This thread is here to replace the "posting problems" thread. Somehow it totally disappeared - I swear I didn't accidentally delete it a few minutes ago.
A lot of people are having problems with logging in and not being able to post. This issue has been posed on the vB site, and I've written their support alias. Here are a couple vB.com threads on the topic:

hmm, that's weird. Wonder where it went. Maybe one of the useless mods did it ;)
I am still waiting.....

I just posted on their boards. Finally got in touch with Byron so I could get posting privs over there.
TWISTED :crazy: !
Did anyone see my solution before the posting problems thread disappeared?!
Basically, remove all cookies in the browser, close the browser, remove the cookies that may still be in C:\windows\cookies\ (manually), open the browser, go to flashkit.com/board, click on user cp, login (if the login loops you back as it used to, sorry, you can stop reading), go to edit options, and set the automatically log-in when you return to site option to yes (the browse board with cookies did not have any impact of me; if the automatic option is not turned on, i get the looping thing). If this works, enjoy.
Tell me if it works.

Yea, I tried when you first posted, and it didn't work. Remember?
TWISTED! :crazy:
Thanks for reposting that mmarkin. I copied it into the vbulletin.com thread.
No prob....since Im using my computer at home, Im not worried about other people using my login...family members...not gonna do anything. If youre working on a public computer though, you'll probably have to play around with it...I won't bother....but clearing ALL cookies (with the cookies dir in windows) certainly clears the options and gives you a fresh start....for those of you who tried my solution and failed, play around with....thats what I did yesterday, and got the solution that worked for me (with IE6, NN7 AND Opera 6).
Good luck.....
Mikhail Markin
Forgot to mention one thing:
After my adventures with IE, I finally got in, and after I changed the Auto-login option to yes, it worked in all my browsers...just find a browser that would let you into usercp....thats all you need.
Mikhail
Maybe I'll try netscape...
grr... stupid netscape....
And stupid IE, for making me use stupid Netscape....
grr, stupid internet....
TWISTED :crazy:
I'll be right back with an answer, hopefully with my old name....
What tha???!!!
Just curious, VirgoMinime, but how the * do you post if you can't get in???????!!!!!!! Before I solved the problem for myself, I couldnt even post (got the loop thing)!!!!!!!
Mikhail
Well, this isn't my normal name.
I created it till I figure out my problem....
Gonna go test Netscape, so hold on...
Hmm, that's weird, it didn't work in Netscape 4 either....
Hey, Starkems, (I like that, from now on, your nickname is Starkems...) Do you mind making this thread sticky?
Virgo,
Try Opera. I have it for web site testing purposes and I think it partially before I solved the problem....it has a feature called 'remove new cookies on exit' or something similar in the options...it gets rid of cookies when you close the browser...
Try it.
Mikhail
P.S. If you're desperate, and can trust me, give me the u/p info for your other membership. Ill fix it and you'll change the password.
Hmm, I don't know, you seem pretty trust worthy....
I will change my pw afterwords anyway....
E-mail me.
ryan@:nospam:interfall.com
take out the ":nospam:" part...
nothing should stop it now, virgo!!!!!!!! check your email
WHOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY, AFTER THREE DAYS, MY NAME IS BACK IN BUSINESS!
And we will celibrate it with the cow.
:cow:
See, he doesn't look so sad anymore...
He likes me here :D
Thanks everyone for your support, and tech help!

How do I delete the other account now?
To me, it sounds like it could very probably be a bug in VBulletin 2.2.8, as when I used to use Flashkit's boards before the upgrade, I never had these kind of problems, and I'm using the same computers and settings that I was before (except for the auto-login cookie, which I had to turn on to get in today).
Today, because I had so many problems logging in with my old username, I registered a new handle. It's taken me over an hour to get in to this point, but thanks to an e-mail from jstarkey, :) I finally found the info in this thread and used the auto-login cookie setting to get in.
However I really don't feel secure using this site with the auto-login cookie enabled, because a lot of the time I'm using a public comp to come here. If anyone knows or finds a way around using that, please post it up here if you can.
Also, I'd encourage the webmaster to report it as a VBulletin bug. I've registered and used dozens of other forum sites in the last five years or more, and have never had to use an auto-login cookie to get access before today.
Just for reference, here's the label for the setting I'm talking about.
Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies)
I agree and would like to know how to use the forums without the autologin feature.
Mikhail
can you fix my account too?

An extension of this thread. Didn't want to merge them.
Hello,
Is there any way for me to undo or delete my other account (Manojo_New)?
Or do I just have to click :"unsubscribe from all threads" to stop receiving mail on that account?
Mr mmarkin,
please help - I too suffer from the inability to log into FK - experiencing extreme withdrawls at the moment, how do I solve this?
I'm assuming you need my email address:
[email protected]
your help would be much appreciated
thanks in advance.
S.
mmarkin - thank you very much for giving me my FK back! have desperately needed my forum fix this past week and I've finally got it! LOL
My pleasure.
Mikhail Markin

Any time...Quote:

I've used linux text-only browser "links". It allowed me to get to the usercp and turn on the autologin feature... Then logged in via IE. Previous solutions(deleting cookies, using other browser NS6+) didn't help... bleeeee... btw. VBulletin is commercial? - MAKE THEM FIX IT!
regards,
StarLight
I totally agree!Quote:

I've checked the VBulletin boards too and apparently some other forums have the exact same problem. Yet at VBulletin there's hardly any reaction. No one their wants to admit it is their problem let alone take some action and do something about it. I don't really mind that my autologin is set to yes. I use flashkit at home or work and I have my own pc in both places, but why have the option if you can't use it?
I've also checked out their forums, following a link given by JStarkey, and there are more than a few complaints. Does the License Agreement include support for the product?
It is clear that this IS NOT a "corrupted cookies" or "too high privacy" problem. That damn bug is a cross-browser, cross-platform screaming annoyance. It's obvious that did make a mistake, but why aren't they willing to fix it? Maybe they are unable to reproduce the problem... Anyway they should at least try to solve it, as it affects more and more websites running vbulletin. PERIOD.
I rec'd an email from John Percival, vB Project Manager. They're looking into it and they have this thread as reference.Quote:

regarding myfk save feature? ;) It could help some people in situations like this one ;) (I mean when they can't log in :D)

well, I tried all the stuff suggested.. I just can't even log in to change anything, or post etc.. I had to open up this account to ask for help even. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

As explained before, send your login and pasword to mmarkin, and he'll fix it for you. When you login afterwards, you simply change your password.
Now that I come to think of it, anyone who's able to login with his regular username and password (like me now) can fix another one's account, no? I'm a bit confused, but that's probably because it's early morning for me...
