When logging in, it asked me to create a nickname

Bizarre. I just tried logging in, 3 times, and after putting in my email address and password, it brought me to a screen telling me that, to participate in the forums, I needed to create a nickname. Huh???????? I've been on these boards for 10 years.

I cancelled all that. On my 4th attempt, it let me in the normal way.

Anyone else run into this today?


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I haven't had that one yet. I had when I go to enter my password the password box is missing.

I had the same thing today, too. I had recently changed my password, not sure if that had anything to do with it.

It happened to me this morning and I changed my name even though I didn't want to. I wish I would have known to ignore it and kept trying. Now I can't change it back and don't remember my password.

Re: When logging in, it asked me to create a nickname

It happened to me this afternoon and I refused to create a new nickname. I left the site altogether then came back after 10 minutes and all was well.

I thought I was being punished for responding to a thread about good sales at coles

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Re: When logging in, it asked me to create a nickname

I noticed this morning that my posts of yesterday had my password in place of my nic! I had to call customer service because when I tried to change my password, it didn't work. I had to also reset my nic which can be done from "my account," just put your regular nick in the box.
