Testmy login issue
Testmy.net doesn't recognize my login. I use my login credentials and get no errors. I'm taken to the site, but the site does not show me as being logged in. When I run a test it runs it as though ...

Ah. I looked for that specifically, but didnt see it. On testmy's forum?
It's a pain, as it's nice to be able to compare my speeds with other Hughesnet users. I hope they fix it, wherever the problem lies.
No answer on the post regarding the sign in on testmy yet, I see. Perhaps CA3LE finally decided to take a nap. LOL.
I can see my post; it's the last answer (at least right now) under your "No longer detecting my provider?" post. It says it's been posted (was in moderation for a bit).
I see CA3LE tried a fix for the login issue but it didn't work.
Ah, okay. I see your post on the missing provider thread on testmy.net. :)
Even though the login issue isn't fixed yet on testmy.net, I think it's funny that, whatever CA3LE did, it's now signing into the forums instead of defaulting to the home page. At least for me, it is. Is it doing this for you, too? Does it take you to the forums instead of the home page when you click on Sign In after entering your credentials?
" Is it doing this for you, too? Does it take you to the forums instead of the home page when you click on Sign In after entering your credentials? "
Nope, for me it's defaulting to the home page. How weird, though, that it's taking you to the forums directly. I hope this gets fixed, though as you may have seen, someone else posted and said s/he wasn't having a problem at all.
I see now that that it's taking me to the home page, so that part, at least, is back to normal. The log in issue still exists, though.
It's possible that this issue is tied to us having Hughesnet. Throughout the years with Hughesnet I've seen sites do weird things, including with log ins, that didn't happen when using an alternate ISP (namely dialup, when I would compare).
Even the Microsoft Update problem I was having last year, where, even though I had ample speed, the updates took FOREVER. I tried McDonald's WiFi and the updates were very quick on the same notebook, even though the overall download speed was about a quarter of Hughesnet's.
I had issues with my old Paltalk account a couple of years back, too. I could sign in, but it wouldn't allow me to alter any settings, whereas when I signed in with dialup using my folks' AOL credentials I was able to change the settings without any issue.
So, it's possible that it's connected to us having Hughesnet. But, what's changed to make it do what it's now doing is anyone's guess.
