Forgot to say as well that trying to have it reset my password simply takes me to the Support site. I'm offered no option get get my password reset.StarkmanAlive wrote:Well, I can't log in now since my thread was moved from Firefox Support to MozillaZine Support.

I did not post to Mozilla.org. My thread was posted at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38, which, according to the Website, is MozillaZine, Firefox Support, not Mozilla.org.James wrote:Your thread was moved from Firefox Support to MozillaZine Tech http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3006347
I have one; it's how I posted my original thread. I've even gone back to my bookmark that took me to where I posted my original thread, and the bookmark shows the address as mozzilaZine.org.James wrote:You need a forums.mozillazine.org account
Trying to use the "I forgot my passoword" link takes me to the page to give my username and email information. Doing so takes me right back to the forum site and never sends anything to my Hotmail account. It's simply a repeating circle: click "I forgot my password," fill out the information, back to the MozillaZine.org forum site.James wrote: If you forgot the password for your mozillaZine forum account you can use the "I forgot my password" link

Here is the URL in the properties of the bookmark: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38
So I never went to Mozilla.org to post my thread.
And since you folks moved my thread, I cannot log in to MozillaZine.org.
I'm not sure why you keep bringing up Mozzila.org. That site, as I noted, has nothing to do with the issue. Why is this even part of the discussion?James wrote:*Mozillazine.org is independent http://www.mozillazine.org/about/ as it is not a part of nor is it run by Mozilla.org as Mozilla has their own support forum at support.mozilla.org/questions/
Your thread was created in the Firefox support section of http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php yes and your thread is still there in Firefox Support as a shadow link there as the thread was moved to the MozillaZine Tech section of this forum.
Not true. I had logged in order to posted my thread, the login having gone just fine. It was only after the thread was monkeyed with (i.e., "moved") that my login would not work. I tried over and over at various times. I neither forgot my password nor mis-typed it nor had my Caps key nor had any other interference on my side.James wrote:The thread being moved from one section to another had nothing to do with you not not being able to login into your account as you just forgot your password to login or mistyping.
James, are you not reading my posts? I've been a member for some time now, and it was never an issue of "Wow! Now that I can log in, I can post elsewhere in the forum." Please pay attention to the posts I've posted! (Didn't the fact that I've already posted here clue you in that I'm quite aware of how forums work?)James wrote:Now that you can post with your Starkman, you can posts threads/replies in ALL of http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php including the Firefox Support section.
Again, I'm not sure why you keep harping on this? Mozilla.org is neither here nor there. If it didn't exist right now, there'd be no change in anything I've said. I even gave the URL for the bookmark I have for this site, not Mozilla.org. Why do you keep going back to that site?James wrote:The mozillaZine site was started back in 1998 and the forums part was started Nov 4th, 2002. Due to the Mozilla in name and people not being aware of Mozilla's own forum at support.mozilla.org/questions/ that has existed for some years now, people still occasionally mistake mozillaZine as Mozilla. Also there are no mozilla.org links on top or bottom like a typical mozilla.org page to also show it is not a Mozilla.org site.
Look the only thing the Mod did was just move your thread to another section of http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php. The Mods do thread moves several times a week here and the OP is still able to login and continue to post in their thread over time just fine. You are the first I have ever seen here if your claim was true that a simple thread move somehow affected your ability to login to your account.Starkmann wrote:Not true.

Oh you did change the password alright, four times in almost three minutes at last attempts. Did you check for new emails in Hotmail account before trying again. You were the only one that did any changes to the Starkman account due to the password resets.Starkmann wrote:As I stated, even the "Forgot my password" link wouldn't work; after allowing me to fill out my username and e-mail it did nothing but take me back to the forums, without sending me a link to renew my password.
You gave me the url of the Firefox support section of this forum which is one of the five parts of the Firefox part of this forum. The url was not to the thread itself. Also as I said your thread was still listed in Firefox Support as a shadow link as the shows so you would still have found your thread.Starkmann wrote:I even gave the URL for the bookmark I have for this site, not Mozilla.org.

Yes, I changed my password a few times, both before the login issue and after, but clearly not during the login issue (I mean, obviously, we wouldn't be having the conversation if I were able to have changed my password after my post was moved!). It wasn't until yesterday when, again, after several attempts to get the "I forgot my password" function to work that it finally kicked in. And until then, as I told you, I never got an email, not a one in all the other attempts except the last attempt.james wrote: Oh you did change the password alright, four times in almost three minutes at last attempts.

Yes, the URL I gave you was not to the thread itself—that should have been clear—but to this site in general; to demonstrate that I have both an understanding of the difference between Mozilla.org and MozillaZine.org. Further, I've had an account here for some time and have posted here before. That was the point of the URL.james wrote:You gave me the url of the Firefox support section of this forum which is one of the five parts of the Firefox part of this forum.

Again, here's my original post that was moved: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3006347. Where in here did I say anything about Mozilla.org? I can't find anything of the sort. And as to this thread (in which I'm posting right now), same thing: where did I mentioned Mozilla.org first? Would you mind cutting/pasting my mentioning of Mozilla.org for me? Perhaps that will clear up some of this on my side.amrad wrote:Actually, you did mention support.mozilla.org in your post: viewtopic.php?p=14607743#p14607743 before the OP did.
