Who here posts by the 'authentication' method as opposed to registering and logging in?
Thank you for the alacrity of your answers.
Question for all board posters inside
I do cause I lost my password and login id ... and can't remember them... so I just use the authentication method... those that know me recognize the D. Sikes as Don Sikes ... GRIN
info for you inside
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Friday, August 15, 2014, 18:05 (3758 days ago) @ D. Sikes
your user name is Don Sikes.
There is a 'reset password' link at the bottom of the log in page (if you have access to the same e-mail address) if you desire to reset you password and log in.
Paul and I are working out a way to swat a spambot (computer spammer).
I'm in... Thank ya'll very much...

I don't know if your smart phone will work on log in, and I don't know of a way to determine of it can.
Paul and I are working on a way to swat a spammer that is probably a spambot.
The iPhone will log you in
Dunno about other phones
Mine does, but

I just am not thrilled about storing passwords and remaining logged in.
Yeah, I might be "that" guy.
In this case you're not 'that guy'.
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Saturday, August 16, 2014, 16:22 (3757 days ago) @ brionic
I may have an alternate solution and I'm seeing how it works.
Thx. On my home computer, no prob
by brionic , Saturday, August 16, 2014, 20:01 (3757 days ago) @ Miles Fortis
I remain happily logged in but for semi-annual cookie-clearing.
The phone is just a different beast.
I'll be happy to see your plan hatched.
Thx again!

You're not 'registered' on the board..right?
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Friday, August 15, 2014, 20:11 (3758 days ago) @ bob
so you have to do the math problem to post, correct?
You're not 'registered' on the board..right?
yup, bur don't see it as a great inconvenience. FWIW, my Google translation program is set for Irish, not the feckin' scots!
You're not 'registered' on the board..right?
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Friday, August 15, 2014, 21:47 (3758 days ago) @ bob
it may not be an inconvenience, but we have a spammer (probably a spamming computer program) that we are thinking of ways to terminally deal with.
Registering on the board and only allowing registered users to post is a possible, and I really do mean possible remedy.
You're not 'registered' on the board..right?
so has I gots a user name?
No. No user name of 'bob'. It's available at this time.
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Saturday, August 16, 2014, 20:48 (3757 days ago) @ bob
if you wish, register at your convenience set up your account.

Thanks BTW

Your user name is E Sisk.
If I've ever registered I don't log in.

If I've ever registered I don't log in.
Me, too. I don't think I registered. I just answer the math question. If that math question changes and gets into fractions, division, or square root equations, I will register.
it's possible the post format might get harder
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Sunday, August 17, 2014, 13:45 (3756 days ago) @ Mark
then again, I've been experimenting with some different ways to block a spambot and it seems to be working
Wait a minute! I just never log out. My username is in the
upper right hand corner, next to the Users and Log out links.
That's the way to do it.

I'm logged in here on my iPhone. It took a bit of doing, but I got logged back in on the home PC too. Not sure about the wife's iPad, but I don't use much. I didn't even oknq about any 'authenitcation' deal
I cannot remember my log-in name...
Miles, or one of you other mods, can I get a clarification on what I've registered as here please?
I have had as many as 10 usernames and passwords on various boards and another 3 at work.
CRS seems to make it more difficult to remember all of them these days.
Thanks, Mark Stevenson
I cannot remember my log-in name...
by Slow Hand , Indiana, Saturday, August 16, 2014, 10:31 (3757 days ago) @ MarkS or MS or...
Looks like it's MS You can search for user names by clicking on the 'Users' button top right hand corner.
http://www.forum.sixshootercommunity.com/index.php?mode=user&show_user=5
May be "MS"
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Saturday, August 16, 2014, 11:41 (3757 days ago) @ MarkS or MS or...
is one of your email addresses 'BustersdadXXX".
No dice, it won't work...
I did the lost password thing, then went to my yahoo mail.
Using the link claiming to be for authenticating the request
and it just sent me back to the log-in page. Chrome remembered my log-in stuff for this, but it is invalid according to the board.
More help would be welcome.
P.S. It won't let me post this with MS in the name field.
No dice, it won't work...
by Miles Fortis , CIVITATES AMERICAE, Sunday, August 17, 2014, 12:22 (3756 days ago) @ MarkS
Yeah, since MS is registered, you have to be logged in to use it.
Try the 'lost password' link again
Enter the password provided again. You should get in.
Then you can change your password to whatever is easier to remember.
it should work. I've had to do this a few times myself.
Good to go now, thanks Miles
by MS , Southern Michigan, Sunday, August 17, 2014, 18:57 (3756 days ago) @ Miles Fortis
All set and logged in now.
Apparently I'm registered.
I just hit the "Log In" button in the upper right corner and it displays my "user name" and a "hidden" version of my password, and then I click on "Log In" and here I am.
I never "Log Out".

Glad you asked. I haven't posted in quite a while because trying to login always caused problems. Did not recognize me. So tried to change password and told not valid. Tried to correct and told cr already in use. So I just been hanging out not posting.
Did not know about authentication til now.
I can add to ten without pulling off my shoes so this is the way I go. If this takes..that is.
By the way...Dianne and I are looking so forward to seeing y'all in Alabama in a few weeks.
Ok, even trying to post this..cr already in use. So I make it cr...version2.
NO Go.
Should not be this difficult.
