If you're having trouble logging in like I did this morning, I THINK I may know the solution................

Do tell...

Looks to me that it's not needed, lol.

I see some of the regular posters have posted already.
But the problem remains.

If the site is not down for maintenance, users should be able to login using their email address.

Of course, remembering which email address they signed up with could be a challenge.😁

Shooting @Troy an email should be able to get their password reset or whatever.😎

ProfD

I figured once an email would be required to log in, we'd start having more log in problems.

Usernames and Passwords are more straight forward.
Emails tend to be more sensitive with some being accepted and other's not.

I guess this is the direction the world is going anyway........lol.

At my job.
A blue collar job.
Just to see your paystub you need a Username, Password, PIN number, and an Email AND you have to answer several security questions.
....AND you get a text on your phone that expires in 2 minute with a code that you have to enter, lol.

With all of those steps, people are bound to fuck up eventually.
Now you're locked out of the system.
And it's part of a 3rd Party company so you have to contact THEM and not the job.



However if nobody else had any trouble logging in and it was just me, I'll take this thread down.

People tend to have fewer email addresses versus having a username & password for every site they visit.

It should be easier to remember ONE email address that is used to access multiple sites. Keeping up with the password is as bigger challenge.

A smartphone allows users to save their usernames & passwords in a password manager. Very similar to contacts saving phone #s.

The digital world is forcing folks to use the technology to access data & information.

As Earth, Wind & Fire sang..."that's they way of the world".😁

I wouldn't take the thread down. Info might be helpful for someone else.😎

@ProfD I have no problems at all because I'm posting from my phone. I never log out. And I have an app that connects me any time I decide to post.

Which almost eliminates the very PURPOSE of having passwords in the first place.....lol.

If somebody get's the password or PIN to your phone, they can easily get the usernames and passwords to all of your many necessary accounts!

They're making smarter phones, but not smarter HUMANS....lol.

You can make things as sophisticated and technologically advanced as you like but human biology remains the same and people's brains are only going to remember so much.

I think this goes into the AI conspiracy.
They are making a world so complicated that it's pushing out those of low and even normal intelligence.

Even back in the 90s, the idea that people needed to get a college degree just to have a decent job should have been challenged.

I have a cousin who is working on her Masters Degree just to become a registered nurse out in California.
50 or 60 years ago you could become a nurse right out of highschool by just working as an assistant and taking a few courses in the local Community College.

Humans adapt accordingly under survival of the fittest. Those who fail to adapt get left behind &/or they die out.

Employers make the rules in terms of qualifications & credentials.

Good luck challenging the owner of a company or business while seeking employment with them.

The current administration under the 🤡 is trying to roll back degree requirements & credentials for certain professions.

They will try to make it easier for white folks to gain employment in certain jobs like pre-1950s.😎

ProfD

Humans adapt accordingly under survival of the fittest. Those who fail to adapt get left behind &/or they die out.

That theory was applied to humans under NATURAL circumstances, not man-made circumstances like genocide or living under a racist system.

Native Americans survived thousands of years under natural conditions....but were decimated when White folks came

Black people did marvelous things for thousands if not millions of years under natural conditions....until White folks came.

Human evolution wasn't meant to survive the traumatic conditions of being worked to death or given man-made diseases or being shot or blown up.

Those were extreme example of how humans weren't meant to "adapt" to certain conditions.

An AI generated society where you must have an IQ over 150 and a perfect record just to SURVIVE and barely make a living is unnatural and will eventually collapse.

People are NOT adapting.

That's why you see so many snapping by killing eachother and killing themselves.

Millions of people in America alone are locked up behind bars or living homeless on the streets...they are NOT adapting.

....and we won't even get into the conditions of people in other parts of the world who are dropping like flies.

I asked on a separate thread are people better off today than they were 40 or 50 years ago.
I argued that they weren't.....because society is far too complicated than it needs to be.

If 90% of humanity dies off, you can't point to the 10% who didn't as "evolution" or evidence of human adaptation.
They are exceptionally fit survivors under unnatural circumstances, like those Earthquake victims they're still finding down in Venezuela.

There are 8 billion people on the planet. The world population is going up.

That would suggest people are finding ways to survive & a reason to procreate & live.

It will take a very long time to wipe out 90% of the world population.😎

Well if you look at the rate population growth is declining and the total population is expected to begin to decline before the end of the century.

@harry brown can't login. I don't know how to help him either. I can login with the user credential I gave him, but he can't...

Man you have no idea how many hackers there are trying to just fu*k sh*t up just for kicks. Then you have the spammers. The email address is a trivial vaccination that has helped.

The turn of century being 74 years away, unless there is a major catastrophic event, I doubt the world population will drop by several billions of people.

IOW, I believe there will still be 8 billion or more people walking around on the Earth in the year 2300.

Of course, the chances of people over 25 years old today being around to confirm &/or witness the year 2300 i.e. living to 99 years or older are are very low.😁😎

ProfD

It's just natural human instinct to fuck, eat, and shit out babies.

That takes little intelligence and planning and it often happens under the worse of conditions.

People are NOT adapting.

SOME people are surviving, and some are dying.

Don't just look at the handful of people in the United States with enough time disposable income to riot over ball games and shit.

....which I find very curious.

Look at Gaza.

Look at the recent Earthquake in Venezuela.

A FEW are surviving, but many more are dying.

Again, don't just point at the handful of survivors and use THEM as an example of how humans are "adapting" to shitty conditions.

Look at how the MAJORITY are not adapting, and use them as a lesson on how things will need to change.

Troy

Lol, when do you think I was born....in the 1500s?????

Some would argue that nursing was actually better back in the 60s and 70s than it is today because the nurse had to have bedside manner and things were more hands-on.

Today, most nurses just prescribe pills and ask a bunch of questions and have the nursing assistants (often from foreign countries) do they hands-on things they USED to do.

You mean "Breck Hampton"....lol.

You are starting to act like ProfD now....lol....censoring your own words.

I'm not a computer programmer so I'm not sure what the solution is.
Perhaps Black people need to start building their own computers and software in mass, like the Asians.
If not, we'll constantly be at the mercy of devious White folks who can enter our spaces whenever they like; and you end up having to rely on "good" White folks to protect you from them.

@ProfD considering 100 years ago the population was 2 Billion the next 100 years is a pretty dramatic reversal. When we were younger governments were concerned about over population -- that is no longer a concern indeed many nations including the US are concerned about decreasing population.

LOL! you know what I mean medicine has come a LONG (improved) in the past 60 years. How any people do you know who are have been crippled from polio or died from whooping cough?

The world population increasing 4 times in 100 years is explosive.

Some people especially among the global elite believe the world is over-populated & that it should be decreased.

That could be a part of the reason there is no cure for certain diseases & pandemics are being tested & all types of sh8t happening to slow down birthrates.

There is enough room on the planet for several billion more people. Human greed won't allow it.😎
