Hello Chums..

Is anyone else having problems logging into Flightsim?
Both the Main Site and/or the Forums?

My Name and Password, even my e-mail address, is no longer recognised, after countless years of use in the Flightsim Site!.... Shocked...!

I'm having problems too.
I know they were "modifying" their log-in procedures, so we may have to create new accounts.  Undecided

A few days ago (20th), I got an email from 'webmaster@flightsim.com' advising of a temporary password - a mixed bag of lower/upper/numeric - to use for login to the 'new' system.  This worked and I immediately converted back to my usual password.

It's Crazy... Shocked...!

Trying to retrieve my account by giving my E-Mail address :
http://www.flightsim.com/RecoverPwd.php results in....

INVALID E-Mail Address!!

Even attempting to E-Mail the Flightsim Webmaster with details of the problem, results in a failed E-Mail process!....Good Grief!

Why don't they leave "things" alone. It worked perfectly OK before!

Arse!

Paul...Sim V and Avsim... Kiss...!

Would you flippin' believe it!... Angry...!

I have had to register as a new Member all over again, after being with Flightsim for many, many years!

They have lost all trace of me and my previous account details!

I am so angry, I could spit!... Angry.... Wink....!

Was your account registered under your current e-mail address? I had no problems logging in at all. When I checked my account I found it was under my old Freeserve e-mail address from when I originally joined over 10 years ago. Shocked

If they'd tried to mail me a new password I obviously wouldn't have received it.

Yep, Doug...

I've been lucky enough to retain my old "Freeserve" E-Mail address since the Dawn of Time!... Kiss...!

Freeserve > Wannado > Orange....

My internet "connection" is now with Talk-Talk (6.5/8.0 Mb's ), changed from Orange, but my Freeserve E-Mail address is still with Orange. It has never changed, even since the days of Dial-up...(or the Dawn of Time, whichever was the earlier)...!

Paul.... Grin...!

P.S... I have now registered anew, using my old/original Name and Password, and was accepted without a clash, so they must have lost my previous details!!
...they mess with "things".... Wink... Grin...!

P.P.S...SeanTK was having similar problems.

I cannot log in either. Being a paying member (same as I am on SimV), I feel a little cross. Logging in with my username and password results in a 'unknown account' message. Hope they get it fixed soon.

For the life of me, I cant understand why they are messing with the Site, it was perfectly OK as it was before!
All my previous details, posts, etc, are now lost, and I am back to square one again!

Paul... I give up!... Angry...!

Seems that I can log on again since this morning. Tried it last night and was still unable but it's working again fine now. Maybe a glitch of somekind?

Eh, I just made a new account with a slightly modified log-in name and a newer email. No big deal now.

I've had the same username & password for FlightSim since I joined. I received the e-mail from the Admin with the new password, logged in with it, and changed the password back to my old one. Everything was fine.

Now of course, if you didn't get the e-mail, changed addresses or haven't used the site in a while then there might have been issues.
