Some possibly noob questions

TehLooter · 01-12-2009, 04:20 PM

Hey, I've been switching back and forth btwn the forum and the "browse" section on the DaTorrents home page and I'm wondering if there's any difference btwn the two in terms of accounts?

I can never log on for the DaTorrents main page (it keeps saying I can't log on if I don't enable cookies, but it still says that after I turn down all safety/privacy settings and firewall too - for a few seconds, of course).

Thanks a lot ahead of time

The forums and the tracker (DaTorrent's homepage) are separate databases. As a result two registrations are required, one for the forums and another for the tracker.

yea, but it won't let me register? something abt enabling my cookies... which i did and even went as far as dropping firewall for a while...

I had the same problem but I found out I registered under roninmayhem (Torrents) instead of ronin_mayhem (Forums) so select the Recover Options under the Login and enter the email address you registered under and it will send you the username & password (the password you will have to change once you have logged in).

The forum and tracker accounts aren't shared. You have to sign up to each individually...

Sorry, yes I forgot to mention that they are both Individual Accounts but the "Enable Cookies" Problem could also mean that you have already registered and that you just need to Select "Recover" under the Login, enter your email address and check to see if your Registration is truely completed. It will email you your Username and a Temporary Password that you will need to change once you have logged in. If this does not work for you, then I don't know how else to help but that is what solved my problem because I know it wasn't an "Enable Cookies" Problem as I used 3 different Internet Browsers (Safari for PC, Internet Explorer & Mozilla FireFox) to see if this was truely a Cookies Problem.
