This is new to me. What kind of computer and browser are you using? And, at the risk of sounding like Jeff Dunham's ventriloquist dummy, have you cleared your browser cache?

peteski Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 How does password problem prevent you from posting? Does the forum (for no reason) kick you out from your account, or does it still show you as being logged in (do you see your name and link to your profile in the upper right corner of the website)? Why do you have to change the password?!?!?! The old password fails to log you in, and you have to use the password reset procedure? What exactly happens when you try to post a massage? Does the text window show up on the bottom of your screen? Can you type in there? Does the problem show up when you hit "Submit Reply" button? More details about the problem would be helpful to the moderators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it let me on.I changed my password again.I keep having to change my PW,what’s the deal.Later on,the website probably won’t let me back on.I just don’t understand why this is happening.I’ve never had this problem on this website.Has anybody out there have this happen to them?It will probably boot me off again.I even was thinking of going to a Verizon store,but I’m too lazy for that.It just keeps asking me to sign on with my screen name and PW,or PW,and my email address.Then it doesn’t do anything,but ask me to do a security check by entering and checking off pictures of cars,bridges,signs,etc.Then it asks me to secure my entry by re entering my screen name and PW.Then I get a message in red that someone is using this email address,Yea ME.Frustating,bored,out of work,so I go on this site.Idk what else to say.????Arrrgggg.Whats weird is it asked me to change my PW,which I did,and now it lets me on.Idk,any mire ideas.By the way guys,thanks for the help,,Dave Ambrose ? Peteski.????Ive been on this site since 2012,I think,& nothing like this has ever happened.Its really pissing me off.Arrrrggggg.Well I’ll just wait to see if I get booted off again.??

peteski Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Ok, so this is a sign-on (not a posting) problem. That is strange, especially that email warning. Maybe someone else (hacker?) created another user account here using your email address, and the forum software is not happy. That is something that (now that we have more details of the problem) hopefully the forum admins can look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Ron, the forum has the option to "join the conversation" without being logged in...... I bet that is the box you are clicking when trying to reply to something? It would probably send you thru a Captcha and all that to get a reply in....... If you're logged in you have a different reply box, and can post without the Captcha nonsense....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYLIBUD Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 I just changed my PW again,and again,it let me on.It says join the conversation,asks for my email address,I put it in,then it asks for security,I’m not a robot popop ups,then I can’t get on.Its weird,this never happened before.I am going to write down my newest PW in my notes.Sure hope I don’t have to keep doing this. Thanks again for all the help.See world now,after I changed my PW,for about the 10th time.??.So again,Jolly,what should I do?Why is it allowing me to get on the site,and then kicks my butt off a little later after I make some posts ,or respond to some posts.Ahhhhhhh,Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYLIBUD Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Happened again,Now it’s says insert into URL.Im as confused as a baby raccoon Lol It’s asking me if I want to sign on and it gives me two choices.I press the right user name,it automatically fills in the PW,Ive chosen,I hit the one I used,and it still won’t let me on.So once again,I change my PW,I get an email to change my PW,I change it,and then it works.Although this time I used the most recent PW I picked,and it worked.Idk.Im about to chuck my phone out the window.Lol?

peteski Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I don't use a not-so-schmart phone. I'm often logged in to the forum concurrently from multiple computers (Windows PCs) and stay logged in for days or weeks. I don't ever seem to get kicked off. If I want to logoff I have to left-click on my user name in the upper right cornet and click on "Sign Out". Sorry to say that Ron, but it seems that the problem seems to be on your end. Maybe your web browser is acting up, or maybe your password manager is flipping out? I can't help with that. Or maybe your phone/browser got infected by some sort of malware and it is messing up your access to this forum. Do you have another device (preferably a computer, not a phone) to and login from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have been logged in on multiple devices at the same time with no issues. I would log out of the forum, clear the cache, run a virus/malware scan and then log back in with the current info, making sure to NOT check any unwanted boxes. I was just able to login using my existing display name and password from my iPhone, while logged in on my work computer. Never sent to captcha or asked to do anything different.

Tom Geiger Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) When in doubt, reboot! Go to main page for this board. Click on the three vertical stripes in the upper right corner The top word should be “Sign Out” do so. Now delete every browser window showing. Turn off your phone. Wait a few minutes and turn on the phone again. That should’ve rebooted everything. Bring up board main page. Click on those same 3 vertical stripes. It should say “Existing Users Log in”. Do so and see how things go Edited May 13, 2020 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have MCM tabbed on two PCs, and saved to Home Screen on the Android. Even when I reboot these devices, MCM comes back up without me having to login. On other forums, I do have to login.
