as if the password I changed to was not saved correctly on the server.

So, can someone please reset my password? Please please please? (I'll make you fudge....) At this point I think I want to keep the 'tommyrot' account so that's the one I want reset.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Tom: will do.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Done, Tom.

Hmm. Done twice.

Argh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Tom, that happened to me the first time I registered, and it turned out to have been because the confirmation link got truncated by a line break in my email. Could that be what's happened?

There's a few people who seem to have had problems the last few days. I wonder if they're hitting the database connection issue when they try to activate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yippee! I'm me again. Thanx.

When I went to reset Tom's password, I noticed that his tommyrot account wasn't activated, which shouldn't be because he'd already posted using it. Which means it got deactivated somehow. Is that possible without stompy intervention?

DX, you were the second to reset my password. When a password is reset, is an account deactivated until the user reactivates it?

No, resetting the password doesn't normally deactivate the account.
