NationStates Jolt Archive

I hope I'm posting this to the right forum.

I have two nations, this one (the Archregimancy) and the recently-revived (originally active in 2003) Alasdair I Frosticus.

Most of my roleplaying is currently done as the Archregimancy, but I agreed with another player (Ariddia) to log on and do a nostalgic football/soccer thread as Alasdair I Frosticus with Ariddia.

However, my Alasdair I Frosticus jolt settings currently claim that I can't post on Jolt, only edit my existing posts (of which there are fewer than 10).

I obviously remain capable of posting as the Archregimancy.

Posts as Alasdair I Frosticus have been so infrequent since the nation was revived that I can't imagine that the latter nation has inadvertently roused the ire of the Mods, so I'm assuming this is a technical issue.

I've tried to change my Alasdair I Frosticus password just in case it was a password issue, but having re-set my password, now that I'm trying to change the password from a randomly generated one to one I'll actually remember, Jolt is telling me it doesn't recognise the new password I acquired from Jolt itself.

Any suggestions?

Are you logging on to your nation and clicking the Forums link, or are you trying to log directly into the forums? Changing your nation's password does not change your forum logon password. Try the nation logon - it's better for situations like this.

Next time, don't try to do email verification and password changes all at the same time. Ask first (and this would be a Getting Help request, not a forum post) and perhaps we can resolve it before you confuse the issue further.

Apologies for inadvertently making the issue more confusing via the password issue.

I can confirm that I log on to as Alasdair I Frosticus _first_ and then try to access the forums. And I make sure I log out as the Archregimancy before logging on as the other nation.

As Alasdair I Frosticus I am permitted to edit my existing posts, just not add new posts or threads - so the system does seem to be recognising me.

Please let me know if I should at this point take this to Getting Help (as implied above).

Thanks very much for the help!

Problem obviously solved!

If this came through Frisbeeteria's direct intervention, then sincere thanks for the help.

If not, then I'm as baffled as anyone else.

I'll stop cluttering up technical now....
