Can't login to Bay Six forum
Post by Richard Russell on Mar 26th, 2016, 3:26pm

The Bay Six forum is rejecting my login and giving me a "403 Forbidden" response, and so is the 'Forgotten password' link. Is this just me (maybe yet another LB forum from which I've been banned) or is everybody getting the same?

Brent (or his forum software) deletes members that haven't been active after so many months/years. I have had it happen to me and just signed up with a different name.

Hmm, just clicked your link and was able to get in without logging in??

Are you trying to get to a certain part or is it doing this with the whole forum? I thought at one time the section that dealt with the registry was only open to members.

I know - but I thought I'd logged in sufficiently regularly to prevent that (my old posts are still visible, with my user name showing). I wanted to post the multi-touch demo to the WMLiberty board (previously Brent has been happy to have LBB code posted there).

The Register link seems permanently to be giving me a "Browse the site some more, then try to register again" message. What do you get?

I get the above message if I click the 'register' link. Strange!
