    Problems logging in/can't stay logged in

    I've been having all kinds of problems logging into the site.
    Even when I change my password, it will accept it only once -- even though it "thanks me" for logging in, but it goes back to the log in page -- and than I have to change it again.
    Also, on the rare occasion I have been able to log in, there have been times I have typed a post that when I go to submit it that I get kicked back to the log in page. At that point, my post is gone and my login and password is refused.

    You're not the first, and we'll be damned if any of us can figure out why...

    So, let's do some troubleshooting. Exactly what browser are you using? Are you using any plugins? Most importantly, what exactly are your Cookie settings in the browser that you're using?

    I'm on internet explorer.
    Unsure of plugins.
    Pretty sure I'm wide open for cookies

    IE 6 or 7?
    Double check in the Internet Options dialog that your accepting all cookies.
    • Control Panel -> Internet Options
    • Click the Privacy tab
    • Ensure that the setting is Medium or lower.

    While you're having this current problem, Rink, with the possibility that your posts will be lost, I'd suggest typing them out first in your WP, saving them, then copying and pasting them to the BM forums.

    Re: Problems logging in/can't stay logged in

    I've had the same problems, but I've found a work-around that works for me. Whenever I try to log in at baseballmogul(dot)com, the site thanks me for logging in, but I'm never actually logged in. Whenever I go to sportsmogul(dot)com, I have no troubles logging in. Not sure if this will work for you, but it may be worth a shot.

    I've had the type post and get booted "glitch"... I had to slide the little pop up that told me I was unable to post out of the way and copy/pate what I had just posted.
