Having trouble logging in? Try clearing browser cookies.

Earlier today I changed a setting that affects the cookie domain for the site. (Then I spent a few hours trying to figure out what I had done and undo it, all while being unable to log in. *cough*)

If you are still having trouble logging in, try clearing your browser cookies. You probably only need to clear the cookies you've gotten for the past few hours.

I was so worried that I was banned for some reason or another when I stumbled upon this post. xD
What a relief!

Well, I couldn't log in, so cleared cookies. Still can't log in on Explorer but can on Firefox :(

Tossing out the forums.wow-petopia.com cookie did the trick for me; for that matter. It's worth noting that deleting the wow-petopia.com cookie alone will not do anything, because that's not for the Petopia forums.

Thanks for the heads-up! Oddly enough, I viewed this yesterday, but it wasn't until this morning that I had issues :?

EDIT: Come to think of it, I tossed out any and all cookie that made reference to forums.wow-petopia, which may or may not have been necessary.

*returns to munching on cookies*

Indeed, was slightly worried.

Also, Mychelle, fancy seeing you here haha. I JUST tamed Olm. Don't know if you got him yesterday or not, but if you know his spawn timer (i don't), you now have a time to work off of, 3pm server time. :D

Best of luck.

THANK YOU-- I tried clearing all cookies from the last 4 hours, from the last 6 hours, the whole of today, and still nothing-- going in and manually killing the forums.wow-petopia.com cookie FINALLY worked!

Thank you thank you thank you...

Egads. Waking up to find you can't log in is a scary thing. I thought I did something wrong, or was banned, or someone was just being evil to me. :p

I was about ready to make a new name and go, "Oi. The thingy is broken. Help!" when I saw this. xD

Small world!!! Thanks to you two posting here, I recognized Mychelle (and Olm!) immediately upon queuing into a group for the V-Day boss with them! xD

I'm really sorry about this, everyone. I hate having to make you do things to fix my mistakes.

Yay! I can log back in ! :D

Thanks M for your help, deleting the cookies worked a treat (who would have thought that cookies could ever be bad for you :shock: )

Wow, glad I wasn't the only one having that problem. And I accidentally figured it out while trying to fix a different issue I was having.
