I changed my email on my profile. I tried to enter a password that I use for numerous online stuff. It said my password is wrong, I didnt see anywhere to click " I forgot my password and I need a email to make the change..

Anyone? Thanks

I think if you try to log in from the login in box, not do it in the change password box. Now that your email is good.

This is largely a name/domain name change in order to become independent of Psych Central.

This means that...

- The name of the site (and its logo) will change to "My Support Forums"
- The domain of the site will change to mysupportforums.org
- The association with Psych Central will end
- We will institute new but similar terms of service and privacy policies
- The arcade, which relies on Flash technology that most modern web browsers no longer support due to security issues, will be shut down

Old quiz results will still be available in your account, but the ability to save new quiz results will no longer be possible

Nothing else about the community will change. You'll still have your same member account here, we'll still have the same moderators, and I'll still oversee things as I've done since 2001.

The only change most members will experience is the need to have to log back in once we've transferred the forums over to the new server. That means if you don't normally log in here (you stay logged in all the time), you should make sure you remember your password (or reset it now to something you'll remember).

The specific date for the change-over will be on Monday, December 21 at 12:30 pm ET. The old site will redirect to the new site automatically when it does happen.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
DocJohn

Thank you for letting me know

[DocJohn]

Give it a try now....

[noctiluca]

I can't seem to login to the chat feature on my phone. It keeps saying the psychcentral server IP address could not be found.

All earlier "not found" problems have gone away.

I was about to post the same thing about Tapatalk. I had to log out and log back in, but it's fine now.

If you need to change your password and no longer have access to your original email address, simply change your email address FIRST and confirm the change.

Then you can change your password by clicking on the "Forgot password" link. That link is available after you've logged out and try and log back in.

Thank you for explaining. I first thought I had done something wrong.

sure, I have a question

will the forums.psychcentral.com eventually stop redirecting to this site, and if so.. what do I use then?

I do like the new name though.

cool..

I'm not Doc John but you just have to bookmark "mysupportforums.org".

I'm using tapatalk.

When I edit my profile and select, eg Complex PTSD for "Primary Concern" and hit Save, it doesn't save but populates "primary concern", "secondary concern", "additional issue" 3 to 5 incorrectly as "acute stress disorder".

It also doesn't save my preferences on time, date format etc.

It persists even though I've logged out and back in.

I can only log on with a temporary password which I safe so that I can automatically lot on. How ever when I try to create my own password it won't let me. I am wondering why?

[IowaMouse]

I messed things up so badly with my account when I tried to reset my password that I was unable to get back in, so I opened this one. Now I'm not sure what to do. We aren't supposed to have two but I don't know how to fix it.

Further complicating things, I no longer use the email account I had when I first registered here.

Help!!!! What do I need to do?

I ran into that issue, head-on, tonight. It might still present some frustration for people who are not here on a day-by-day basis.

I had to try several different things before I could get a new password, and sign in. It took a few tries.

I was able, finally, to procure a new password (still haven't figured out how to re-set my own preferred password, but I'll work on it) by re-reading my email and locating the 8-character combination sent to me. Copying and pasting will work for me, until I can set my own. (Sometimes, when stressed, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.)

The only thing I can suggest is that if you're also friends in real life with other members from here, that you let them know about all of this, so they are not disappointed, and left with no support if they need it.

Sent with all best regards, MG

p.s.- I had not read ALL the replies when I wrote this, and so by-passed excellent advice earlier on in the thread. It works if you know follow wiser people's leads.

thanks!. apreciate it

[DocJohn]

If you PM me, I'll get your account fixed up.

If you can't login, send an email to: community@mysupportforums.org and our helper there will fix your account or reset your password.

Thanks for your understanding and patience during the transition.

[lizardlady]

Much thanks to Doc John, admins and mods. There was a SNAFU with my account after the switch that suspended my account. They fixed the problem and here I am again.

Doc John you are a guardian angel to all of us
The new site is great.

[IowaFarmGal]

I'm back now too! Thanks so much to Doc John and blue koi!
