I am having a problem accessing the official forums and I am wondering if it is just me?
It was working fine earlier today, but we lost power in our area while I was out at class. When I got home, my system had shut down (when it loses power, it stays off). When I started up and tried to log into the PB forums, it did not "remember me" and I figured it was a simple cookie corruption (perhaps due to the power loss). I tried to manually log in, but I could not remember my password (whatever was autogenerated from the previous time I forgot my password).
I tried the "forgot password" function, but the forum is kicking up an error every time I enter the "captcha". I tried a completely different browser than what I normally use to access the forums (thinking something may have been corrupted in Opera as it appears it did an auto-update while I was gone). The problem is still there with QTWeb. Like most humans, I can't read these darn Captchas, but I am 99.99% positive that what I entered is correct and matches (as you can see from the first screenshot), but it still will not accept it.
Here is a screenshot of the last Captcha I was shown and what I entered (http://i54.tinypic.com/1zznww6.png).
Then here is the error message I was immediately shown (http://i55.tinypic.com/2vd4qdc.png).
Does what I entered look correct or are my bad eyes really playing tricks on me? I have tried this a couple of times but it kicks up the same error for every Capcha and this is the last one I was shown and IMHO is actually one of the easier to read. I do not think I got this one wrong. ???
I have tried it and has worked at the first try.
I think that was the problem for me, in that I could not read the first captcha I was displayed and I would try and decipher it, and miss it :( I would hit the "back" button and although a "new" captcha was being displayed, it was not really wanting the new one being displayed, it was really wanting the first one that was displayed. ???
Tried again now and I could read the first captcha displayed and it has resent the password.
