If the cookie that manages this session is ever revoked, then I will have to start over.
Fortunately I can test logging in on a few other machines. After following their instructions precisely, it will not log me in. I cut and paste the email listed in Account Summary, and no good. So, I am sure that many others are frustrated by this attempt to add "new features" by the IT department at NBC-U (probably sub-contractors though). When I try to send a PM to admin1 or scifiadmin5 I get : QUOTE The following errors were found There is no such member - please check the name entered and try again. This personal message has not been sent. Come on skiffy! Just put things back the way they were, and blame Russian hackers on the difficulty of today. No feature you are trying to add justifies this headache. -------------------- A special message to all my enemies:

For those who just can't take it any more, why not go on over to http://www.galacticabs.com/ if you want to post on a board that works most of the time.

Thank the Lords that I still have one machine with a cookie that actually connects me to this account.
Darth - click on the last post in the "Admin" thread - that's Admin1's old account - and send a PM via the conventional means (her profile). Admin1 - Yes, you do have a PM from me, from my other larocque6689 handle. I have no idea how this system got broken but I would love those changes rolled back so I can log in again! And yes, this is a FULLY FUNCTIONAL BSG Board! It really can handle the bandwidth too. http://www.galacticabs.com/ It works and it won't toss your cookies... --------------------  Only love Only love can leave such a mark But only love Only love can heal such a scar |

I did click that and attempted to send a message that way.
Check the "members search" and you will find no admin1 and no scifiadmin5 in that list. Whatever they are up to, it isn't working, and it probably never was a good idea. -------------------- A special message to all my enemies:

GBS is more mainstream, less extreme, and not inhabited by TOaSters.

I have tried the "other" email account as well.
It isn't anything that I am doing wrong. It is a problem with the changes they have tried to implement. -------------------- A special message to all my enemies:

I"m guessing that this whole revamp of membership was probably a bad attempt to weed out fake handles and trolls.

Somehow I suspect if the plan was to reduce the population of sockpuppets that it is about to backfire.

I suspect it has more to do with making their mailing list easier on someone who doesn't have to deal with the headaches of the message board.

The system doesn't recognize my current email. My "old" email places me into a handle with my exact same handle name that's been reset to start, and actually doesn't work. A most interesting "upgrade". As you said earlier, thank god for cookies (for now). -------------------- |
