www.ads-software.com Login Reset

Hm, that’s rather odd. Is https://www.ads-software.com/support/bb-login.php where you did the reset?

Yes, that’s the correct URL.

I just tried it again with no luck.

I’ve tried typing the new password manually, as well as doing a copy and paste. I still get the login failed error.

Fixed. I was the victim of this case-sensitive crap on the user ID.

As a programmer, I consider it sloppy/lazy coding to allow a user to enter something such as a user ID, force it to lower (or upper) case when stuffed into the database, and not do the exact same thing when the user logs in.

I’m convinced that todays’ programmers are so used to using libraries and canned functions, that they have forgotten about the little things.

Of course, the whole mixed case debacle started with Unix and perpetrated to this day where aa, Aa, aA, and AA are all different. This is one area where DOS and subsequently Windows gets it right.

I took over a project once where the original owner was on a Mac. They named all of the images similarly, changing only the case. You can imagine the nightmare that that became.

(I’ll get off of my soapbox now!)

Again, thanks for your help.
