That's the strange thing... I would be totally logged out and it would not let me log in, and I would wander around the website and try the change settings links which would work (like I was logged in as I had set it to remember me always), but then it would still show the "login" and "login for messages" links, no "logout/logoff" ones to be seen. When I try to get a new validation email sent to me, it says I am already validated. Yet when I ask for my password to be emailed to me, it tells me that "The e-mail address you supplied does not match the one listed for that username". Yet this is the same email address that I used to register, AND that it *DID* send to me the validation email which I used to validate it, which it acknowledges as being validated already ... but the first time didn't say that, it just did the normal "it is now validated" thing like it had not been validated before with another user, which you also said there is no other username like that or even close to it... ???
I have also closed my browser and opened it again, cleared my cache and taken away my cookies for all mozilla websites plus my saved forms info, made sure to let those deleted sites be allowed to set cookies in the future by deleting them from the Exceptions listing of the Cookies area, and made sure to not save any of the form info each time after to try and get it to actually use my username and password.
Maybe it will just be easier to set up another account? But I would hate to have the same thing happen again, or possibly to someone else, so I would like to solve it and correct it in any way that I can etc, but if there doesn't seem to be any other way, or it just takes up too much time, then it's probably not worth it really...
