Login rejected
I've bought another PC and am having difficulty logging in to the forum with it. At first I thought that I had just forgotten my password but I logged out of the laptop I'm typing this on and logged in again with no problem.
I did wonder if the new machine was not actually translating my typing correctly so I typed my password into Notepad and copied and pasted it into the password login slot but I still get rejected. Any suggestions? Thanks, Peter |

Re: Login rejected
Are your regional and keyboard settings correct?
The forum software will always log you in if you enter the correct username and password. Remember that both are case sensitive, and all characters are significant including spaces. You can request a password reset, or the mods will do it for you if you really get stuck, but that is unlikely to help in this case. |

Re: Login rejected
Thanks Paul. I went into Region and Keyboard and all appeared correct without changing anything but after trying again I am now able to login!
Strange, but I'm happy now. Peter |
