Wiki / PETs Logins

**peter** · 03-02-2006, 12:43 AM

I've been getting reports that forum login credentials are not working for the PETs wiki.

I have created a test forum account and the login seems to work correctly.

I know it sounds trivial, but I just want to make sure that those with problems are using a correct username/password combination. Please try logging out of the forums and try logging in a gain to verify the password, and then try the password on the wiki.

I was able to log in to the WIKI once. That is the PC I use to update PETs, and can still do that, probably due to cookies. On other PCs I cannot log in. I did what you said and can't make it work. I changed the forum password and tried unsuccessfully on a different PC. I tried multiple times to use the lost password feature on the WIKI create account or log in page even with copy and paste of the new passwords that were sent.

Please try again. I reinstalled the plugin.

I also cleared the openfree cookies and it seems to work OK.

Still cant.

I logged out of OFO, cleared all cookies, cache, passwd from browser,closed browser and opened (firefox) logged into forum. Could not log into PETs with forum passwd.

Wonder if its an imported account only prob?

Please try again. I deleted you account in the Wiki. A fresh login should copy your credentials over from the forums.

Try to log out and in from different computers. It has worked repeatedly for the test user.

It seems to not copy. On two different PCs I get

Code:

There is no user by the name "Outlaw". Check your spelling, or use the form below to create a new user account.

Dont' think so since I can log in okay.

I spoke too soon ....

I just tried logging out and logging back in. NO GO ...

I also asked WiKi to send my passwd but never got it. Send mail function broken?

Anyone fluent in php? I've taken a look at the wiki's vbulletin authentication module (only about 100 lines) and can't see anything odd.

Would anyone be willing to take a look? As vbulletin is copyrighted I can't post the hack, but I can send the code by email to anyone willing to take the challenge.
