What browser, what operating system, what specific steps are used to sign in, does it always happen, sometimes happen, happen under specific conditions, do you run anti-spam software, anti-scripting software, run flash blocking software, etc.

No one else is reporting this, so it's a pretty sure bet it is related to your system or procedure. If you could spell out what those are, maybe there is a clue there.

Browers is Firefox latest
OS Win7 all updated
Steps no way two left feet and I'd sure be hitting every key LOL No I use my fingers.......I type my user name I type my PW if it fails I retype the PW some times 3 times.
No specific conditions
It has happened from time to time since I signed up more recently almost every time I try sign in.
That is until today.
Nortons in the back ground
Not having the issue on any other forum and there are a few.

Thanks

Ray


Yes thought fat fingers also or so cold I was shaking about to much even made sure I had my glasses on right way round. :D

GingerNut, nothing you've said so far provides a key to the problem. You've said in general terms that you use normal software and a normal procedure.

Specifics are a pain to write up, but necessary if someone else is to help. Somethng is different, you have to find that.

Brass_Machine:
Send me a message with the exact time it happens again. I will check the logs.

An option to try to see if it is with your computer or us... Next time you get a password failed, don't type it in the browser next time. Open notepad, type it out so you can see that it is correct, then copy and paste it in.

Sorry for not replying sooner busy doing other things like staying out of the old and ........cleaning up computer room. :whip:

I will send a pm with time and date of todays 3 time try of signing in and fail.

I did type it so I could see what I was typing yep key work fine fingers working fine hitting right keys etc.
I understand it could be a password thief but why only this website?

Ok I got in but only after having to alter-retype password activation process yet again. :Doh:

Some things to try Ginger Nut:

When password fails, hit Ctrl R to refresh the page and try it again -- does that work?

If not, look for the MadModder cookie and delete that.

Restart browser, and try to log in again.

Also you might try the above plus clearing your internet cache.
