unable to log in to members section

Post by Dave Clark »

Probably due to advanced senility I am yet again unable to log in to this section. Is it possible to set the password for this the same as my regular password please ?

I'm having the same difficulty logging in to the Members' Area, with the aim of looking for magazine insight about fitting Midget front discs.
A pop-up requests a username and password. My forum combo doesn't work, so I'm guessing the Members' Area requires different credentials.
Assuming that's right, I've just tried to reset my password in my User Control Panel area, because I've forgotten my old one... only to find I need to reference my old password to create a new one. You see where this is going!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Regards,

Mark

Mark, keep an eye on your email as I'll check and reset things for you.

Just as a reminder the website and forum do have separate administraton systems managing them ... it is on my wish-list to try and merge these but they are quite different. So for now it does mean that if you have access to both you do have two logins and passwords. If you use the same login name on both it can be confusing.

So if you change one password remember it does not change the other - you need to do that manually.

Once you have logged in as a Member on the Website there is a second login and password to get to the past publications and magazines. That is displayed when you login ... and it is changed occasionally ... and probably due for a change soon.

It is important you keep us informed of any email changes as the two sites use these to communicate new and reset passwords. If you request a password reset and you don't get one within a couple of hours, could it be we have an old email address on the system? Email me at webeditor@austina30a35ownersclub.co.uk and I can check and correct it.

We are working to "join up" some of the various registers we have: membership, vehicles, and website. We will probably make Membership the "key" database and hang/drive the others off that. One day we may also have proper "Shop fronts" for Regalia and Spares and your address, including email, will be even more important then to confirm orders, send invoices, etc.

If we can find a simple way to do it synchronising your email between these systems and the separate forum database might also be possible, but maybe not instant (an overnight task?).

Thanks, Gary. All sorted now. Just need to find the magazine containing the pearls of wisdom about the front brake upgrade!
For the benefit of others who might need to do the same as me, the username / password combo didn't work first time. The page threw up a website error.
All I had to do was hit Ctrl-R (simultaneously) to clear the cache, rekeyed the credentials, and it worked.
Thanks, again!

Useful knowledge Mark. I'll add something to that effect on the login pages!

Glad to be offering advice, for once, Gary -- rather than depending on the fruits of others' labours.
It won't happen that often, I can assure you!
