Title: Log in problems!
Post by: liveforever2403 on 19 Feb 2007, 01:15:58
When accessing the site through http://www.armaeditingcenter.com (http://www.armaeditingcenter.com), logging in seems near impossible as clicking 'Login' seems to simply refresh the page. Might be worth some users logging out and in through that URL just to make sure it is a general issue.

And god forbid it's not a phishing site is it :o?

For the avoidance of doubt, no.    We don't collect any information other than that required for logging in.   We have never and will never sell any of your information to anybody.    OFPEC is by the community, for the community.

I think your confused with hackers or acertaining data not specifically needed (here in the UK of course is illegal, how it works on the WWW i'll never know :dunno:).
A phishing site is a 3rd party website designed to look exactly like another. When a victim unwittingly types the wrong site into an address bar (e.g. http://www.opfec.com) and enters details such as logon data or perhaps more frighteningly bank details the site will take that data for fraud, theft or identity crimes.

In other words I got a little worries that someone other than OFPEC made the ArmA editting center to get OFPEC members details.

Anyway apparantly it is a division of OFPEC which is nice to know :good:! Maybe its an issue with just a couple of users :no:? We know how tempermental this site can be a times. I dunno, wont work for me.

Thanks for the report liveforever2403  :)

There's been some compatibility problems with the armaeditingcenter.com domain in the past too, but we 'thought' it would be working 100% now. See if deleting all your ofpec.com and armaeditingcenter.com related cookies and cache will do anything for you, then login through ofpec.com.

The story of armaeditingcenter.com is that we were offered one free domain with the hosting deal we now have, and so in lack of any better ideas we picked armaeditingcenter.com. It's simply used to redirect people from there to here so to speak. :)


Oh, and the idea with not quoting the entire message is that it'll make the topic less readable -  quoting only the relevant part is really what's needed if any and in most cases when the following post is replying to the previous one no quoting at all is needed to keep the conversation readable.
It's just picking out the orange from the lemon basket, to keep everyone focused on the lemons really.  :)

Aaanyway, we'll be looking into the login issue. Please post here again if you get any results from the advice above.
