Anyone know why the Home page insists on calling me "Guest" even though I'm, as far as I know, registered. ( I've got a sig. anyway)
is it something to do with gamespy ?
-
EDIT - try clicking on 'register' ;)
-
EDIT- try reading the question.:wtf:
-
Could it have happened when you requested your profile updated?
-
if you mean HLP itself, not the forums, you might need to reg there again, because the forum DB is something else. not sure though
-
The main HLP site has a seperate member database to the BB, IIRC, so yes, you do need to register again.....
-
I tried it (twice). Filled in the form and followed the instructions. When I then try to log-in it says
"That username/password does not exist on the HLP forums"
so i think they're the same. (the site and the BB)
Where's an Admin. when you need one eh ?
-
murphy's laws of HLP:
need an admin in a hurry? discuss pr0n, or dildo shaped ships.

*Reads Kasperl's post*.
*Sees Windrunner in the forum*
LOL
EDIT: No real hurry.
-
It is not only you. Even I am not detected on the main page. Why do you need it? Just login with your username(The magatsu1, of course), and it is certain to work. :)
-
well i suppose I don't "need" it as such. I was just curious.
-
In your email there is a activation emaail they end you and i don't use the passwork they gave me i use the one i put in.
well this how i figure it out.:)

Unless you want to add a comment/content, or vote/rate.
-
But I can vote. I also get e-mail notifications (registered members only) and I have a sig (ditto. see options at the bottom of the reply box when you post)
I think that password is only temp. anyway jd.
-
JD?
-
heh, I meant jdjtcagle.
My bad.
-
speaking of voting... anybody have any idea why I can't vote on polls?

Try your MkII profile. Just a pity suggestion, I don't know why it should be a solution, but nobody may know it. It is computer science, everything minor can occur much trouble.
-
That one doesn't work either.

The databases are not the same, but they are linked, which is why staff added to the site hosted listings can have avatars appear in the forum. :)
That said, the login system doesn't work quite perfectly - then again, I still don't understand your problem perfectly either. :o To go from the beginning... can you get pass the user registration (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/hlp/user_register.php) properly?
-
nope.
username and password not recognised
"This username/password doesn't exist on the HLP forums"
I filled in the registration form, linked to that screen, a couple of times and still no joy.
Do I need to register with gamespy or somethin' ?

I know this one!!! AOL based browsers prevent voting... Try internet explorer...

Okay - and (just to be sure I'm not missing something here) you're putting in the username and pass exactly the same as your forum login?
-
Yup.
*goes off to try it again*
*picks himself up off the floor when it actually works*
Uh, problem solved. I think.
