Could not get user and other silly errors ....

Post by Epsylon » Wed Mar 14, 2007 10:10 am

Hi, Guess I'm not lucky, but here's what happenned : I registered an account in the forge, received confirmation mail, and when I try to confirm by logging in, I have the error : "Could not get user". Ok, so let's resend the confirmation mail : but it said "User doesn't exist", ok damn script, try to send me my pass : "User doesn't exist".

OK, so finally let's register a NEW account with same login/pass, and guess the answer ?
"* That username already exists.
* User with this email already exists."

so what the F... is going on ???

Unfortunately not, cause I had the confirmation message in the forge : "To finish the registration process, login now. Your account will become activated." so I presume the confirmation mail was well formated ....

K, now it really sucks ! I've tried with a different browser(cookies enabled, of course), a different login/pass/mail, and I STILL have the same error.
