I'm trying to enter SYW, but the forum is not accepting my password, nor is any of the others working. I can enter flash because I made my computer remember that one. What's up?

Maybe you've either forgotten your password, or are for some reason typing it wrong. If all else fails, I'd have the site send you a "password reminder." Most sites that require a password have this function.

If ALL else fails, the reminder should provide a link to change your password as well.

However, if all the sites are not accepting what you type, the problem may be either in your internet settings, or worse yet an actual hardware problem with your keyboard.

Oh, and as with any tech problem, specific details would be helpful. Are you getting a particular error message, or is your password just not being accepted? Can you type it in at all, or won't your computer/internet browser let you do that? etc...

Okay, a few suggestions:

1. Check to make sure your Caps Lock is OFF. All letters of the password should be lower case.

2. If you're on a PC, check the following to make certain you didn't accidentally prohibit cookies from parts of the board:

Control Panel > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites
type: http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums into the bar and select "Allow." Click "Okay" and then "Okay" again when the popup closes.

If none of these work, write back and we'll come up with something else. :)

The SYW password is "vista"

Is that the one you are using?

When you try to type in the box, does it let you type?
