If your account is, or was, locked out, please follow these steps, before trying to log in again.
1) Do NOT attempt to change your Password. - This will not help you, the problem has nothing to do with your forum password, despite previous beliefs it did. If you get locked out of your account, do NOT try to change your password, it will only make things more confusing.
2) Clear Your Cookies - There is a link at the very bottom of the forum now that says "Clear Cookies". Click on that.
3) Do a Hard Refresh to Clear Your Cache - Usually holding down the "Ctrl" button, and then pressing "F5" at the same time should work to clear your cache.
If the above does not work (which it should for just about everyone):
4) You MAY create an Alternate Account to let us know of the problem. - Please keep in mind this is the ONLY time Alts are allowed on the forum. Post in this thread that your main account is locked out, and if you get back into your main account, please provide a list to the Administrators of all the Alternate Accounts you created, so we can delete them for you, and you not get banned for having an Alt.
5) When posting in this thread to tell us your main account is locked out, please provide a link to your member profile. - If you want us to help you, then you need to help us help you. I don't want to have to hunt down 20 different profiles to find you. Do the leg work yourself (the Search button is your friend), and copy and paste the link to your profile in the post telling us your account is locked out.
6) If you post in this thread, and Slyfox696 is online, do NOT log out of the account you are in. - Nothing pisses me off more than having someone want help, and then leaving before I can give it to you. Sometimes I need to have a conversation with you through PM to get you going again, and if I see you have signed off right after you post you need help, then I will be highly pissed off. And most people don't want a pissed off Slyfox. Of course, if I'm not online, or haven't replied in a reasonable time frame after you post, then it's okay.
7) Try a different web browser. - We've had some people able to access the forums using a different web browser. Before posting here, try that.
If you ARE able to get back into your account, and you created alts:
8) Please list all of your Alts - By listing all of your Alts, I can go through and delete them. If you do not list them all, it is possible later on that you will register as an Alternate Account, and you will be banned from our forums. Please do your part to avoid mishaps, and LINK me to the profiles of your alts.
Thank you.
