  • Board registration and password confusing me

    Hello,

    as you may see I've just registered. But as soon as I verified my email address by clicking that link, the problems started.

    When you've done registering, you're automatically logged in, but you also get a verification email with a link. So I opened that link in a new browser tab, and after your site told me everything's fine I wanted to login, but my user name and password were wrong! WTF?

    So I used the other brwoser tab with which I did the registering to change my password, it didn't work, password was wrong. WTF?

    Then I requested a new password typed in my email address and so on. After receiving two new emails I got a temporary password. So I logged in using it and I succeded, but I got a weird message:
    The request to reset your password was made more than 24 hours ago, so it has expired. To resubmit the request, please use this form.
    WTF? It was only a few minutes ago I did that request!

    Now it seems that I'm stuck in a loop, please help.

    EDIT: Now I did a relog and that weird message above didn't come up again, seemed like I was really logged in with that temp password. So I changed the temp password to the password I have inititally chosen. Now everything seems to work...

    Still this was really weird. Is it some kind of tactic to confuse the forum trolls this board has problems with?

      I also noticed that new threads/posts take a while to show up... this isn't a spamming countermeasure is it? Hehe... ^^

        mine show immediately - so there is a good possibility that it *is* spamming countermeasures.

        see if it continues to happen after 10, 20 and even 25 posts...

          I'm pretty sure that this board is some kind of censored -
          I posted at offtopic but still I can't see my own post

              I think that's because moderators have to check your message before they let it be posted.
              I think that they does this to all has posted less than 20 posts, not sure but i think so.

                Ryker's link explains it all.

                  Thx all, I see this is kind of necessary here and I don't really got a problem with the restrictions.

                  Still I think of the poor moderators, who have to check all this...
