Your account had not been activated, which I’ve done for you. Now to get you into the account. First thing, before you proceed. DO NOT use anonymous browsing for this part. You can go back to it afterwards. Be sure to do this from the main page: https://www.adult-fanfiction.org No matter WHICH browser, you must clear cache and cookies for ALL TIME. If you are using Apple products, you must clear cache in all your devices as the products link together. After doing the clear, close and restart your browser. Finally, you need to force refresh. (Press Ctrl+F5) That should fix the issues. You should be able to proceed once you do that. If you’re getting an error about activation, go to the register link and select the drop down option of “resend activation”. Remember, major software changes generally do require this sort of action. If, after all this, you’re still experiencing issues with the age verification, in Chrome/Edge, press F12 to access the console. You’ll see the exact error being generated. Let us know what it is. If you are experiencing bugs, please post them to the bug tracker. What we will need from you are specific steps you took to get the error, and screen shots if you are able. This will help in getting everything fixed, if there are bugs.

If you can give me your pen name or user ID number, I can check the status of your account. If you need to be validated, I can do that for you. Then you can proceed with the registration process as follows: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/77064-upgrade-complete/#comment-458942 That explains what you need to do.

And this is why I don’t code, no matter how much AI is trying to convince me that it’s a good idea.

Yay! Trust me, I blew up my login twice in the beta version, but I got there eventually!

Have you followed the steps outlined in the most recent news article? You can read it here: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/77064-upgrade-complete/ Your old password should still work, and you should be able to log in if you follow the steps outlined. If you normally browse in incognito mode, you will need to turn that off just when logging in for the first time, so you can set the site cookies. After you log in successfully, you can resume browsing incognito with no problems.

I’m glad you were finally able to log in, and thank you!

A couple of questions: What’s the pen name you use in the archive? Are you trying the login from the main page? https://www.adult-fanfiction.org/

I’m glad it finally worked!

Are you trying to access the site from the main page? https://www.adult-fanfiction.org/

I’m showing your account as not having been reactivated after the last software upgrade. Try starting from the home page here: https://www.adult-fanfiction.org/ If you are able to get past the age verification, you’ll need to request the activation link to be sent to you.

You all are making me miss my IBM PC XT, with its blazing fast 8088 CPU, 64k of RAM, and that spanky 10MB hard drive. And talk about operating systems? MS-DOS, baby! (I blew up 2 XTs and an AT before they gave me a PS 2, guaranteed not to faint under pressure.)

Hi! Apologies to Jashley for somewhat hijacking his thread, but… The home page of the archive is headed “Latest News” which is also linked to the Site Announcements on the forums. I think the cookies issue as far as losing everything is valid. Chrome (my browser of choice) used to allow me to delete specific cookies. It may well still do so, but I just threw in the towel and deleted everything. As far as the historical cache, Chrome differentiates between browsing history and cached images and files. I deleted the cached materials, but not the browsing history, and I was able to log in. I just had to do it a couple of times, because I was also in and out of the beta version, which was also setting cookies and cacheing files. When browsing in incognito mode, the browser will not allow cookies to be saved, so that’s why we ask that you turn off incognito mode until you’ve logged in and set the new site cookies. Once you’ve logged in, you can go back to incognito mode. I don’t know if this helps, but I do hope it will at least clarify.

Incognito mode is a browser setting. You would need to go into your setting on Chrome itself, and make sure you are not browsing in incognito mode. I would also recommend allowing third party cookies for the moment until you have logged in. You can turn them off again after you’ve accepted the AFF cookies at login. It’s also possible that any ad blockers you might be using could be causing an issue. You might consider whitelisting AFF on your ad blockers, or turning them off until you’ve logged in for the first time.

If you haven’t closed the browser and restarted it, you should do so. If you have closed and restarted the browser, and still can’t access the site, you can try using CTRL + F5 to force a reload of the browser. That may clear up the issue and ensure the cache and cookies are properly deleted.

I think all of us on staff feel the same way about the site. It’s a home online for us all, and we all want to make this site a haven for our members. We all have each other’s backs, and honestly, I can’t imagine not being a part of AFF. And that goes for all our members, too. I’ve gotten to know some of you, and I thoroughly enjoy feeling like I can make friends here like all of you.
