also - do not see a logout link anwhere. And, if my user name is suppsed to displyy next to the "welcome to geeklog" message - it's not there.

The message options, after posting (subccribe, etc.) are not clickable.

I'm using Firefox 1.7.12.

Any moderator here who can help with this?

TIA

When I clcik on My Subcriptions, I get an error message saying "you must be logged in" - but I'm posting here and can see my post - so obviously I'm logged in.

As I said, this is truly weird. Is there a bug in this forum software?

Yep - somehow this board sfotware is corrupted. When I clicked on "Firum Prefences" it retuned a web page saying

"Gone

The requested resource

/forum/userprefs.php

is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource."

this needs some attention.

I am asked to log in as an Author in the forums but I cannot post in the Geeklog itself. My registration there does not work anymore - but it did a few days ago when I signed up.

My login attempt there is rejected. So I used the "forgot (sic) your password" feature. The entry accepted my user name (same as I use here) and the return said it was sending an email containing my password to the email address used when I registered. No message has arrived. That was a loooong time ago.

Is there a Moderator here who can help with this problem?

Problem solved (sort of)

I took another approach. First I tried to register a new account as "jerseyjoe" and got the expected rejection because there is already one by that name. That's the one who does not recieve emails that the system promises.

So I registered a new account with a similar name and an alternative email address.

I also got a confirming email with a password, something that jerseyjoe never got. And I got an automatic welcoming message.

My log in using this new account was recognized.

That still leaves the unresolved issue of what's happening with the original registration - but that's not my problem any more.

eanwhile, I have unacknowleged questions in another posting where I'm trying to figure out why Google Ads are not consistently displaying in blocks on otherwise identical pages.
