Cant log in at all...

I have no problem getting loggd out, but from other computers I cant log in even with the right password, and if I ask to email me my password I never get that email either. Do you have to log out of a previous session from your original computer before logging in with a new one?

I don't have problems logging in (although my gallery should've been restored with the rest of them...). My issue is the fact that the Cookie doesn't last long enough. Maybe 3-5 minutes. I'd preferr that the time for cookies to expire to be changed to 3-5 days. Weeks even.

Ah well.

Brow: IE 6

The reason you are getting logged out is simple (I just thought of it and Googled)

IE only allows 20 cookies per website after which it will overwrite the oldest cookie.
Furaffinity tracks pageviews by adding a unique cookie for every single submission. So you will quickly hit the 20 cookie limit and your login cookie will be deleted.

I have done this twice and I was logged out both times once I loaded the 20th submission (ie the 21st cookie).
Also, on both occasions, I got logged out from FA in Firefox... I have no idea why that is :p


Firefox/Mozilla users
The same problem... just that you have a much higher limit

You can add these to about:config if you want
network.cookie.maxNumber
network.cookie.maxPerHost

And set them to 65535 (which is the maximum value) and that might solve the problem (I ain't gonna test it, I'm too lazy and it hasn't bothered me yet)

I'm having a problem staying logged in... While browsing FA or uploading my art there it'll ask me to log back in after a short while.

My computer system is a Windows XP
The Browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Foxfire, however the IE was infected by spyware, so after cleaning the IE of spyware it's stuck in offline mode.
The internet connection is a dial-up modem using AOL 9.0 Optimized SE

Many non-IE browsers have been having this problem, though.

Hopefully we can get this fixed tonight. Logging is quite a vital part of this balanced breakfast.

And on the subjects of log in, could someone please send me the password reset email? I don't know how many times I have to ask, and there is nobody every time I go to CHAT for help.

As far as I know, that feature has never worked...I could never get it working when FA was first up several months ago, either.

Yep. Me 2. Every 5 or 6 minutes it asks you to log back in... Of course, that is rather annoying.

It logs me out randomly. Most often when I'm trying to make a comment/watch/fav.
