When I sign in it says "invalid user name". I then go to the home page and click on forums and it seems I am actually signed in. Whereas before, when I signed in I went straight to the forum. It is becoming slightly tedious, is there anything that can be done or is it me?

Hi, sorry to hear about that. I made some changes to the site that means your cookies might be causing the problem. This site shows how you can delete your cookies in internet explorer:

Hi Steve, I'm having the same problem (I've already tried deleting cookies in internet explorer but it hasn't worked). I also keep getting the message that windows keeps having to change to compatibility view when I'm on F2F too ??

[admin]

Hi, I'm aware of both problems but need to get a few hours to fix them. Should all be done before the end of this weekend.

[admin]

Hi, hopefully the cookie problem and the compatibility view issue are now resolved.

Could you let me know if you still have any problems?

[KChally]

Sorry Steve, still having the same problem

Could you try signing out, then sign back in and make sure the 'remember me' tickbox is ticked?

I'm having the same problem - says "invalid password" each time, though when I go onto the forum it tells me I am signed in.

Am looking at it. Please respond if it starts working for you so I know when it's fixed.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm Matthias, Steve engaged me to solve your login issues. I'll now look at your accounts. In most cases, it'll help to sync passwords of both accounts. I'll now create new passwords of each account who reported a login issue here, you'll receive the new passwords via email. This password should work with same username on Wordpress and IP.board for logging in.

It would be great to get a feedback in this topic here after you've received the email with new password.

If there is a case you'll not be able to login anywhere, please contact me directly on [email protected]

Kind regards,
Matthias

You've all received emails with your new passwords now. The login should work now without any problems. Please don't forget to change your passwords after your successful login.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Sorry same result with new password, dont know how to change my password even if it did work,, would need the help of a kid.

Hi Burl,

please make sure you've copied your new password without any trailing space. I've just checked login through your account with the new password and it works without any problems on my side

Password is (when logged in) changeable here: http://www.fieldtofarm.com/wp-admin/

Kind regards,

May I suggest clearing cookies followed by refreshing cache memory and also clearing history as all theses things can give the results you are getting.

History is my bet as when you try to login the cache will use history heading to find page

[KChally]

Sorry, used new password to log in and it behaved the same as the original - said error, wobbled a bit, so clicked on "back to field to farm" then clicked on forum and here I am, logged in.

Will keep trying different things, like clearing cookies etc (have also done this before).

I can also sign in using my original password, but I still have the same problems.

KChally

[KChally]

I have just done an experiment and managed to sign in using any word for my password. How can this be? It still said there was an error and I had to click on "back to field to farm" etc as before, but it still showed me as signed in as KChally.

It would appear therefore that a secret password is not required!! HELP

Hi,

I assume that you are using webaddress http://fieldtofarm.com/ without www. - this could generate problems when logging in. I've now created a redirect from http://fieldtofarm.com/ to http://www.fieldtofarm.com/ so there is only 1 domain to reach the website - this should avoid this problem for future.

Login should now work when going on http://www.fieldtofarm.com/

The following steps will avoid problems with first successful login:

• delete cookies for fieldtofarm.com and www.fieldtofarm.com
• delete cache and history
• delete saved passwords for fieldtofarm.com and www.fieldtofarm.com in your browser's passwords safe
• check that you are not logged in anymore on http://www.fieldtofarm.com/wp-admin/ and http://www.fieldtofarm.com/forum/

Now try logging in - you should not have problems anymore.

Kind regards,
Matthias

PS @ KChally: there is no security hole, I assume that you've not been logged out from forum properly because you've still some cookies saved in your browser from either www.fieldtofarm.com or fieldtofarm.com
