Title: Something wrong w/ registration?
Post by: stacer on February 12, 2005, 01:30:13 PM: I told a friend about TWG and he came over and tried to register, only to get an error on the registration page. He said he came back a couple times in the last couple days, got the same error. Not sure exactly what the error was, except that it wouldn't let him registe, but thought you should know about it.

I'll need more information, I'm afraid. I just made a test profile, and it worked fine. Ask him which class he is choosing, and ask him exactly what the error says. Also, login function is case-sensitive, so perhaps that is part of his problem.

The stupid computer keeps logging me off every time I go back to the main forum page. It's really quite obnoxious, and makes me want to hurt it. Grrrrr....

The computer you're useing has it's cookies blocked then, that's the only reason that the forum would do that.

Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on February 22, 2005, 05:58:25 AM: Mine uses cookies and does not have them blocked.

As an admin, my login for the forum also applies to admin features on the main page, and I've never had a problem either in IE or in Mozilla (the few times I've used it).

Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on February 22, 2005, 03:25:49 PM: neither sprig... safari is for use on my home computer... and its on medium security and accepting cookies from TWG as a trusted site... and I never used to have this problem on the site.

Post by: MsFish on February 22, 2005, 05:53:35 PM: I think that the computer I was using was just jacked up, because I found that if I hit refresh it logged me back in. Less obnoxious, but still weird. Who knows.
