Problem with Registering
Hi, How do I move the registration process forward? I am able to log in for the forums but not for the archive. I have never received an email confirmation of registration. Many thanks for any help that can be offered.
Re: Problem with Registering
There are several threads about the issue of being able to log into VBulletin here, and NOT into the Fiction Archive, although the two use the exact same database.
We have answered this question each time - WE DON'T KNOW why this happens.
Some members can log in fine. Others cannot.
For some, using another browser works. For some, cleaning all the junk from your computer with an app like CCleaner solves it. (cleans history, cookies, sessions, all that - freeware.) For some, using another device will get them in.
For some, this does not work.
Again, if you use a VPN, switch servers. If you don't use a VPN, try one. Opera browser has a free one built in.
Again, we don't know why this happens.

Re: Problem with Registering
It sounds like a mystery.
While suggesting things that might work, how about trying the "incognito" or "inprivate" (or whatever) mode of your browser? It wipes out its cookies and cache and stuff, so it's always starting clean when you use it. I've found it to be helpful for a number of things, like logging in to GMail with a second account but completely separate, things like that. Anyway, it might be worth a try. Or if you use 'incognito' all the time, try it in the normal mode.
Can't hurt, and might help.
Another experiment: change your password to something simple, say only 8 lowercase letters, no numbers or other characters, and see if that lets you log in to both sites. If it doesn't you can always change back to a grownup password, but if it does, you can experiment with longer and more complex passwords.
