Re: Can't log into the wiki
You need to make a separate account on the Wiki, don't you?

Re: Can't log into the wiki
would be easy if it works with the same account?
Re: Can't log into the wiki
There's some sort of connection between forum account and wiki account, since changing your forum password also changes your wiki password. I think I didn't have to create a separate wiki account, but I'm not sure.
Re: Can't log into the wiki
Hey, I also can't login. When I click "register" it redirects me to the forum suggesting accounts should be the same. But if I try to login to wiki using my forum credentials, I get an error:
"Login error: You have not specified a valid user name."
Any help would be appreciated.
"Login error: You have not specified a valid user name."
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Can't log into the wiki
afaik underscore in a name ( the _ thingy ) is preventing the wiki from finding / accepting the usernamem_gol wrote:Hey, I also can't login.

Re: Can't log into the wiki
Hmm, is there any chance to fix that? Wikipedia doesn't have a problem with underscores in login name... (it treats it like spaces which it also allows)

Re: Can't log into the wiki
that is probably the problem, wiki plugin searching in the forum database for 'm gol' while only 'm_gol' existsm_gol wrote:Hmm, is there any chance to fix that? Wikipedia doesn't have a problem with underscores in login name... (it treats it like spaces which it also allows)
Re: Can't log into the wiki
I assume you also had this problem? Do you know who to contact about this?

Re: Can't log into the wiki
no clue, it's been like this for a while (i'm unable to login to the wiki still)
Re: Can't log into the wiki
I have just written to Wolfire, let's see what they say.
EDIT: Eric from Wolfire proposed to change my username and I agreed to remove the underscore. I suppose this is the only thing they can do in a simple way.
