SMIFFGIG · September 10, 2002, 14:26

This is SOOOOOO annoying

I can log into the forum ok, it even auto logs in for me. I have my exact correct username and password as I got it mailed to me from apolyton itself (even though I already new it) AND! I stil cant log onto the Files section to rate some files

I want to rate Medieval Mod2, GoodMod and Martins new message Icons but it wont let me

It says I quote

Quote:

Login Incorrect

and then I say, I quote

Shut up! you stupid piece of crap!

Can anyone help me with this ??????

Have you changed your password on the forum?

In that case it won't update in the directory, so you shall use your old one.

SMIFFGIG · September 10, 2002, 14:46

Nope I have never changed my Password.. do i need to register seperatly?

If not is there anyway i can retain the pasword ?

Thanx for the help

SMIFFGIG · September 10, 2002, 14:54

Cheers it worked and I got a new password

However it STILL says "Login Incorrect"

I GIVE UP, CHEERS FOR THE HELP ANYWAY

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 14:57

I think I know the problem. It must be the ' in your name. I'll check on it...

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 15:14

It's definatel something with it. I'll bring the problem to Markos. He'll know how your Directory user got created (when you registered on the forums) and can therefore see what was done with the ' and whant should have been done with it.

Cheers Gramphos

MarkG · September 10, 2002, 15:29

you say you got a mail from the request passwod link of the directory??

there is no user in the directory with your e-mail(the one used in your forum account)

please edit your forum profile to create an account in the directory

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 15:31

He has an account in the Dir. id=2732

And as he registered after the first abd last nasmes got added he must have got one then.

MarkG · September 10, 2002, 15:46

the user search feature of the script's admin area refuses to find it

it need a "raw" mysql query to do it

lets see...

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 15:48

Are there any other users with ' in the names who have problems?

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 15:56

SELECT * FROM inl_users WHERE user_name = 'SMIFFGIG\'s';
will do it

MarkG · September 10, 2002, 15:56

SMIFFGIG's please try to login now...

SMIFFGIG · September 10, 2002, 16:39

I tried again and I got the same error as before

Quote:

Login Incorrect

UMM IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF YOU COULD ACTIVATE MY OLD SMIFFGIG account or change my name to SMIFFGIG and delete my old SMIFFGIG account.

I forgot the password for my old SMIFFGIG account so like a year and a half later decided to make my SMIFFGIG's account

The *DL dance*, first it should be mentioned that the old accont is disabled, if you believe SMIFFGIG's. Second the DL wasn't created for faking or something else otherwise the name would be a lot more different and created a year and a half afterwards. So the question is if it is really a DL, I would say no, but in the end Marcos has to answer this question somehow.

I don't think you can do that...

Why would you want to know it?

No, he just lost his password, from what I understand the account itself is okay.

Doesn't matter, a DL is a DL (but not every DL is a malicious DL - and you don't get punished for giving up DLs that are given up before a mod catches them).

Heck, I think even I can't do that, and I'm an Directory Editor...

Exactly, there's no value whatsoever in knowing it...

OK that should end now the DL dance, and that was it with the old account.

There is no real value in it, but it is a piece of information about me, and I am just curious.

You might need to edit the sign-up script to disallow the ' character. Seems to be causing all sorts of problems.

Damn it check the posts that I made with my old account through searching in the members link, I would call them far from malitious.

Well nice to see you trust me around here

Anyway i wouldnt mind my old name back, as a mentioned before

Did you know that you can email Markos if you lost your password?
When they upgrade the forums to the next version your acounts can be merged.

SMIFFGIG · September 11, 2002, 11:37

No i didnt know that thanx, i would like them merged for next time

The reason I left it so long to get a new one was cause I wasnt bothered I had lost my password as I wasnt playing CtP2 much and I had tottaly gone off Civ3 (and still hate the game)

Then I started playing CtP2 again because I randomly visited here and seen all the class modding that was going on so downloaded MM2 which I used to have the first version or whatever and now its just the best Civ game there is like the good old days when Civ2 first came out.

I belive thaat can be done by the use of SQL as well... Even without an upgrade.

SMIFFGIG · September 15, 2002, 11:04

Ok so whats going on, will I ever be able to rate files?

Can I have my name changed?

MarkG · September 15, 2002, 11:22

your forum login and you directory login are now SMIFFGIG
password and e-mail are the same

you'll probably need to logout and re-login from the forum to set the username/password cookie correctly
