I was locked out for over three weeks. I cleared my browser cache and cookies and my saved IF password went kaput in the process. I could no longer remember my old password. I could not reset it either, since I have not used my yahoo account, that I used when I first registered for IF, for eternity.
Had Genie contact mods to help me get back in as Return_to_hades. None of the mods in Bollywood forum responded. Then she contacted Souro. He did respond right away and said he'd email me. No email for a week.
Finally, I gave up and created a new ID. I am sure Souro is trying. It usually takes a global mod to reset passwords. Maybe IF is severely short-staffed.
Now the conundrum - go back to using RTH if and when they finally get me back in. Or just use this as my new life (I guess I will be limited for daily posts).
