    Hi,

    I can login using Safari, but since my name change I can' t login on any other browser. I would refreshed the page to see my name change so stay logged in on Safari at that time.

    It just says 'login failed'. Also tried changing my password.

    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    Can I make sure that other browsers aren't autofilling the login form (possible with outdated information)? Would you like to email hello@boards.ie from the email associated with your account and we can reset the password for you.

    The sign-up page isn't letting me register with a username featuring an apostrophe so I wonder if that might be causing issues (can't test on Safari). Will look at changing a test username in the morning when the database allows for changes and see what happens.

    Hi,

    No I'm definitely not auto filling the password.

    I changed the password myself and it works in Safari, but not in Chrome now for example - and I've been typing the password in.

    This is only happening since I've tried other browsers I currently wasn't logged into when my name was changed. Hope this helps!

    Some more info: I can login on other mobile browsers, but not on the desktop ones. I've cleared history and cache to try again but no luck. It's not a big deal and I'm sure it'll sort itself out if it's too much hassle.

    Thanks.

    I will try to investigate this further in the morning when the database allows me to change the details on an account that I currently use for testing purposes.

    What browsers worked for you on mobile?

    Your username has a curly apostrophe



    which isn't the same character as a straight apostrophe

    '

    Maybe that's the problem?

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
