The really huge tech hurdle for us this year was moving to our new server, thanks to David Saunders, who managed to squeeze it in between his epic bike trip, the Beater Challenge and the usual challenges of having a job and family. But there’s still a number of little glitches in our WordPress setup, one of them being that folks commonly can’t log-in after registering at CC. But there’s a simple baling-wire fix:
Trouble getting an initial Log In after registering for the first time at CC? Unfortunately, it’s a common problem, and here’s the fix; Try to Log In, but pretend you forgot your password, and ask for a new password to be sent to you via email. Use that to Log In, and if that works fine (it always does) you can always change your password to your preferred one.
Just did a “bailing job” on my car yesterday. Rear exhaust box rusted out and could not find one firm that could supply me with a replacement part. The vehicle has been driving with the box hanging off on some wiring so as to give the impression that it’s still operating, but a two feet section is missing between the silencer and the next part of the exhaust; sounds like a tractor whilst driving.
Solution? Found a marine shop that sold heatproof rubber hose for boats exhaust systems. It fitted like a glove and an hours’ drive in heavy traffic yesterday afternoon confirmed that it’s not likely to catch fire anytime soon.
My car got badly damaged in a recent typhoon so I’ve decided that it’s going to the scrap yard when the tax runs out in four months. Just need it to keep running until then!
Good to know, thanks. Will try to log in that way
Nope, still no luck. What a shame.
You registered at CC but couldn’t log on afterwards? Even after using this?
I haven’t been able to register, every time I try I get a red bar on the screen and it won’t let me go any further. I’ve tried different devices and browsers too.
That’s because you’re already subscribed! 🙂
So stop trying to subscribe again and just log in. And if that doesn’t work, use the protocol as described in this post.
It still wasn’t working. It’ll send a confirmation email, but one never shows up in my inbox (or junkbox, etc).
Hi Paul, I’m having the same problem described by AI S.
I register, the red bar appears, I ask for a new pwd, ans so on.
Any suggestions?
Works! Thanks!
The problem that I have and I believe others also have is that after I hit POST COMMENT I get a WARNING, YOU ARE POSTING TOO QUICKLY
Even when it is the only thing that I have posted in 24 hours.
I’m inclined to think that it’s something to do with your device/browser, because I have never gotten that, and I often bang out numerous comments in a row.
What do you use? Have others experienced this?
I’ve gotten it as well. PC with current Firefox. It’s hit or miss, haven’t figured out an isolated scenario.
I know this works, because it worked for me!
I’m not registered, but check the site every day, and often post replies. Since last week, I am unable to receive photos. All the text is there, but no photos. Any suggestions?
That worked for me!
I’ve registered again to see if I can just get the posts when they come out. I haven’t been able to log in and haven’t got any emails from the site for almost 2 years! To be frank, I almost forgot that it still existed until someone mentioned it to me. I’ve been getting by on the daily Hemmings blog for my old car fix. I hope I will start to get the Emails from here again.
Log ins aren’t the only problem with your new server. The mobile site does not work properly on my iPhone. The “Load more entries” link no longer works. I’ve sent several emails to you reporting this problem but still the problem pesists. Mobile site worked perfectly on old server. Would really appreciate a fix. Thanx.
