Hi all,

This thread is meant for just one thing -- debugging the issues with old user logins for MacTech/MacNews and the AppleCentral Forums.

First step. Please reset your password (or do a lost password) at MacTech.com or MacNews.com (same backend).

Let me know how that works.
Thanks!

Neil

Laughing_Cow password has been reset, but the Cow is not smiling. I was able to log in to MacTech with the new password, but not the forums.

Well, I tried to log in to MacTech using the username password I'd registered before, which is the same as the ones I use on the forums. It wouldn't allow me to do it. I then tried to register again, using the same username password--and got told I couldn't do it because the username was already in use. Duh--it's me!

Do you think there's a password issue? Can you log in at MacTech.com? If not, can you use the lost password mechanism and see if that works for you?

Hey hey, Neil, that worked! I got the one-of login email, changed the password to what it was before, and now I can log in. I tested it by logging out of the account at MacTech then logging back in. I was already logged in on the forums so I don't know if logging in over at MacTech logs me in over here--but I really don't care. I'm just happy that the login issue is resolved. Thanks!

Old member login still not working for me. I tried resetting my password as suggested, but was not able to, my user name or email address were not found.


I was able to create a new user and login into the forums, MacTech and MacNews.

What happens if you try to register the username that doesn't work on MacTech?

Tried creating the account at MacTech with the old user name, password and email, would not let me. Tried a different e-mail account and password still would not work.

Now that you can log in at MacTech, what advantages do you have over not being logged in? You can comment on the articles there. Anything else?

I created starmill Ethel and logged in at MacNews. I read an article until it says go to "more" which takes more seconds wait. I then enter a subject line [why] and make a comment. I must preview the remark [no choice not to preview it] and then after it is submitted I went to the top of the page to click on "MacTech" news and waited while it slowly came back on my screen. [Slower than our forum pages reload.]

While still logged in as starmill Ethel I saw a list of latest topics on the right side of MacNews page and clicked on one. I went directly to the Forums and the page I selected. But -- I was KateSorensen as I was already logged in there. That's fine with me.

I just do not see the need to log in at MacTech news if making comments is the only advantage and it is too slow a process. Might be nice to read other people's comments, but there is no indication of any comments unless you look at the end of each article!!

Kate

I couldn't log in either. I fixed it by using the "Forgot Password" feature, logging in, then changing my password back to what it was. I was able to get back in with my old password then.
