[Having trouble logging in]

Tsutsuji,

1. If you read the FAQ on the topic that was clearly posted in the news which is posted to the forum, the archive, emailed to all forum users, posted on Twitter as well as our Facebook page, right at the top of the FAQ there is in bold letters a Please Note that states if your password is less than 8 characters you must reset it and links to the password reset.

Yes it does say that in the link from the main news post, I somehow missed that link when I first started trying to log in. Sorry about that.

And I have to admit, I just skim the news emails you send out because there is not usually anything this big that affects my use of the archive! I don't do FB or Twitter. I didn't know this change was coming until I tried to log in on Friday.

5. Yes, initially it does require a few steps, but for better security both for user accounts and the data - Again, small price to pay for a free service. Just think - You're done now, you won't have to do it again. As for the bank comment? My bank requires user name and state on the first page, then password on the 2nd, so long as the cookie is still in place - Heaven forbid that I cleared cookies or use a new device, cause then I have to remember the answers to my security question... etc etc... I like ours better!

Now that you mention it, I wish my bank did make it a little more difficult. Last time I changed my password I remember thinking there wasn't enough validation that it was really me making the change!

Sorry for griping, I was just getting frustrated but it's all cool now, and thanks for your help!

My old password was too short so the login page just ignored it, apparently. It would have helped it it said something about that on the login page. But I am finally logged in now, thank you.

I'm sorry to gripe, but I think this is unnecessarily complicated, with needing multiple validation emails and having to come to the forum (where I needed to go through the password reset process as well) to find out all the required steps. It's not exactly user-friendly. I know you guys mean well, but seriously, even my bank and my insurance company don't make it this complicated to change passwords and log in!

The first thing to check is if you responded to the validation email that would have been sent to you.

If yes, then look up top on the upper right corner, where there is a field that asks for your email, and another for your password if you are not logged in.

If it says, Welcome, [your name], then you're logged in. Either click "My Profile" or "Home" and check it out.

If this response is for me - I have not received any validation email. As I said, when I enter my email and current password and click login, nothing happens. It just stays on the login page. Is there supposed to be a message that says I've been sent an email? Because I'm not seeing that.

[Having trouble logging in]

I'm having a different problem logging in - nothing happens when I click the login button. It just stays on the login page. I've tried this in two different browsers. Any suggestions?

I did clear cookies on Firefox, and I've never used the site before on Chrome so that shouldn't be the problem.

[Added through 7/15]

Catagory name: Pandora Hearts

Section catagory to be in: Anime/Manga

Do you have any stories for it?: yes, 3

Aha, you just barely beat me to it, only because I was having trouble logging in to the forum! I heartily second the request for Pandora Hearts, with another story to add to the category, "Affirmation" which is currently in anime general->yaoi.

(sorry if I'm not supposed to reply to the requester's post, but I couldn't resist since I just this minute got onto the forum to make this same request, after DemonGoddess061 helped me find the problem!)

[Yuri Style Anime]

Thanks for the list! I love yaoi, but I really want to watch some yuri/shojo ai anime too.

[When ukes attack!]

I love it thought I don't... have not yet written one like that.

I love it when the hikari turns Top, or when the obvious seme turns uke (Kaiba, I'm lookin' at you!) LOL

That's why I wrote a couple of fics that way - DanceDance is RyouxBakura, and Call It Love is JonouchixKaiba. Fun times.

[Favorite Yaoi Pairing?]

My favorite has been and will always be:

Yami no Bakura x Bakura Ryou...

I completely agree with you! I love a lot of pairings, but they're my all time top OTP.

(and wow, is this forum dead or what? oh well... )
