I received an e-mail today from Ahmetia Campbell with the address sailor_snake89 at yahoo.com stating:

I just signed up for your forums after a friend of yours got me onto Muilt-Verser at AnimeNext. I tried signing up for your forum but my password/confirmation was never sent.

Thank you,
Ahmetia

I have responded asking for user name, whether this is the e-mail address used, and whether the password might have been blocked by a Spam blocker, and promising to assist however I could.

Thanks.

I had the same problem, actually, when I tried to sign up. I worked around it by requesting a password reset, which I received almost immediately.

Unless the entire site was down, I have NEVER had a problem logging in here. Yeah, sometimes I had to put in my name and password, but that's hardly worth complaining about. Maybe there is something wrong with your computer.

Logging in wasn't the problem - the problem was that, when registering a new account, we never received the password we needed to log in for the first time.

Ahmetia Campbell is one of my other new Versers.

I deduced that.

The user name is Ahmetia, and I have the e-mail address used for the account, which is a Yahoo box, but I don't think I ought to post it publicly.

I'll send a note suggesting the password reset solution.

Ahmetia did attempt to get a replacement password, but that did not work either.

Hmmm...I had no trouble signing up a couple days ago now, and the password mailed in five minutes. What makes her different? I use Windows XP, did you ask if she uses an odd system or has problems on other boards? hmmm...

I don't know what could be causing this problem for a specific user. Admins can manually set a user's password from within the system, so in this cases, maybe just emailing me or MJ and having us take care of it and mail back a new password is the simplest method.

I just made a new one on my different yahoo, it ended up in that spam but hard to find in the other spam, odd. Anyway, glad to finally be connected :D

Yes, welcome. See the threads Yes, You Can Play, But.... (at http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/yes-you-can-play-but) and the thread The Character generation Thread (at http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/the-character-generation-thread) to get started and get acquainted with the site.

Yay Metia found us! Welcome back.

If I remember correctly, we left you off serving in the galley of a particular interstellar cargo ship (I don't feel guilty about running her in the Beta of the world I'm still in after two years, mostly because I'm currently so far off the beaten path of that scenario that I know MJ is making this up as we go now).

To be honest, I don't remember the specific place where we left off, that sounds about right, right now I am trying to remember where the heck my character sheet went :( It's been so long that I forgot where I put it, I thought it was with the Warhammer stuff, but it wasn't so I'll have to keep looking.

I am scheduled to go through my drawers on the 14th, but I might be doing it earlier so that I could find it if it's in there.

It might be a good idea to make up a new one if I can't find it. :(

Could be. Go back to the threads Brock linked, and do your character creation again. With Scott and MJ here to beg for help I might actually be able to do a more thorough job of statting you this time around. And I think you get to do a more thorough equipment list when it's not on-the-fly too. (And even though what you're wearing has probably changed since Con, you still have that black dress and all that when you're not in uniform.)

/sigh, remembering the details, I hope I can find the character sheets, especially since we did stats and stuff.

I am hoping I didn't throw it out by accident! :(

I didn't give it to you did I?

I doubt it. Let's start you a game thread to tinker in, and stop cluttering up this one.
