Password problems

For the last day or so, when I type in the password for the protected boards, it wouldn't let me in.

Then I tried copy/paste from the PM from Rick giving me the passwords and it worked.

Whatup wit dat? :craz
 
There is a thing on your keyboard called "caps lock". If the little light thingy is lit up, it won't work. Other than that I'd guess you've got some mad "J typn skllz"
 
Didn't you read the post in the password protected area that they've changed the password???
 
You ain't crazy. The VGOF worked fine, but the other one kept giving an error the other day for me. I just thought it was a higher power telling me that I need to work instead of goofing off. Checked again later on and it worked fine.

I was having a problem getting into the "other one" one afternoon, but I think that I using a members name that is real close to the password instead. :doh :burn

I had the same problem a couple of days ago. Could get in one but not the other.
 
There's a weird thing in our software where sometimes the password gets reset if you "touch" a forum (like change the name, or change the description, or anything like that.) Though we don't know who did it (everyone who has the "privilege" of touching that forum says they didn't do it) it apparently happened the other day. The real problem is that some people on the Moderation/Administration staff don't have to type in the password, so we don't know there's a problem until someone alerts us, or one of the other Moderators sees it and tells us. Then we'll swoop in and fix it, but it can take a while.

If you ever see the problem, please PM one of the Administrators or Moderators, or start a thread here, and let us know.

As for the password not working when you type it, but working find when you copy and paste? That sorta sounds like pilot error. :craz :lol

Remember - Midlife said he did it.

Ahh I see. He said he changed it back to the normal password, but he was probably all wattled-up-willy and screwed it up.

or forgot that he had the cap lock on :eek:mg
 
HA! This reminds me of this time that I was a total A-hole and did something devious too...

About 7 years ago, I worked with an "Old School" engineer who was not used to using computers, etc. He was in his 70s - but didn't want to retire. Anyway - he was a "hunt & peck" typer; only used his index fingers to type the letters. Well, as a little practical joke, I swapped the "S" key with the "T" key and the "R" with the "K" key.... so everytime he typed those letters - that was not what appeared on his screen. We watched him for a good hour try it over and over. Punch a letter... then backspace. Punch the letter... backspace. We were ROLLING. (Hell, I'm laughing right now just thinking about it....)

And it get's even funnier. He eventually calls the IT department and explains what is going on. One IT tech comes down, the old engineer shows him whats going on and the IT guy is stumped as well... he tries it. Pushes "S" and the "T" appears... you can see the wheels turning. We are still rolling on the floor...

The IT guys ends up just replacing his keyboard with a new one, NEVER realizing the relocated keys.

Ahh.... I'm still lauging. :lol



I'm such a jerk.... LoL

No arguing the fact that you are a jerk :dh :scar :craz

But the keyboard letter switch is too funny, better yet with the IT dude being baffled. :nk

That's hilarious!!! :lol :lol

At a previous job, there was a guy who wasn't the most computer literate person in the world, so I messed with him. I got in to work a little early, and taped his mouse to the mouse pad. So when he moved the mouse the pad went with it, and the cursor wouldn't move. After a short time, he figured it out and I heard him yelling my name from across the building!!!

Another time, I found a nice little app that ran in the background that made farting noises. I put it in the startup, so it would load when the computer was booted and I cranked up his speakers. This one didn't go as planned but still got someone. The morning that I did this, the guy booted up his computer and grabbed me to go out and do some inspections. While we were gone the guy in the cubicle next to his kept hearing someone making rude bodily noises and there was no one around. He thought that someone kept coming by his cubicle that had a bad gas problem!! Again, when he figured it out....I got blamed!!
