I have a problem. I created this account because for some reason my regular account does not work. It hasn't for the last 3 weeks. I can barely log in and then it goes nowhere, a "server busy" page or just a total blank page. Nothing.
This is me, cradom. Just looked at my profile and it's still there. Have I been banned or something? I go from Member of the month to cant even get on. If I've offended someone, please tell me so I can fix it?
This account works fine. This problem is on several different computers, browsers, and operating systems so I know it's not my computer. I know I cant do a PM with this account yet so this is why this post or I would do this privately with a mod. Using the "contact us" page has been fruitless.
Thanks for your time.
Craig

I will check what I can and alert an admin as I see no reason you would ever be banned! Hang in there.

I just looked at your profile too mate, and it says Last Activity: Today 09:43 AM . . . Van or Chris will get onto it and sort you out :)

Am doing some work on it now - you will not be able to log in as cradom currently as I just changed the password on the account for testing.

I was not able to log in either under that account - it basically froze the screen and then opened a blank page.
I had to reset Safari here to log in with my own account afterwards.

Have an idea to repair - will send info via email.

Hopefully we'll see Craig.

cradom, if you're seeing this and not logged in, make sure to check your spam folders - sent email to both of your addresses.

I'm Back!!!
Seems to be working. Sorry for not getting back to you guys but I normally get up at 3am to go to work so go to bed early.
Have no idea what happened but it was getting unnerving being able to go pretty much anywhere BUT here for 3 weeks (and evidently the Minecraft server, hmmm).
Thanks everyone for helping out. I really didn't relish the idea of starting all over again. Now to go redo my profile...

Craig

make sure to change your password again also - since I know what it is and could play some mischief ;)

glad we could get it sorted

Harry, it's so hot here today, you could fry potatoes on the black top! Besides, Craig is from South East Texas. (actually close to Port Arthur) He's almost a Cajun like Slydude.... ;P

Welcome back Craig!

And to Harry, I am friends with most of them Texans here so be careful! :D Grin

It's 102º F here today and going up to 106º F and hotter tomorrow. OUCH!

I put in the F so poor Vansmith would not think I meant C! :D Grin

Yeah. I looked it up earlier. He's definitely closer to me than anyone in say west Texas.

"Almost" a cajun? My whole family on both sides are from Louisiana. There's a joke around here about Port Arthur being the capitol of Louisiana.
And we have another word for cajun which I wont put here :)

Bet I can guess that word without trying too hard. Where is your family from originally?

I'm a bit north of there. In Creole country but had quite a few friends from that area in grade school. Sometimes I think they don't let you into the state until you can properly pronounce names like Guillory, Boudreaux, Richard, and Thibadeaux on the first try.

Guys, it's starting to happen again!! Getting blank pages and logged back out. Something weird going on here.
EDIT: nevermind... just found the post about blank pages. Is it logging people out too? Did it to me this morning.
