login issue

[tundra lodger]

I did see the 'margin' flip last night....many will be happy that our names/avatars, etc are back on the left.

However, now I'm having trouble logging OUT. Clicking on the Logout tab takes me back to the main WSA page (huh?), and if I click on the Forum link from there, I am automatically logged in to the forum. (I have never checked "Login automatically").

Browser or board issue? Never had this happen before in Firefox, and I haven't upgraded any software lately. Ideas anyone?

Thanks for all you do!

(Security-wise, I know closing the browser fixes this, but it continues to happen after restarting and reopening the browser.)

My problem is, I couldn't log IN - had to use an original username and password (supplied by the WS office), and now it has me with a new username (and not my chosen one, "myonly"). I sent a note to Richard for help.

I also noticed that the log-in screen was different this morning.

Funny how when you're used to a certain routine, something deep down rebels when it's altered!

I had to contact Richard also. Our website upgrades volunteer, Ron Rattie, is responsible. He's giving everyone just one user name and pw -- the one assigned to you as a WSA member. If you'd prefer to have the one you selected for the forum, Richard can change it for you. I believe the intent is to get everyone to first go to the WSA homepage so that all forum visitors are alerted to all of the services that WSA provides.

Not a bad idea. But tundra lodger is correct. We are not able to log out. Kinda like that MTA song!

Or Hotel California!

I can log out, but only by doing it twice. When I logout from the Forum page, it takes me back out to the main WS page. If I select logout again from there, in the the new box with our name and avatar, I am then logged out.

So, it seems that we really cannot log out directly from the Forum page any longer.

I was thinkin', as I was reading this thread,
"for once I am NOT having the same problem first". Then I went to click on the next "NEW POST", HA - I am stuck in this thread, can't go anywhere...surprised it let me post a reply.

To old for this.

Richard, I tried what you said to the letter...and found that the USERNAME section does not have a blue box around it, and I cannot change it back to my chosen name (myonly) no matter what I do. I did create a new password, logged out completely, then came back in and found I'm still "gabriele.ortiz9".

I'm bummed too because I can't access the messages saved in my "myonly" PM section.

Frustrated.

[gabriele.ortiz9]

testing...

[gabriele.ortiz9]

testing again! I can log in as "myonly" now, but for some reason, it won't log out of the gabriele.ortiz9 account.

Still can't get to my previous posts and PMs.

I think I need to throw in the towel for today.

[Richard]

myonly:

Please log out from the webpage. Then login on the webpage as myonly (I changed your username for the website).

Change your password to the one you use for the Forum. Then click on Forums to get to the Forum as myonly. From now on you Must log in and log out from the Webpage.

Please post here to confirm it works!

[myonly]

Got your PMs Richard, so I'm testing.

I think it's fixed!

(((((((Richard)))))) Today, you DEFINITELY the man!

It is not saving my password change. This is the biggest mess I have EVER seen on this board.

I am one cranky moderator emeritus right now.

I'm skating on borrowed time, as I have my home computers and blackberry set to login automatically...but when they stop doing so (which occurs periodically)...it may take a while for me to get back on, *if* I get back on.

I'm not understanding the instructions (or the rationale behind them)...and the email I used to set up my account contains my first and last name, which I never intended to use as my screen name on the forum.

As a paying member, I can't see any benefit whatsoever to this change. Quite the contrary.

If you don't understand the instructions, please EM me at forumadmin@wellspouse.org

1. Go to the website http://wellspouse.org, and login there, with your website username,
(the website Username is the first part of your EM address)
(If you didn't have a website Username before, or didn't go to the website then your best bet for that password is wsf1988)

2. Change that website password to the same as your Forum password.

Then give me:
1. your website Username
2. your Forum Username

I will make the change to synch the two accounts.
