Login and Registration Issues

» Why can’t I login?
There are several reasons why this could occur. First, Has your account been activated? (All accounts are approved by T.A.S.S™) have you recieved emails to confirm? Did you fail to post on the forum within the specified time emailed to you by T.A.S.S™? ensure your username and password are correct.

» Why do I need to register at all?
Registration will give you access to additional features not available to guests. It only takes a few moments to register so it is recommended you do so.

Top

» Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you login, the forum will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc.

Top

» How do I prevent my username appearing in the online user listings?
Within your User Control Panel, under “Board preferences”, you will find the option Hide your online status. Enable this option with Yes and you will only appear to the administrators, moderators and yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user.

Don’t panic! While your password cannot be retrieved, it can easily be reset. Visit the login page and click I’ve forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be able to log in again shortly.

» I registered but cannot login!
First, check your username and password. If they are correct, then read Why can’t I login above.

If you did not receive an e-mail, you may have provided an incorrect e-mail address or the e-mail may have been picked up by a spam filer. If you are sure the e-mail address you provided is correct, then contact us.
