Problems Logging In
« on: April 22, 2006, 05:38:37 PM »
I've been having problems logging into the forum website. When i tried logging in i only got "you should supply a username". I've heard others have this same problem. I need to thank Mcshay for telling me how he got back in.

So for those that have this problem:
Find your HOSTS file. You can find this file in your WINDOWS folder. Just use search and look for HOSTS -- the file has no extention, just plain "HOSTS".

Chances are some time ago you've added a few lines to it, to be able to access the website, when there were DNS problems. Just remove those lines, and you will be able to log in again.


Below are the lines you should look for (and delete)
Code: [Select]
# DNS entries for OPU

People were told to do this a long time ago, if you can remember the following post. Which also happens to be stickied and therefor appears at the top of this forum....
