Can't login without using the "lost password" email

Whenever I try to log in, I always get the wrong password message. So I just fill out the little "lost password" form, get the email, click the link, then go change my password. The problem is, whenever I try to log in with the new password, I still get the same message, no matter how much I make sure I spelled it correctly/didn't leave capslock on.

RE: Can't login without using the "lost password" email

Are you trying to use the link in the lost password email every time? It is a one-time-use link.

Also, are you trying to use your email address as your username? You should be using your username for the site, riinamuras, instead of your email address.

These are the two most common reasons for the behavior you are seeing. Please let us know how things proceed for you.

RE: Can't login without using the "lost password" email

No, I had to send a new email every time I wanted to login.

And yeah, the email-address-as-the-username was the kicker. All my other websites make me use the email, so I guess I'm kinda used to it. At any rate, I feel rather stupid now. Thanks!

I think you should try sending an email to the tech team, cuz i was the one who posted earlier on how i didnt even get a "lost password" email. But after sending a mail to the admin, i managed to get my account back.

You were once here, in time out of mind......

RE: Can't login without using the "lost password" email

I've been having the same problem with my account... whenever I try to log in with the correct password, it tells me I have it wrong. I have to fill out a "lost password" form and reset it each time I want to access my account. The only other solution I can think of is never logging off of my internet.

When you log in... are you using your email address as the ID? If so, don't! Use your site username, bringingupsammy.

Well, now I feel really silly. :) It's working now, thank you. I have the settings saved on my computer to automatically insert my email address into that space, so I didn't think anything of it.

I am glad it's working! You are not the only one who has had this issue, so don't think anything of it!

I'm not typing in my email adress and I'm still having this problem.

EDIT: Nevermind, it fixed itself :)
