Forum not easy to get started with

Hi.

I needed to post.  I went to make an account, but the username was taken - so I must have made an account before, as my username is not common.

I tried a few passwords, but no good.  I used the "lost password" facility.

I wait.  I wait some more.  The email from this has taken now at least ten minutes and it's not arrived.

In the meantime, I found the password and log in - but I can't, the account is now locked.

Email still hasn't arrived, so I make a new account.

But I can't, because I'm using the Tor browser.

I open a plain-jane browser and finally I can post.

It's been fifteen minutes and many log in attempts and indeed many account creation attempts to finally get logged in.

So there are two problems;

1. "lost password" email is either broken or extremely slow

2. Tor browser is blocked

You should use a proper browser and not TOR.

 

Log into your control panel and resend the email a few times, with a few breaks in between each attempt, until it gets through

If you want to change your password, request a password reset and log out of your control panel before clicking the link
