Well, it looks as though I have finally got a workaround for this problem. I've tried everything I could think of - obviously using what I thought was my password, requesting a password reset on countless occasions, posting here, using the Contact Us option, using e-mail address to sign in instead of user ID, using an old e-mail address as I changed it a few months ago, using the sign-in with Facebook button (got a Facebook authentication error), PM'ing Dave, SH PM'ing Dave, exporting cookies from an old PC where I stayed logged in and re-importing here and probably some other stuff as well that I've forgotten.
Eventually dug out another old PC where I was also logged in without entering a password. Couldn't find a way to export cookies from Microsoft Edge, but took the Edge option to open the page in IE and exported from there. That creates a txt file (the only option) which I can't import in to Edge on my new PC as it will only process html files. Again, took the option from Edge to open page in IE and imported my txt cookies file from there. So, it now seems as long as I use IE on my new PC I'm sorted.
I have to say the complete lack of help from the admin's on this site is very disappointing. I'm still not really sorted, I don't know what my password is and I'm bound to run in to this problem again at some point. I came over here from BITE as I was so fed up with the lack of any admin/approvals there, but it seems like this site has gone the same way. Perhaps I ought to just stick to Trip Advisor where I already review hotels and restaurants.
I'm disappointed as well, but unfortunately I and the other people with (very limited) admin roles were not in a position to help due to the (very limited) nature of the access we have. As mentioned before, the only way I and the other Seven Dwarfs have of contacting Snow White is by a personal message on the forum. This is clearly not a satisfactory situation.
I'm sorry you've had such a frustrating time and I'm glad that you've managed some sort of a work around.
Come On You Hatters!
I have summoned Dave by my magical powers and he should have PM'd you, Blackthorn.
Bloody favouritism, you mean.
Come On You Hatters!
