Help:Log in problems

From WhatRumors: The Celebrity Gossip Wiki

To log in, you must first create an account, then go to the log in page.

How do I log in?

Click on the Log in link at the top right of the page. You will be prompted to enter your username and password. If you haven't logged in before, you will need to enter your password twice.

If you click the box Remember my password across sessions, you will not have to give your password again when you access WhatRumors from the same computer. Do not use this on computers at libraries, internet cafes, or other public places, or others may be able to login with your user name.

How do I log out?

You can log out any time by clicking on the Log out link in the bar at the top of the page.

How do I change my password?

Click on the Preferences link in the userbar at the top of the page for various account options, including changing your password.

If you appear to be able to log in, but as soon as you try to look at a page after the 'Log in successful' page you appear logged out again, it is very likely to be a cookie problem. If you are certain that cookies are enabled, make sure that you haven't inadvertently listed www.whatrumors.com on a list of sites to never allow cookies for.

• Mozilla Firefox
  • See Tools > Options... > Privacy > Cookies > Exceptions

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and above
  • See Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites

Also make sure your computer's date and time are set correctly; if they are not, cookies may expire before they're supposed to.

It could also be a cache problem - try CTRL-F5 or hold SHIFT while clicking your browser's Reload/Refresh button. If you're still having troubles remaining logged in, contact someone who knows about computers and see if they can help.
