TN is driving me batty!

I'm trying to make a new, less name-associated SN.  It lets me make it, log in, change my avatar and sig but when I try to post, it just sends me back to a page with my name, address, etc.  I click submit, it thinks about it and goes right back to the same log-in/info page.

I made the SN a week ago so I'm over the waiting period (do they even still have that?)  Those who have recently made new SNs--what am I doing wrong?

Re: TN is driving me batty!

  • Um hm. I just made three new SNs (halloween is coming up on PCE Embarrassed ) and it worked fine.  I logged out, created a new account, changed avatar etc, and then saved everything, and then logged out again and logged back in as MrsBecky. 

    I can't think of anything you are doing wrong - it sounds like a random nest glitch.

  • According to the girls on my birth month board, you can request a name change from TB gods (so you keep your same account, posts, etc just get a new name). Not sure if you can do this on TN too, but those girls said to email the gods with a few suggestions for your new name and they give you one that's available. Not sure if that's what you're trying to do or if you're trying to make a whole new name.

  • Dammit Becky, I was hoping you or Wawa or Daisy, all of whom I KNOW have made or are making new SNs would have some insights.  I'll just have to keep trying.  At least you've let me know I'm not just insane or missing some small log-in task.
  • What about clearing the cookies from your browser?

  • SK, I already did that and they basically came back with a "Yeah, no.  Can't happen."  Which I know is false--JennyBeeb said they were doing it for awhile.

    Madlady--That's a good idea, I'll try now.

  • You might also want to try completely closing your browser and re-opening...

    Yes  Definitely. Delete your cache and open a new window.

  • Have you asked Linkbride for help? She's our Board Mod, maybe she has some insight.

  • Did it work? I have logged into both this SN and my AE today without any problems that I know of (but I wasn't creating a new name).

  • It's been a little while since I created this name, but I didn't have trouble logging in. That sounds like one of those annoying-as-hell Nest glitches. Hope clearing your cache helps!

  • Yeah, no.  I cleared everything, closed all the windows, restarted and still glitchy.

    And then I found out every time it re-routed me to the same log-in page and every time I continued to click "submit" (only to be re-routed again, repeat), it sent me an email that said "Welcome to The Nest!"

    So I had about 15 welcome emails to delete.  Definitely a glitch.

  • Have you tried using a different browser?  and logging out on that browser as well? 

    I was only able to get back to this SN after I opened up firefox on my computer (I normally use Chrome, but DH uses FF) and logged out on that. Also I had to request my password be sent to my e-mail... don't know if that really had anything to w/ it though.

  • Do you want me to ask about a name change for you?  I'm not sure what could be going on with your new names but it seems like a glitch.
