    my username/password doesn't work for Chat

    I just tried using my username and password (for these Forums) for the Chat, and it kept telling me that I was using an invalid username and/or password. And yet, it originally said that usernames and passwords for these Forums would work.

    Please advise. Thanks!

    Actually IIRC it said the username and password used in the online store is the one to use. I know this is a bit confusing as I got caught by the same thing, my forum information is different than my online store purchase information.

    I hope this helps

    Re: my username/password doesn't work for Chat

    I just checked again, and it said the username is the same as the one for the main page (as well as for the online store, if applicable), so you're correct that it isn't the one for the Forums. But now, I'm even more confused: What purpose is there to have a username for the "parent" site that is not also used for the Forums?

    (Also, can I just have this Forum username and password "promoted" to be of use with the "main" page and online store?)

    Thanks!

    Is there some reason you can't simply make them the same if having them different bothers you?

    Short answer: the forums are a packaged application that run off of their own database (distinct from the database used on the rest of the site).

    I don't know, I haven't tried yet. I just wanted to check out how the Chat system here works. I'll worry about this later.

    Thanks!
