Zed Posted August 25, 2013 Well, I remember that I changed some option in my user profile so I'm always logged in (I think this requires cookies). But then again, I never commented on idgames but I decided to give it a try. Below the empty box where you write your comment, it says Commenting as: Zed. So I typed it, submitted it, and voilá! Now, I'm far from being an expert, but maybe you have your cookies turned off? Does your username appears next to "Commenting as:"? I hope that helps. 0 Share this post Link to post

This has never been a problem until now. My username appears as "Commenting as: Anonymous." I have no problem viewing the /newstuff Review Center. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted August 25, 2013 I don't know what could be wrong. Maybe a browser setting? I guess you will have to wait for someone more experienced than me (i.e. almost everyone in here). Good luck. By the way, if idgames is not a part of Doomworld, why is my account working there? 0 Share this post Link to post
The Green Herring Posted August 25, 2013 Because what you two are talking about is the idgames/ HTML frontend, not idgames/ itself. Doomworld doesn't run idgames/ itself, but it does run the frontend on which you can make comments. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted August 26, 2013 That makes sense. So, just to be clear, Canofbacon was trying to comment on the actual idgames site, and I did it in Doomworld's frontend? 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted August 26, 2013 No. The idgames archive is an FTP site. It's just a collection of files. It's not even a website. http://doomworld.com/idgames/ is Doomworld's web frontend to the idgames archive. It scrapes the contents of idgames, puts up a page with info on every file, and provides the ability to leave reviews. The two are separate. When you upload a file, you're uploading to the former. So Doomworld has no control over submissions or what gets accepted or rejected. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks a lot for the explanation. By the way, I'm aware that I hijacked the topic (unintentionally, of course) and the OP's question hasn't been answered yet (I think?). I promise it won't happen again. Have a nice day. 0 Share this post Link to post

Check that you haven't done something innocuous, like omit "www." from the URL when visiting the database. That's all it takes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Canofbacon Posted August 26, 2013 Okay guys I have done absolutely nothing different and somehow I can comment as Canofbacon. Thank you to whoever is looking out for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
