#36 login semi-recognition and lack of subcategories
Closed: Wontfix 4 years ago by codeblock. Opened 4 years ago by nicklevinson.

I tried to log in at ask.fedoraproject.org and the website evidently recognizes me (it knows my email address and legal name and does not reject my password), it refuses to let me in, I tried in different weeks lately with the same effect, I assume you don't want me to create a second account, and I've posted this year.

When I visited the page for English discussions each time (while not logged in), it said to post directly into a subcategory, but, at least without a login in effect, it seems to have no subcategories.

What should I do next to log in and to find subcategories when I do log in? If we can't deal with both, at least please tell me what to do about the login process.


Can you expand on "it refuses to let me in" ? You go to ask.fedoraproject.org, click on 'sign in' and... it goes to a blank page? it goes back to the non logged in page? It prints an error?

Can you also try using a private tab or window and see if it works there?

I'm going to close this to bump it out of the queue because it's not a websites bug.

If you're having issues with ask.fedoraproject.org, please contact the administrators of that service, all of whom can be found here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/about

No; I was not trying to create an account. I was trying to log in, as stated above. But it gave me the login form already filled in and I submitted it, but the form came back prefilled as before, so I'd resubmit and the cycle would repeat. I wouldn't be able to get logged in. I don't understand how it got and displayed my information like my email address if it doesn't log me in. I have now emailed a manager at ask.fedoraproject.org but I'm adding this information here so you have essentially the same information. I'm attaching an image combining screenshots.

I missed the subcats (your layout is not like most others). My fault that I didn't hack enough.
