Can't log in on the wiki. - Purpshuk - 03-01-2015

Wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this, but I try to log in on the wiki but all that pops up is an error message, something like 'internal error'.

If you haven't made login credentials specifically for the wiki, and are trying to use your forum credentials to log into the wiki, thats where you may be going wrong. In order to create and/or edit articles with the wiki, you must make a login/password specifically for it. The forum and wiki do not share account information/credentials. 

I was able to log into the wiki without issue, so that leads me to believe that's where your trouble might be.

Ah, no, that's not correct. Smile The wiki uses your forum credentials, and there (should be) no way to create an account there that's separate from your forum account. If there's a way to get around that block, I'd be very interested to know how.

If you can copy-paste the exact error message you're getting when you try to log in, then PM me with it, I can look into it for you.

Ohh! I see now, I was confused because I'm pertty sure it said something about entering your forum log in credentials, I'll try that out.

*edit* oh I see, yeah sure thing Freelance!

Whoa, weird, really? I recall having to do it separately. Oh well!

Mod note by FreelanceWizard: Exception text removed for the user's safety.

In case anyone wants to know what's up, I tried on different browsers and same result. I'm certain I used the correct password.

Since this is a security-related issue, please just correspond with me via PM about it. Thanks. Smile
