FAO LOF subcribers - is it acting funny

[tombrown]

Just tried to login (on the latest URL) and getting a message that my password & username don't match (worked OK a week ago); then the option to reset my password has a completely unreadable user check graphic & no option to refresh it :-

Can anyone see a set of characters in that or is it just me?

Try a different browser? Sometimes captcha boxes appear strange in some browsers.

 

[tombrown]

You trying to lure me away from IE? 🙂

 

[FoxForceFive]

You use IE?

Wow. Is it 1990 again?

 

[tombrown]

You open source guys are reminiscent of Nick O'Tine ... "one puff on this Firefox and he is in my grasp", ... 🙂

 

[doctor_mac]

Honestly, using an efficient web browser isn't akin to developing a chronic addiction. You might like the internet more than you did though.

I'll change my browser when Liverpool win the league again ... so next May 🙂

Seriously though - thanks for the advice. I'll try it out when I am back on the PC

Firefox and Chrome are way, way better.
Tom, change it. Change it now!
I build websites and it's always a fecking pain to keep IE compatibility.

I thought he was joking when he said he uses IE.

 

[tombrown]

I just use what comes with the build IT give me

 

[tombrown]

OK - just tried Chrome and the image looks the same. Maybe it's just my old eyes ....

Anyway, my password should be fine.

Anyone out there has a subscription could try logging it & let me know if this is unique to me

 

[tombrown]

Maybe LOF logged the fact that I use IE and have blacklisted me as a result.

Its part of the open source mafia's campaign

If I post to a Linux mailing list will I be absolved?

Edit - downloaded & installed firefox (Bless me, Bill, for I have sinned), still same image

Just logged in no probs and straight to stream, you are going through news-source right?

ahh right... silly me.. :/

 

[tombrown]

actually the url I have is hd-streaming, but I am pretty sure that is where news0soucre redirects you to login. I normally use my home PC but am travelling so just copied down the bookmark before I left. I'll leave it now & sort it when I get home

Has anyone shared their password? Will they ban you? Two of us in separate places want to watch the chelsea game later and wondering will they suspend our service?

Are they taking new subscribers btw? Id have no problem paying for two accounts.

 

[FoxForceFive]

They're not taking new subscribers but if you try to make a new account on news source it gives you the address for their other site.

 

[ILD]

Thanks Jon. Is the sister site working okay does any one know?

 

[Mors]

Sister site working fine for me really. Couple of blips with both the spurs and arse games, but nothing serious.

 

[ILD]

Thanks.

 

[tombrown]

Got home & checked it out. In the end I dsocvered that if I went to the login URL I got the login failure, whereas if I went to the channels URL (that is set as a bookmark on my home PC) and it redirects you to the login screen, then I can login OK. Weird, but successful

And it is exactly the same on IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari...

 

[ILD]

LOF streamed perfectly for me over the weekend bar the odd blip. Hopefully it works fine for our game tonight.

I have a subscription with the sister site. At first it worked but now when I log on in either Chrome or IE it does not bring me to the right site. So I started using the Android app instead but now it won't play the videos too. What gives?

 

[Buddha]

Logged in, renewed subscription but unable to stream anything. Aaaaaaagh

 

[Fallon]

Fine for me. Tried a different browser? Or Xbmc with addon?

 

[Buddha]

Thanks for the reply but you've completely lost me there!

 

[Fallon]

Well if you're using Chrome, try firefox (or vice-versa), and if not there are a couple of 3rd party apps which you can stream it through, the most popular of which is xbmc. Try an alternate browser, if no joy then check the faq on the site and it'll tell you how to load xbmc (only 5 min job).
