I'm Back... after a long running problem.
« 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...
When my wife leaves me, my dog dies, and they repossess my home, I'll still have my tools.

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!  :))
