either you are dumb and forgot your password or you have been hacked. Since no one would want your account I would go with the first one.

Oh for christ sake, I'm not an idiot. I log in almost every day.I didn't forget my password. And the only reason I'm yelling is because I'm going to be really mad if someone hacked my account. I've had this account for quite some time and I have done nothing to be banned, so instead of calling me an idiot, tell me how this hacker thing works, seeing as it's probably the problem.

Enter your username, click "send me my info", and your psw will be sent to you via email.

That is, if all goes well.

This hacker thing is where a person finds out what your password is and then changes it so only he will know and you wont know. Its common sense, anyone knows that. Except for you.

I think our dear friend wants to know how exactly the hacker would find out his psw.

However, his email can be changed by the guy that hacked into his account. So he might not get it. In that case I would email Wade or Tom about it.

Damned if I know. I think that there are some types of programs that do it or the guy has a lot of time on his hands. Either that or he gave someone his password, which would be just palian dumb.
Suicide_Reject's password is password. Shhhhhh keep it a secret.

Yes I think that is the problem, because I just did the forgot password thing and it said it sent the email, but I still haven't received it. As for contacting Tom or Wade, Do I just leave a post to them or what?

There are people that know my psw, it's always handy if you can't deposit or something. But you'd have to be sure the person doesn't screw you over.

Suicide_Reject's password is password. Shhhhhh keep it a
secret.

Hint.. Hit your CAPS key when you enter your password. You must have had it on when resetting your password.

I love it how every time something like this happens, people scream hackers, when it's usually just down to user error.

By "psw", I'm assuming you're referring to "password". Lazy person. And there is a change your password option, but you have to be logged in to change your password and since this guy couldn't log in.... Well. Speaks for itself.

You know how it is ...
Hackers, myth of the internet, legends among us. Every time there's a problem people tend to, as you just said, scream hackers ! I don't understand a script kiddie's way of thinking ! (the word hacker isn't really apropriate).
Fun.

There is? I'm talking about me. Is it that option in the personal profile thing, because i tried that, because i taught it was a psw change option, but it wasn't. it was just a psw required field, where i had to enter my psw to change my personal profile. So where is this change your password thing?

You're in the right place. But instead of typing in your old password twice, you just put a new password in twice.

Okay, were getting a little off topic. I mean I'm not trying to be selfish, but I really need help. Excluding the facts that it could be, caps lock, forgot password, or a hacker, what else could it be. (Since you guys are considering hackers to be a last resort for some reason.)

I have already told you what the problem is. It's the same password as you're using for this account, but with CAPS. Christ.

Okay. I didn't think I needed to spell this out but ITS NOT CAPS LOCK. Caps lock isn't the problem, I'm sure of this. So once again, excluding those possibilities, what else could it be?

Haha. It's bad to challenge someone that has the ability to look at your password and tell you exactly what the problem is.


The point is... Don't lose your dinosaur.
