[HELP] Can't access findthelostring forum Hi guys,
Was wondering if somone could help me with finding out why I can't log in and access the findthelostring forum. I have registered but when I log in, it still says Welcome, Guest in the top left hand corner.
So I can't make posts or anything.
Sometimes when I click a link, a pop up box comes up asking for my login and password and it won't accept my password.
This could be a ploy orchestrated by the antagonists for me to not play!
Damn..

The site has been glitchy at times - but have you updated your Flash?

Always best to have the most current version since the designers like the zippy new stuff. Unless there's a plot related reason to go with old stuff.
Go to their website and download the latest version.
You can also clear your cache. Sometimes that helps.

How to update Flash:

How to find out if you need to update Flash:
Go here
to see what version you are running. If it says "Your player version 9.0.115.0" in orange letters, you already have the latest version.
I would also suggest going back to the forums , logging in again, and then clicking on the refresh button in your browser a few times.

Maybe I'll just play Monkey Island instead..

then it would be security or browser settings, especially if they're still default.
oh the joys of browser wars... =P
