Recovery Password - Who got this working?
For some odd reason, my password stop working for my original account "PHLN". Then I lost PHLN2 account too.

I posted a thread under Site Feedback & Suggestions but it havn't got much attention.

I tried messaging Chad through the forum function but he havn't reply.

Can you guys help me test out to see if any of these options work for you guys?

Try logging out and Recovering Password.

Also try using the built in function of the site to message a admin. Let me know if you can see the CAPCHA

You're right. The password recovery form does not seem to be working. The most likely reason for this is that a while ago MI had to change servers and that move caused a few problems which good ol' Chad fixed as he was made aware.

Be aware though, that Chad is no longer a student and from what I understand, has a full time job. Just send a message to his account and I'm sure the problem will get dealt with as swiftly as he can afford to do so. Here is a link to his profile if it is at all helpful (link)

No, no I did not.

It would seem that the private message function is down.

That's definitely possible. I remember a few months ago there were issues for IA's with the reward system.

Yeah, I can't access it anymore and I was so close to breaking into the 10 richest users when I switched over too T_T

Awww. You should let Chad know. It took a while before we realized it wasn't working. But it is now! So I'm sure he knows where the problem is

Hi all

Is the password recovery still not working? I checked it with a test account and I was sent the recovery e-mail just fine. You then click the link in the email and go through the steps.

If you aren't receiving the e-mail maybe you have [email protected] blocked from going to your inbox?

Let me know if it still isn't working. Also, if you lost your password I can reset it for you. Email [email protected] om or use the 'send message' link that was posted above. Note, that DOES work... I receive those messages. As well as private messages, but I've been swamped lately so haven't been able to reply quickly as I normally do. Thanks for your patience to those who have contacted me needing assistance.

I still can't access the reward center, and can someone send me a PM to check if I can get them now?

The only other problem I have found with the site which be fixed at this point seems to be a browser specific. I cannot view the front page articles in firefox. I think you've managed to fix everything else that's important.

Though, if I might suggest something for future add-ons if you ever get the time, I think it would be nice if you could enter your classes into your profile and you would be able to know how else in in your class. Like I could go into my profile enter that I am in Physics 1L03 C03 and be able to view a list of everyone else that has also listed Physics 1L03 as a class they are in. It could be useful for people who need to catch up on a missed class or perhaps scheduling study groups, etc.
