Umm..guys? Something REALLY strange just happened..I got booted OFF DU and couldn't get back on.

[lildreamer316]

Just now,on my laptop. It would not recoginze me (No such user) on the login page, THEN it wouldn't recognize my password. When I asked for my password to be sent to me, it said it had, but did NOT.
Did someone hijack my laptop? How can I tell? Everything looked normal...really. All the details of each page were the same.
HELP!
The only way I'm on now is that I shut the laptop down and went to the desktop, where I am still logged in.

Yes, I did just clear out my temp folder (see other post); but I have the NEW explorer which allows you to dump those files without dumping your cookies, which I left up.
??????????????????

1. I'm frankly surprised you can get back on now....

I must have done something terribly wrong....

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[lildreamer316]

2. Ohhh dear.

:spank:

[billyskank]

3. It's because you never posted a picture of yourself

You have violated the DU Lounge Terms of Use. ;)

:hi:

[lildreamer316]

4. But...but....

I look like CRAP right now.
I'm a Leo. Gotta have a good pic before I'm going to post.
(Waaaaah)

[BikeWriter]

5. Oh, ####! I once married a Leo!!!!!11

[lildreamer316]

16. ...sorry...

we can be pains in the ass sometimes.

[billyskank]

6. Ah, the old "I look like crap" excuse

I have heard that one before. People who protest that usually look fantastic. ;)

[lildreamer316]

9. Flattery will get you everywhere.

Almost.........:evilgrin:

[billyskank]

13. Yay!

Almost is good enough for me. :D

7. Huh? lildreamer did post her pic...

Around Halloween.

See what you miss out on by not embracing our Murikan holidays?

:patriot:

[billyskank]

8. Ah, it's amazing what you miss

[kay1864]

10. Seriously, is there any celebration of Halloween there?

I know it didn't catch on in Denmark, and I think France just banned it or something recently.

[billyskank]

12. Yes. It is a traditional festival time here too

but unfortunately the stores are pushing all the Americanised stuff on us. We used to have our own idiosyncratic 'celebrations'.

[kay1864]

15. Is it like American Halloween?

Costume parties, or kids going door-to-door for candy?

[billyskank]

17. That's what it is these days, yes

[leftofthedial]

11. the purge has begun

are your bona fides in order, citizen?














just kidding. I don't know what that was. :shrug:

[lildreamer316]

14. OK. I"M NOT KIDDING. My password has been changed.

I KNOW it should be one thing. I tried changing it from this end,and it says the current password I'm using is not correct.
I have not been sent my password from the help page, either.

[billyskank]

18. Ask the admins

[e-mail] or something like that.

[lildreamer316]

19. I did.

and I've asked my password to be reset 3 times already.
Nothing.

[billyskank]

20. Takes them a while to get through their mail sometimes, I think

It doesn't mean they're ignoring you.

[lildreamer316]

21. Oh I know that...

but I thought the password request was automated.

[billyskank]

22. Yes, that sounds to me like your email address has been changed too

It is all highly fishy, to be sure.

Still, if you're able to post then you're obviously logged in. You can check your email address, just go to 'Options' and then 'Edit account information.' If you email address has been changed you can change it back, and then you can request your password too.

If your email address is still correct then it sounds like something in DU is fubar.

[lildreamer316]

23. Nope, my email is the same...

I wonder what the hell?
The only reason I'm on is because I'm now on my desktop. All the funny stuff happened when I was on my laptop.
I just rebooted it and ran all my spyware and antivirus stuff,and came up empty.Now I'm having it check for updates.
Wonder if it's in that new Explorer browser. It's installed on my laptop, but not on my desktop.
