Failing to log on to IMDB Forum

[skycloud59]

My account has been approved by IMDB Forum owners, but my log on does not work. I have been struggling to use ProBoards and have probably completely messed up my usernames and passwords on this whole site. If I could delete the lot including this one and start again, I would! Can and will ProBoards do that for me? Kind regards, skycloud59.

skycloud59, when you login you should be able to use your username (that you established during the registration process) or your email address (in the username field).

If you have had access to your account (logged in previously), please make sure you use your username and not display name when logging in.

Are you receiving any error messages when attempting to log in?

I am not receiving any error messages when I try to log in, I am simply returned to the IMDB homepage which asks me to log in.

Hi,

Sounds like your browser might be rejecting the cookie. Does anything different happen if you try to login with your email and password on ProBoards.com and then navigate to the forum via the forum dashboard?

[Scott]

skycloud59, have you registered on that forum yet?

[skycloud59]

My username when I applied to IMDB was mathsteach2 which they accepted. I am old and infirm and not savvy with all of this, I may just give up which  will leave me quite unhappy, as I did enjoy the Staffroom Forum until I was banned through a serious misunderstanding, which was my fault.

[Scott]

skycloud59, are you able to provide a link to the forum so we can look at the account? Never mind, I found it.

[Scott]

skycloud59, you should be abled to log in now to that forum with your username and current password.

Thank you for your attention, but still no success. I get this error message now:

"Invalid request token / possible request forgery (error 1). If you received this message in error, please go back, refresh, and try again."

skycloud59, log out of everything ProBoards and then log back in. That should clear the error.
