Classic British Flight Sim

Has anyone had problems moving to the new Just Flight forum ? Registered users such as myself are advised as follows:

If you had an account on the old forum please use the password reset function on the login page with your old forum email address. We transferred over all usernames that had visited the old forum since the start of 2016.

I've tried the password reset procedure 3 times now, but haven't received a single email. For my JF account, I'm using Outlook and I have checked my junk mail folder each time. Nothing there at all.

I just ended up registering again.

DG, did you need a new user name ? I've just tried to register, but my name is taken - presumably by me! Why do these things have to be so difficult ?

Yes, I did need a new user name. "DaveG" was taken, so now I'm simply "Dave"
I wasn't sure which email address I'd originally used, but tried both my usual ones but didn't get a "password reset" mail on either. It didn't flag up with address already in use when I re-registered so either I picked a different one this time or it wasn't saved anyway.
Personally, I don't like the style/layout of the new forums.

Thanks for the info, Dave. I might send them an email.

I just logged onto the new forum with relatively little problems. If you are a previous user just use the forgotten password tab and you will get an e-mail asking you to reset it then you should get in alright.

That's what I'm doing Simon, to no avail. I've tried about 5 or 6 times now, and the email never arrives. I've looked through all the folders in Outlook to see if they've been deemed spam. I've also made sure I am logged out of the old forum in case that's causing a problem - but no joy.

Could Windows Security Essentials or Malwarebytes be blocking the email in some way ?

I use Microsoft Security Essentials. So maybe not that.

Thanks, Simon. I've re-registered as Paul_K and all seems well. A first-world problem, but it is a bit annoying when things like that happen. Case closed.

About as reliable, accurate and technically sound as some of their products....
