53 Members with Login Issues

[TotallyOz]

There should be 53 members that have a log in issues. The cause for this is there is an email on the main site and the forums which are different. We are resolving this issue.  However, if you are having issues, email me at gaythailand@gmail.com and I'll help a bit faster.  I know this sounds like an easy problem, but it is a bit time consuming to get the issue resolved. Thank you for your patience.

I am unable to logon to gay guides anymore.  I sometimes can use a very roundabout way to logon which I am using now, but not practical.

Please help me!  kokopelli

While you are at it, please consider adding a "remember me" button or some such thing so some people don't have to log in every time one visits the site.  Almost all websites have that feature and I have to believe it's fairly standard to add it with whatever software this site is using.

If you sign in from comment-on-a-post there is a "remember me" option.  There may be other ways also, but that has worked without fail for me.

DM....yep, was aware of that trick (thanks for the reminder) and am posting this comment to get it done.  I had cleaned history and cookies some time ago, hadn't made a new post, so lost the ability to be signed in upon visiting the site.  Still, no reason not to have the same feature when coming to this site and I don't understand the reluctance of the boss to use it as no doubt the software supports it.  Oh well, no big deal, only occasionally a minor annoyance.

Some how I was able to logon by doing something that someone suggested!  But not quite sure how. So I will try again to do the same thing, which   I forget!

Go to any post, in the bottom you will see what Divine Madman  shows above, sign there, tick ' remember me " and you are in.

Unfortunately the "remember me" does not work for me. It seems I can only log in when, oddly enough, on this particular topic at which time I logon to the gayguides main site and not the forum site.  So I then go to the menu and click on "forums".  At least it works!

[kokopelli]

At least now I am able to logon to the forum by going to the logon feature at the "comment on post".  But there is "no remember me" to  click on.  

Wish that could be corrected but at least I can get on the forums.

Finally my login issue has been resolved (almost). As mentioned . I was able to login using the method prescribed above.  Then, a week or two ago, I was not able to login at all! And now, I can login simply by using the standard log in feature.  But there is no "remember me" button.  

So thanks to whoever has resolved the issue.

I also had a login problem a couple of weeks ago, both here and at Boy Toy.    After about 10 days without being able to login, I managed to make contact with Michael and he fixed it.     I did try various browsers, password resets and even a different OS.

The current login here works OK on Windows, with a few steps that are OK on a fast connection.    On Android, the login doesn't fit the screen properly, with the relevant part off the screen and having to go through a few screens is OK at home, but anyone on a slow internet connection in somewhere like Myanmar might struggle.   Thankfully I only use Android for board access whilst on holiday (since no one makes a fast 1 kg 10" laptop).  

For comparison, I am unable to log on to Thailand-247.com, which seems to be using the same type of board software.  I hardly ever log on there, but it's useful when I need to cast the net a bit wider to find answers to more specialized Thai questions.

The login button at the top of the forum page works fine.

The one at the bottom brings up this, with Firefox or Chrome:

yes, I noticed the same

After having a successful login as reported above, I was stymied once again by the latest improvements!

Meaning I could not log in and was unable to reset my password since I have no idea just what email I originally used when setting up my login name and password.

So, I reinvented myself as kokopelli 2.  And now am awaiting an approval by the moderator .

And, when I did use the new kokopelli 2, I had to confirm an email  which was sent to me by Gayguides. That email ended up in my "virus blocker" box with a dire warning not to open. But I did open and followed the instructions and here I am. Or at least I think I am.

Since I have no idea just what email I originally used, I am unable to view the email you sent.

Possibly send me a PM??
