I know it has nothing to do with this site, but I need help. I've still been checking out BBF. This morning it said my password was 1220 days old and was now expired!?!?!?? What? Now I can't log on no matter what I do. If somebody could help me out that'd be great.
Same thing happened to me. The page that gave that "expired" message also had a link to click on to "create a new password." Of course, you can use the same one. Dunno what you do if you ignored that link.
Somebody should tell BBF that making it more difficult to participate in their site isn't exactly a proven model of business. I'm done over there anyhow. I like it over here, plus technically this site is miles ahead of BBF. I have a fiber optic connection and it still took up to a minute to load a page there at times.
Yup. Seems like an unnecessary nag. But I only lurk these days, so it doesn't much matter to me. BBF can run things how they like.
I see that they took away all of my "Rep Power" as well as the rep power of some other posters. http://www.basketballforum.com/portland-trail-blazers/411019-fate-xericx.html#post5687269 What a bunch of cowards.
I don't think you're banned. You probably got some activation e-mail that has a link you need to click on to re-enable your account.
Interestingly enough, I am not banned from there. I choose not to post. I want to see that board die a quick death. I encourage all of you to stop posting there cold turkey.
It happen to me this morning. I just entered a new password and confirmed the new password and everything has worked. If it didn't work it probably would have just been the end of me going to BBF or at least making any posts. I only go there a couple times a day to see what is happening on BBF. I usually only stay a couple minutes because I see less and less posts all the time.
We have that feature turned off. It basically times out your password to force you to choose a new one periodically (the timeout can be set). It's good for security so your account isn't as easily hacked. On the other hand, it's obtrusive and interferes with people doing what they want to do - read and post.
I'm not sure they disabled your rep power, but I would if I were afraid of people using it to spam others (and I cared about that sort of thing).
Aw crap, apparently I can post and I got my beloved rep power back. It makes this divorce that much more painful...
I love how about 6 threads in EBB were merged, when they absolutely didn't need to be merged and have little to do with each other. Just an attempt to piss of DaRizzle and MDIZZ, obviously. Those mods really are fascist.
