I am the website administrator for The Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network. I built their website, which included MYBB forum. However, ever
since I got the forum up and running, I have encountered persistent problems with logging in.
Despite the fact that I am the one who installed this forum, and I am the only admin, the forum NEVER recognizes me. It's as if I never submitted or set up log-in credentials. Everytime I attempt to log in I get a message that I have exceeded the number of log-in attempts and need to wait 15 minutes... Which is time-consuming and aggravating for someone who works online.
I have to go through the whole process of resetting my password, and even then, I cannot log-in to the forum. And I really need to access it, because I have people spamming the forum, and I need to get in there so I can delete these spam messages. The organization who I built the site for, feel I'm incompetent because I don't know what to do to control the spamming... but I JUST CAN'T LOG IN.
I was trying to use the "Official" MYBB Support Forums to get help, and I did read the information posted there, and followed those instructions to the letter, but their suggestion did not help me.
I am NOT a coder but have a lot of experience with working with php scripts, so I am very baffled by this problem. I hope there is somebody within these forums who can assist me once and for all.
