HELP for Comic Genesis Signups

[Sly Eagle]

After reading through all of this, I'm figuring it may take 48 hours to get the confirmation e-mail. So, if up to 48 hours is normal, why does the thing after you sign-up say that if you haven't recieved the e-mail within 1 hour that your e-mail account is no good? And why can't you check which e-mail you used (say, if I managed to mistype it twice) in the comic status, so you can just delete your application if you made a mistake, saving everyone time and trouble?

...just thinking that all this confusion I'm suffering might be avoidable.

Okay, lost once again. I got my password, I've verified it, I'm logging in. I get the 'logging in, if it load in 5 seconds click here' screen. Then it says "This page requires authentication, please goto the Login page". I go to the log-in page, log in, it does the same thing. I'm trapped in a spiral. What's up?

Greetings.

I'm having the same problem as bewareofkow and strangeharvard are. I get trapped in the same login loop. The "cookie write test" gives me a 404 error, but the form does work (I entered the wrong password once).

I've tried to log in using both my original password and the new one that I created on both Firefox and IE, as well as getting a friend to check using his computer. I've also dumped my cookies, cache, history, and saved form information, with no change.

Thank you in advance for your help.

It seems I dont have the right password when trying ot log in. I tried to click the "lost password" section on the front page but it gives me a page with "404 error" on the top.

I know the signup site said it would take about an hour for me to receive my confirmation email, but it's been like an hour and a half and nothing. Should I be woried, or is this a common thing?

[Rianeva]

Give it at least a day.

Sugarneko and Jamal: There's a bit of a bug in the siteadmin login. To get to the new siteadmin, you need to sign in on the forums first, then log into Siteadmin in the same window.

Sugarneko: What url are you using? This one? http://siteadmin.comicgenesis.com:8080/ ... ssword.cgi Try it in a different browser if it doesn't work.

Ratheri: The signup site should actually probably say to wait a day. That's about how long it took mine to get there. I don't know if it's whether I signed up with hotmail, or just the fact that it was a slow day.

So don't sweat it. There's a lot of waiting involved in your first couple weeks here. Instead of stressing out about it, try to kick back, go with the flow, and work up a nice big buffer. You'll be glad you did later.

Hi. Me again.

Thanks to Black Sparrow I'm able to access siteadmin. However, I still can't access ftp. It says my login information is invalid, even though I've tried all 3 (original password, new password I made, and forum login). Any ideas?

Again, thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

[N Dread]

in the signup form, im trying to put 'N Dread' as my user name, but i keep getting this message:


'Username can not begin with numbers and must at least be two characters with no symbols other than -

1 errors detected'


it is starting with a bloody letter!

[Mercury Hat]

Your username is going to be part of your URL. You can't have a space in it.

[Nicotine]

I signed up for an account very early this morning but I haven't gotten an e-mail yet. I checked the status of it and it says the e-mail's been sent. Do I just wait a little longer?

[Black Sparrow]

24 hours has become the standard waiting period. That's about how long mine took.

A few days ago, there were problems with all of CG. Have you tried again recently?

Make sure your forum log-in is active. Then, go to http://siteadmin.comicgenesis.com and add your comic to your profile. Does that work?

[ConsoleSmasher]

Thanks Oualawouzou, I can actually upload a comic now.

However, the main page won't display the comic unless you click "previous comic", and I still can't seem to ftp in so that I can edit the html and make the site look less generic.

I'm getting closer though! Thanks in advance.

[Evilgamer]

it's been 8 days and I haven't gotten the email yet please help

[Cope]

From the first page of this thread:

6. If you do not get a response within 2 weeks, the signup will be deleted, and you should use a different email address, as this means that your ISP has rejected the e-mail.

[Munchy]

i need a run through, i don't understand it keeps saying i got the wrong phone....... thing??

[Black Sparrow]

Don't forget the little prefix code. If you're in the U.S. or Canada, you have to put a 1 in the first box under "phone number", else it won't go through. There's a list of other countries' somwhere...
