Forgot Your Log-in Name or Password?
You can request a password be emailed to you by entering your email on this page:
http://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=login&lostpw=1
Be sure to check your spam or bulk email folder, as the email may end up in there. Note: The email you enter must be the one you used when you first registered for the site. If you have a new email account and you never updated your profile, you'll need extra help. Send an email to mitch@ctfisherman.com.
Log-in Name vs. Displayed Name
Your log-in name could be different than your publicly displayed name. Be sure you are entering your log-in name.
Check Your Typing
If you're including a space where it doesn't belong, or omitting a space, your log-in or password will not work. Both your log-in and password are case sensitive. Be sure to double-check your typing. Almost all log-in problems are due to typing in your log-in or password incorrectly.
Remember Me
If you'd like your computer to remember you, so you don't always have to type in your log-in and password, there's check box below the log-in and password fields called "Remember me on each visit"
Clear Your Browser Cookies (Helpful if you can't log-in or log-out.)
