I don't know but lately every time I enter my password and Im typing it EXCATLY the same way I registered it as, i get a "incorrect" password error.
For the last hour I tired 5 times and then got locked out for an hour (probably cause I kept retrying every 15 mins and it locked me out again after 1 attempt)

Am I the only one this has happened to or do others get it to?? Your typing the password correctly and excatly and still get an "inncorrect" error??

hey Tasha,
kitten and I have had that problem but now we have it set to remember the password so we don't need to type it in everytime so you might give that a try but you should be able to change the password if you need too along with contacting drew cause he might be able to do something also.

I do have it checked on "remember password" but it still makes me enter it anyway :( I did email Drew when I was mad and kept getting "acct locked" emails :) but he hasn't replied.

Definitely get in touch with Drew sweetie.

When you get the issue resolved, youmight find it helpful to click the "Remember Me" box when you log in. That way you don't have to keep going though this.

Tasha Hi Tasha,

I have to confess, because it's a free site with 45,000 members, I tend not to reply to emails where the person sounds mad.

We use, as the basis of the site, a very popular bulletin board software, so I am very confident that there is nothing wrong with the software (at least as far as the password system is concerned). I can't explain what you are experiencing and no one else has reported similar problems.

But if the Remember Me option is not lasting very long for you, then the cookie that it tries to set is probably being blocked. You should be able to fix that by adjusting your privacy/security settings to accept cookies from main.bisexual.com.

I'm not sure what else to suggest.

okies :-) Ill check that.

But what about it rejecting your password even tho your entering it excatly as you had it when you registered?? Sometimes it makes me think someone stole my password or something :( and its scary.

Thanks for replying :)

I agree with the others...but I know you have already contacted Drew. Changing the password might help too. :tong:

As silly as this is going to sound, it's something that has nailed me before on "passwords", . . . without my knowing it I had my "Caps Lock" engaged so I was typing all caps without knowing it since the password doesn't show the actual figures I'm typing, . . . LOL boy did I feel like a fool when I finally figured it out.

:) My CAPS lock was turned off as I always glance at the cap lock light before I type my password :)
