I am unable to login [via www.nationstates.net] on two of my nations, I did not try the third one, however 9/10 times I normally use the On-Screen Keyboard so I figured it might be a bug and not someone using my password (IE: Me being keylogged).
I logged in earlier fine and that was about 5:30 - 6:30 PM EST, or so, but anyway I logged in fine and have not tried logging in since. I remember this happening before when different people reported it, however I did not see anyone saying anything on here, so I figured I might as well ask. If I was keylogged and my accounts were taking / e-mails were changed then I know (from reading the FAQ) there's nothing you will do.
Hope you can help,
Kimojuno.

A) This really should be a Getting Help request.
B) We find it considerably more helpful when people tell us the name of the nations that are having trouble.
C) I have no idea what being keylogged via on-screen keyboard has to do with you being unable to login. Is this paranoia or experience?
D) "I know (from reading the FAQ) there's nothing you will do." Huh?
Try to put this into a coherent GHR that concentrates on the facts at hand, and not speculation on what it might be. Thanks. You might also try the 'lost password' link from the login screen. Useful tool.

Okay apparently I misclicked it by mistake and I apoligize for even making this thread, I am only replying here because I made an error and no longer need help, however if I should of done a GHR (to say I made a mistake) instead I'm sorry, but this seemed logical since I do not require help.
I would like to explain what I mean though, for C) I meant I use the On-Screen keyboard so it was highly unlikely I was keylogged (which was true and I just made an error). I use the OSK because it's safer since I've been keylogged before and simply like to be a little parinoid to prevent it from happening again. And for D:
Someone has taken control of my nation!
It is against the rules to hijack someone else's nation, and if we see someone do it, we'll ban them. If we don't see it happen, though, and someone changes your password and e-mail address, I'm afraid you're on your own. As far as the game is concerned, your government has been overthrown in a coup.
To prevent people accessing your nation, turn off auto-login if you use a public computer. You should also choose a password that is not easily guessable.
Historical note: before version 1.5, posting a hyperlink with a PIN code in it could allow someone to log in as your nation. This is no longer the case.
After reading this a couple times, I'm guessing it means if I don't report it then you can't do anything, however I was reading this part:
and someone changes your password and e-mail address, I'm afraid you're on your own.
I read that and was thinking this was stating that if the e-mail address was changed then you would not help at all, I suppose I simply misread but that was how I interupted it. Again I am only replying here because I no longer need help, since I decided to try again to see if I made an error, however I realize now I should of waited 45 minutes (I believe that's the waiting period) and tried again before using the GHP (Getting Help Page).
