Hoookay, so I logged out of the forums, attempted to log in to MacTech, and got the expected error message. I then clicked on the "Forgot your password?" link, received the email, and clicked on the enclosed link. This took me to a page stating that my username had been validated, and provided me with a one-time login button to access my account. Pressed the login button and...........

I'm having the same issues with my MacBozo credentials. Also, it does not recognize my email, so I can't even reset my password. Works fine for the test "sock."

Edit: OK. Changed my email address and password. Confirmed address and attempted to login through www.mactech.com - still no go. Are there characters that are not allowed in the password? Why does it work for logging in to the forum and not at the main site?

Edit #2: It apparently does not like "MacBozo" as the user name. Does it also want 8 characters for that?

Yes, that works fine. What still doesn't work is when you quit Safari or Firefox, then relaunch and come back to the forums. You are logged off of the forums, but still logged onto MacTech.

The only way to stay logged onto the forums between quits is to click the Log In link in the forums, and log in from there but making sure you check mark "Remember me each visit."

Interesting. I don't see this at all for me. Anyone else see this activity?

Thanks!

I did fully reset both Safari and FF first BTW.

I am using 10.5.8 and the latest Safari and FF. I logged into an offsite machine that I administer remotely that is on 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4, the same thing happens.

The following also happens with either reboot or a test user I made recently, from both home and a remote machine.

To add another twist. After I Quit and relaunch and it has logged me out of the forums, sometimes it won't let me log into the forums even if I go to Log In at the forums. I enter my info and it just takes me back to the forums but not logged in. If that happens I have to log out of MacTech, then log back into MacTech which also will then log me into the forums.

And a twist on that. Sometimes it doesn't automatically log me into the forums by logging out then logging back into MacTech when the above happens, I have to quit the browser first.

I've tried this dozens of times, am I trying too much too quick, some kind of flood control?

I got logged out from the forums too when I quit Safari and then came back to the forums. Let me try it again.

edit: OK, I did what Reboot said--logged in on the forum page and checked the stay logged in box, then quit Safari and came back to the forums. I was still logged in.
