I had difficulty logging in yesterday. I had to send for a new password. Which I then changed in my profile.
The same thing happened again tonight but the password sent to me tonight doesn't work!
What can I do now?
(I couldn't use my own user name on this message.)

Re: Login problem
Looks ok. Can you try to log on again and give me the message. Also, is your comcast address still valid?

Re: Login problem
Thank you very much for your help solving my problem by George!
But no good turn goes unpunished. So here is another (less important) problem for you. Why are the posted times off by an hour? I live on the east coast of the USA. In my profile, I set the time zone to Atlantic with DST. Did I do something wrong?

Re: Login problem
Go to "User Control Panel" (upper right). Click on "Board Preferences" and see what you have as "My Time Zone" phpbbs uses UTC so it likely has something to due with this. If George is messing with this we are all in trouble .

[quote="LoudNoise"] [S]ee what you have as "My Time Zone" [/quote]
[UTC-4] Atlantic Standard Time
DST is on.
At 5:48 the time showed 6:48 pm which is the time somewhere in the ocean.
It looks like the BB shows local time for message posted (or are all posted times translated to my time zone.

Testing
Hmm, I don't know. It is working for me. You might want to start a new thread using that as your topic.

Re: Login problem
Same happens for me in central time zone... In the Mozillazine settings I simply set my location to mountain time to correct the error... FWIW, its been like that (for me) since I first got on this board

Re: Login problem
After my last post I guessed that I may have entered the wrong zone, that it should be Eastern Standard Time. I just changed that and the time seems to be working right!

By the way, what is all that stuff that appears at the bottom message of most messages.
