Default I did the "associate account with Facebook" thing and it is horrible, how to get a pw

When I set my account up I did it where it associates the account with a Facebook account. Well, it takes that Facebook logo like 5 minutes to appear and then it randomly logs me out so I have to wait another 5 minutes for the logo to appear. How can I just get a normal user name/pw to my account?

I believe you login via the Facebook bridge, go to the UserCP section and update the Password and Email address with ones you supply. I believe that will get your account to "normal" status.

it will not allow me as it wants a password, when i enter my facebook password it does not work, if i try the "forgot my password" link it wants my email, which if i put my email in it does not find (since my email is not associated with this account), and if i put the email that defaults (some weird facebook address) it acts like it does it but i never get the email.

any mod's able to change my account email to
james.k.karger@gmail.com?

I was looking at your account and the email address you provided is already used by "dville_ls1". An email address can only be tied to one account.

I know, I created that account because I figured there was no way around this. I'd much rather that account be deleted (I do not believe I have even made one post with it) and then this account associated with this account.

trying to replicate your issues however, and I'm not able to.

Could you run through the steps you took to arrive at your problem please?

thanks!

Okay, well when I signed up here I clicked the facebook logo which associates your account with your facebook account. Figured this would be easy since I leave facebook open most of the time I am on the computer. Well, what happens is that the facebook logo that you must click to login takes a few minutes to appear each time, so then you are left waiting each time you log off (sometimes it randomly logs off). Another problem I had with this was I use an iPhone, and this function does not work with an iPhone.

Thanks so much, now I have a user name and password! Works great now!

Now no matter what I do it logs me out every time I change pages. So for example to post this message I have to log in to click "reply" then when I submit a reply I have to log in again for it to go through. I have tried it on 3 different computers and I have tried clicking "remember me" and not clicking remember me, same thing every time.

that sounds like a cookies & cache problem. Can you try clearing out all your LS1 cookies and your browser cache please?

thanks!

I can confirm there appears to still be an issue with this as it's not being treated as a normal account. I sent Robb a message about it and I hope that helps as I'm sure Robb will get it fixed.

hey dville. Not sure exactly what's going on with your account, but we're going to work through it. Please bear with us, I am sure it's a gigantic pain to log in on every page.
