    Everytime I post it logs me out and when I click on forum and chose a thread it logs me out or sometimes when I try to make a thread.

    Did you access the website through the IP address already like I explained in my original post?

    Yes
    Did you also change your password and used upper case letters in it?

    Yep
    That's strange. Can you send me an email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:souza@michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com">souza@michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com</a><!-- e -->? I will reset your password and send you a new one. That seemed to have helped with others.

    Souza,
    I have been trying to reset my password since you did it for me and then told
    me I needed to change it again. I'm a member of a few of these phpBB boards
    or have been on and off for years.
    I have never had a problem changing my password anytime I wanted to on these type of boards.
    Just a thought...I know you are no doubt still recuperating from the board ordeal.
    But it makes me think somewhere you missed something that enables the password change option.

    No, you are able to change it, just checked to be sure. Can you tell me what the error is you get?

  • The current password you entered is incorrect.
    I get this one....no matter what I use or try.
    I've thought oh well I messed upI will do it again...
    and make sure that I put the same PW in both boxes.
    over 6 characters mixed case etc.
    Still get this message. ....a real head scratcher...lol
    So I decided to leave it alone for a while.

    I just tried one so I could show you the message with letters only.
    I have tried using numbers and letters since it says "characters"
    Are you supposed to use or can you use letters & numbers?

    Still get this message. ....a real head scratcher...lol
    So I decided to leave it alone for a while.

    Your current password is the one I sent you, INCLUDING the CAPS. If you want to change it, you need to type exactly what I sent you and choose a new one, again with at least one upper case letter.

    Try again and let me know.

  • uuuhhhhh

    It worked like a charm Souza.

    I cannot believe what a ding bat I am...LoL
    never read the part Under the change PW where it says
    "you must enter your current password to verify the change"
    I should have know that! Ayree

    Slappin' myself Up. Side. The. Head

    Thanks!

    For some reason the pictures posted in threads and also avitars aren't showing up on some posts. Do I need to do something with my computer or is anyone else having this same problem?

    While writing on the forum, a virus alert came and then the whole thing slowed down <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> No other windows were open.

    That's probably because you have a virus. There are no virusses on here, so you can't have gotten it here. I advise you to scan your laptop/pc.

    Doing it.

    Can an attachment posted in the forum cointain a virus?
  • Gema...
    all I know is I have no problems here...and I'm running a AV and firewall designed for networks it's pretty strong.
    I do not know what you are running but AV's can give off false positive's.

    Oh and just to put this out there...
    to those who may not be aware....on some sites

    if you click on to it and a box appears that tells you "you have 125 [pick a number] viruses and should download "this right now" ..usually it will try to instantly start
    downloading whether you give permission or not... it you do it will do it anyway.

    THAT is a virus and you should cold kill your computer IMMEDIATELY.
    Do not try to sign off in the normal manner.
    Just hit the kill switch- Cold kill your computer with the OFF button.

    That is the only way to have a prayer of stopping it.
    What they are trying to DL is a trojan and it is serious.

    Just thought I would pass that along.
  • Can an attachment posted in the forum cointain a virus?

    I guess it is possible...but I have never run into that on this forum.
    Usually your AV will warn you if there is something like that happening.

    No, they are just images.

    I was going to ask a question about a difficulty I'm having to access the forum. I'm a complete pc nerd, I know nothing about it. It started out yesterday and today it is still the same. I can not access the forum everytime I want to. I saw Souza's post yesterday about changing the server and she gave the IP number of the forum and I tried it but it didn't work again. I was wondering if it is only me having problems with it or are there others like me? I can not access to TMZ too when I can't access to this forum. I also would like to add that I'm using a proxy server because we can not get into Youtube as it was restrticted in my country and we need to use proxy to get into youtube. A friend of mine made this proxy thing as I have no clue how it is made or cancelled. I was wondering if the problem can be about my proxy server? Thank you in advance.

    I am on a mobile connection that uses proxies too and sometimes I can't access the website either for a few hours. I use <!-- w -->www.hidemyass.com<!-- w --> when that happens. I am waiting for the host to contact me about it. It seems that a lot of proxies were banned from the server for security reasons. I will see if it can be fixed and until then, use hidemyass.com. Works fine even though not every link will work as it should.

    Thanks for the info. I pased the full scan and 2 sticky viruses where there and impossible to repair. Needed to remove them and get another antivirus.
    I am not so computer literate and have no idea how to protect this pc.

    Souza souza souza..

    I dunno i just wanted attention.

  • I still have the same problem after the new password. I changed it after you gave me the new one but it still does the same thing.

    Edit: It's only happening on my phone.

    Thank you so so much for the info and the help Souza. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> hidemyass? what a nice name choice for a webpage <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> Hope it can be fixed. Thank you once again.

    I started to have problems today as well. Cannot access any page on the site, it just says "can't find the server". I can only get via proxy now, but cannot get via standard connection.

    Souza,
    I have also sent you PM with the problem.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one getting that message. Not that I want anyone to have problems accessing the site, but I was only getting that message on my computer at work, which is firewalled to the max. It's only been in the last couple of days I haven't had any access at all and I was worried that the techie guys removed the site from my computer or something because I would be on it all day instead of working... <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> I have a lot of free time with my day job...

    Oh, it works fine for me already. I hope your problem is gone also <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
  • Gema
    You are so welcome...I hope it fixed your problems.

    LOL@purelove...
    I LOVE hidemyass...I use it BECAUSE of the name. <!-- s:mrgreen: -->:mrgreen:<!-- s:mrgreen: -->

    Just a guess but the cannot find server thing could have been on the
    server's end sometimes they reset themselves or slow down etc.
    I hope everyone is up an running okay now....as usual I'm late to the
    party...hahahaha
    I'm thinking it is because I live in the states ...or something.
  • Finally i can post after a long time :) Hello everyone :)
