Every time I want to log in, I have to use the 'forgot your password' option. But believe me, I didn't forget my password!
Steps:
Try to log in with my usual name/password, fail. Just for kicks, try my email address/password, fail.
Request new password, click on link, use the one-time login option.
You land on the page where you set your password. I set it to the same one I've been using all along. (Retyping it twice, not cutting/pasting, so I know I'm not reproducing a typo over and over.) [I've also tried different passwords, just in case.]
Save the change.
Log out.
Use the login link at the top of the screen, use my username/password I just set. Fails. For kicks try my email address/password, fails.
Use the 'forgot your password link...
I had this issue when the site first opened (which is the big part of the reason I didn't come back much, it was too much of a pain to log in). It's been happening nonstop since I returned, too.
I'm using Firefox with noscripts, but this site is whitelisted. I'm not having this issue anywhere else. I'm confused what else to try.
Thanks! :)
ellyflowers actually had/has this exact same problem.. I thought maybe she was messing up capitalization somewhere. Will be interesting to see if I'm wrong and there's an actual fix.
I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me.

There's already a thread on this over here: http://wyrmrestaccord.net/forums/life-in-the-realm/site-technical-issues-and-feedback/log-in-issue
Thanks for the link! I'll post my fix here, in case it helps other people.
Turned out the link held the key: Usernames are case sensitive. My username was saved as "thistle", so no matter how many times I retyped it, it would go back to lower case.
In Firefox: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords" . If you're like me and have lots of things listed, search for 'wyrm'. You'll see your login name listed. Highlight it, click remove.
I'm not sure if this is necessary, but next I came back to this site and I cleared both user name and password fields, then reloaded the page. Then I typed it in correctly "Thistle" and the password I had reset so many times, and it worked!
I've had an entertaining number of people contact me regarding this, and I've yet to find a case where I've confirmed it's not one of two things: capitalization or a browser filling in the wrong username. In light of that, I've now stickied a topic about this. (But if you've gone through those things and still are having issues, I would appreciate being contacted to sort out if there's anything odd going on.)
