Title: I'm Back... after a long running problem.
Post by: lauver on November 16, 2019, 09:19:16 PM
Gang,

I have been unable to log onto the GG for at least 6 months for some unknown reason.  But today, I gave it one last try, and to my surprise, I was able to log in successfully.

What gives?  Did I shit to close to the front door?  Did I forget to pay my dues?  Where my posts getting boring?  Or, did I somehow forget my username & password?

Just curious...

You shouldn't have had any problems. What error message were you getting?

Rusty,

I suspect it was a problem with my password (the one I've been using since the get-go of GG).  Eventually, I created a new password but never got confirmation via email. On November 16 I tried the new password and was finally able to log in.

That's all I can tell you...

A lot of the emails have been going to spam. The newest Google, Microsoft rule sets are blocking about everything but what they should block.

Rusty,

I have run into other similar problems on several other websites.  I can't get into these sites because they no longer support my browser.

I'm running Win7 and IE both ca. 2009.  My Outlook software is even older.  I wonder if my old software is causing problems on the GG site as well???

That is a possibility.  I've seen it happen on other sites as well.

Glad to have you back Gary. Win 7 should not be a problem, although Microsoft will stop supporting it early January of next year (2020). The problem is most likely the browser -- too outdated. Download a newer version of Firefox or Opera -- newer Microsoft IE/Edge browsers are probably optimized for Win 10 by now

I just figured you got tired of answering Craftsman questions. Being an expert can get exhausting!  :))
