Failed Login & Failed Confirmation Codes
G'day admins.
It's SYZ here. A couple of days ago, my usual, long-term password stopped
working—I have no idea why?
I've attempted to reset my password twice, but on both occasions I got an
error message on the response email saying they were invalid.
I also tried to reset one of my other prior username passwords, ausGeoff, but
that also failed.
I decided the only way I could gain entry to the forum was to re-register with
a new account username and password..... so here I am!
Could someone kindly reinstate my "SYZ" account, and delete this temporary
"SYZ#2" account and its password?
I'm sorry if this causes any grief, but I'll look forward to being resurrected(!)
as SYZ.
Thanks folks.
—Geoff.

This happened after an update for your browser, right? I have the same problem and have learned to simply wait until the passwords work again, usually less than two hours.
Disregard if not relevant.

That's why the only time I logout is when my browser cache is being cleared.

I already let the more internet-Savy mods know about the problem.

I rarely clear my cache, but the missing passwords and impossible to get a new password phenom still happens. My passwords were there, they still worked, but not for a few hours after the update.

HURRY!
Syz needs his AD fix.
And forgive my humor if it's misunderstood. I'd be just as worried if I couldn't get back into the forum.

I'm tied up for about 1.5 hours, but I'll reset it then. The previous account you made works fine and I tried interacting with you on the Contact the Staff area. You didn't reply. :/
No problem! When I have a minute, I'll reset SYZ.

So it has now been quite a while since I've run into the "Can't Connect" issue. Sometimes a post seems to take a few extra seconds to go through but even that is noticeably decreased. I don't know what you did but it seems to have made a significant improvement in board functionality.
Nice work, ladies. TY.

Since when did you notice the decrease in the extra seconds it takes to post something? I changed something yesterday that I thought would directly impact that... that was about 18 hours ago? Give or take.
Something I did previously may have indirectly impacted the posting delay, though.

I'd say that I noticed it this morning when I posted a link in the Who's Dead thread. The link was to a NY Times story and it did seem to take a few extra seconds to go through. the thought " hadn't seen that in a while" crossed my mind.
The far bigger issue was the constant "can't connect to this site" error which could sometimes require 10-12 refreshes to go through. That was annoying and I haven't seen that in a week or so. At my age, time is a very fluid concept.

Mine don't. Still takes about 20 to 45 seconds to process. The timeouts are gone, that much I can confirm.

I don't get that. Even when it is slow it is more like 10 seconds.
Maybe we should time them for Dom and Aliza and report back?

Yes; that was my major issue too, but I haven't had it happen for a few weeks now... testicles crossed!

I received an error 503, service unavailable, today.

I still get 5-8 seconds whirlygig delay on a fairly regular basis, but I've never had to reload, so no complaints.
On hiatus.

I think the delay would not be so annoying if the "post reply" button grayed out after it's clicked. Then you get some obvious visual feedback that the post is processing.

G'day again admins.
It's SYZ here. Yesterday, my usual, long-term password
stopped working again—my Firefox browser crashed and
its record of all my passwords was lost. I've attempted to
reset my password a couple of times, but on both occasions
I got an error message saying I'd entered an incorrect
password—despite entering a newly generated pass code
[ NgDdis9p ] being sent to my email address [oxxtxxx6@GMX.com.]
Could someone please reinstate my "SYZ" account? I'm
sorry again if this causes any grief, but I'll look forward to
being resurrected as SYZ.
Thanks folks.
—Geoff.
