Edit Email and Password

[Turtle]

Doesn't work. I enter my login and pass (even though I'm already logged in) and then I type in the Access Code, and it goes through the "Validating Login Credentials" and comes right back to the same login page and tells me that "We could not log you in."

Happens quick, too. The grayscale circle thingy barely makes it around one time before it tells me I can't be logged on.


NOTE: If you keep coming back to this screen every time you try to log-in, please try one of the following things to fix the problem

Okie dokie

1) Make sure your 'cookies' are enabled (lower your security settings),

Done

2) Delete all your 'cookies' (under 'Internet Options') and log-in again, or

ALL my cookies? Sorry, not gonna happen. Not without a really good explanation as to why my, say, amazon.com cookies need to be deleted in order to enjoy this Web site.
But, I did delete any and all cookies related to EO.

3) If you use AOL, try accessing this site with 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' after you connect with AOL.

Don't use AOL. Don't use Microsoft Internet Explorer, either. I use Firefox, but I can't imagine what that would have to do with it.

Logged in with MSIE and tried the same thing. When it gets to the part about Validating Login Credentials, the nifty pretty grayscale gif just spins and spins forever and ever. And ever.


Clicking on the "Login" link in the menu bar, right below "EO Classified Home" and just to the left of "How It Works" yields the same login problems.


Also, I only get one option with the Edit Avatar module, which is Do Not Use one. Kewl.

Turtle,

Sorry you are having difficulty. This is a bug that we are aware of and are working hard to resolve. It is at the top of our list. More to follow.

What is the access code??

What is the access code??

It's a code, in this case 4 letters, that are in graphical format rather than in textual format, that you have to read and then manually type in, thereby preventing automated bots from being able to read it and automatically register themselves onto, say, the Classified or the Forum sections, and then go crazy with posting SPAM.

The access code changes each time you go to register anew, and ostensibly won't even be an issue to already registered users once the bug gets fixed. It's just one of those things a new user has to deal with when registering on the site for the first time.
