Using the "forgot your password" form on MARP

Post by Baby Bonnie Hood »

I can't find any technical subforum, so here will have to do.

I've apparently forgotten my password on MARP, maybe because I'm an idiot. I've tried to use that "forgot your password" form, and I haven't received any e-mail about it yet. This is in contrast to immediately getting an e-mail from this forum after asking to have my password here renewed due to forum upgrades and whatnot.

How long does it normally take?

I just can't remember my old password. And worse, I think the "forgot your password" form isn't working anymore.

Please someone help me out with this. I have a hi-score or two to upload, and I don't wanna abandon this place over a technicality :(

My guess is e-mails sent by the MARP scripts aren't working, probably due to the server move some weeks ago. Upload notices also aren't working currently, so it's probably related to that.

Will the e-mails eventually be fixed? Or is there another way to retrieve my password? One of the two.

I was locked out of this forum for two years until last month when it finally for some reason allowed me sign in.

I received no help for the problem after e-mailing several times.


I assume that my username and password can stop working at anytime.

This is is a poorly run site.

Last I heard, you mentioned something about an error reporting that you had attempted to login too often. Usually that's a security measure, and you would be able to log in probably not too long after that (24 hours at the very most). I haven't heard anything from you since.

I think the time limit after 3 incorrect logins is 15 minutes.

If you're the one I e-mailed when Seymour wouldn't get back to me, when I told you I get the message: "no such account as 'd_harris'", you said that you had thought that usernames were not case sensitive and that I definitely had an account, and you said that you would get a hold of seymour to see if he can look deeper into the issue.

You didn't get back to me after that.

Three weeks later when I wrote telling you that I got the message "You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts." even though I only made a single attempt you still didn't get back to me.

Nevertheless, it now appears that it is working.(At least for now).

Ah yes, I think I mentioned to seymour via IRC, but he never responded. Guess I forgot after that, I suppose. Sorry about that.
