I’ve emailed you the new links.

I’ve emailed you new activation and password reset links.

I’ve emailed you new links for activating the account and resetting the password.

The link shouldn’t expire. But, if it’s doing just that, let me send both links again. That’s worked in the past.

Yes, that does make sense. I’m not the coder, so I can’t tell you why we’re limited to 4 characters per tag, but hopefully @manta2g can answer that for us.

I’m not quite sure what it is you’re asking. Searches are and will remain limited to a specific subdomain since each subdomain is a separate database, and it isn’t possible to search across the entire archive at once. However, searches within a subdomain can be done across all subcategories in that subdomain. If you wish to eliminate two tags while searching, you would type both tags in the search field, each preceded by a minus sign. However, it is possible that the search function remains disabled at the present time, while our coder continues to make sure the site is properly secured against another crippling attack which would force us to place the archive into read-only mode again.

Because of the new security measures, it seems the usual password reset link isn’t working properly. I can generate a working link however, and in fact have emailed a new link to you that should work if you follow the updated guidelines.

For the moment, certain features have been disabled while we make sure the site is properly secured against another attack on the site. Formatting in the RTE is one of those things that’s been disabled for the time being. As our coder continues to ensure the site is properly protected, she’ll be able to restore those functions. We’re a bit of a work in progress, but we think it’s better to be safe than sorry, and have the site shut down again for a few months.

Well, I can always generate new links as needed. I don’t know what the issue is, though.

I’ve sent you fresh links to activate your account and reset your password.

I’ve sent you new links via email.

It shouldn’t be related to that. Your IP here on the forum matches what I have in the archive. Did you clear your browser cache and history? It could be “remembering” your old password (the one with the illegal characters) which would be why you can’t log in. In any event, I’ve emailed you fresh links. Let’s reactivate and create another password...

As long as there’s no link in the story/chapter, or in your bio text, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. I have a line in my profile: “If you want to know more about the work I publish, you can visit my blog.” Of course, my blog has morphed into a freebie Wix website, but there you have it. I do have the link to that website in my profile as well. Adding a personal website is permitted by our terms of Service, as long as it’s not a link to your Amazon author’s page or the like.

Glad to hear it worked out! (And make sure you have a VERY good malware/antivirus running when you're on those public access wifi networks!)

I’m emailing you the email validation link and a new password reset link. You won’t be able to reset your password until you validate your email address, which hasn’t been done yet.

Aside from the obvious security risks of public access wifi, it’s entirely possible the IP changed from what we have in our database. I’ll email you fresh links. Revalidate, and then you should be able to reset your password, but keep in mind, if you are trying to use an old password when resetting, you are blanking the field and triggering another password reset. You shouldn’t need to reset your password every time you can’t log in. What you can do is clear your browser cache and history, click the three bars in the archive homepage and see if you are logged in or not. If you are, you’ll see your pen name. Log out, and then log in again, and it should work.

Are you using a VPN?

Please forward the email with the password reset information to tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org and I will be able to find your archive profile. I will then be able to delete that profile as you’re requesting.

Your archive profile has been deleted per your request.

It looks like you’ve validated the account, but you need a password reset. I’m emailing you the link to reset your password. If you run into any issues resetting it, you can reply to that email, and I’ll definitely answer since I monitor that inbox regularly.

I’m going to tag @manta2g and hopefully she’ll be able to pinpoint the issue for us.

We’ll try a fresh link, and maybe clear your cache just to be sure any old information isn't hanging about.

I’ve emailed you the activation link and a fresh password reset link.

The only thing I can think of is that the password doesn’t meet the requirements, or was perhaps not a new password. Password rules recap: Between 12-18 letters and/or numbers long, case sensitive. NO punctuation, spaces, or special characters allowed. Do NOT use your old password, or let Google make a strong password full of forbidden characters for you. If that’s not the case, let me know, and we’ll look into it further.

Just to be sure, is this your account? https://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=10113
