[edit] Log in problems

If you have log in problems then either read the common problems listed below but if these do not fix your problems please head over and log into the Z-Cult FM Forum's Help section and post your problems.

Common Problems

If you appear to be able to log in, but as soon as you try to look at a page after the 'Log in successful' page you appear logged out again, it is very likely to be a cookie problem. If you are certain that cookies are enabled, make sure that you haven't inadvertently listed the domain name of the wiki you are using (example: zcultfm.com) on a list of sites to never allow cookies for (This feature is available in - at least - Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and above and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and above). Also make sure your computer's date and time are set correctly; if they are not, cookies may expire before they are supposed to.

If you log in and enabled the cookie feature, a subsequent log in as a different user without the cookie feature enabled will appear as logged out.

Another common issue that could come up is: If you are unable to login to the Ziki but know your username and password are correct then please read below.

When logging into the Ziki please enter your username with the first letter in uppercase. So if your username is: serj enter it as Serj in the login box.

If your username contains characters like * [ ] = etc then you will not be able to log into the ziki. This is because the main Z-Cult FM site and Ziki use different username pref's. If you have an illegal character in your username and wish to use the ziki you will need to contact Serj to get your username changed to removed these illegal characters. Please contact Serj here or on the forum via PM or help section.

[edit] What if I forget the password?

If you misplace your password then you may request another one from the following url: http://zcultfm.com/~comic/profile.php?mode=sendpassword

Enter your username and e-mail address in the above url page and your password will be emailed to you. If you have an invalid e-mail under your profile then you will need to contact Serj via the IRC Chat Room OR email at: report@zcultfm.com

[edit] How to log out?

You can log out any time by clicking on the Log out link at the top left of the page.
