There is a problem we have here at HMaM with the login box disappearing and making it impossible to login from the main page or the login page. It has something to do with bad coding. I have scanned the coding looking for the problem but could not find it as there are literally pages and pages of coding. I don't want to randomly delete things either as it could cause even more problems. I may have partially resolved the problem by discovering that going to the pm url when you're not logged in ( hmam.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=pm) seems to give you a login box that will not disappear. Keep in mind, this url will only work if you are NOT logged in, because if you ARE it will simply take you to your pm inbox. I have added a large text LOGIN link in the news fader just below the chat box that uses this url and should work when you're not logged in and need to be. This works for me, but please confirm that it works for you guys as well. Wish I could do more but hopefully this is at least a partial fix. Let me know. Thanks, CT

Best thing to do once you guys log in is remain logged in.

Best thing to do once you guys log in is remain logged in. Yes, that comes in handy but it's sometimes necessary to login like if you have a new computer or new cell phone you want to access the site from.

I cannot stress enough to follow Matt's advice. It's been so long I've forgotten but there should be a button that says 'Remember me?' or there should be a drop-box that contains how long you want to remain logged in and one option is 'Forever.' Those are the two most common options I've seen around on these types of situations, and using that should fix the majority of the problems. I do that, and I never have problems logging in. I just click the bookmark in my computer and it takes me here where I'm logged in, ready to start posting. No worries, no hassles, no problems.

I had to re create my account, but that could be because I was gone for so long.

Well I think I just found a small piece of code in the global footer that was causing the problem. I deleted it and the normal login seems to be back. Apparently that same code was causing avatars to not show up sometimes. It was also keeping individual forum banners (like the horror in general banner for instance) to not show up. Those things seem to be back now too.
Now I just wish I knew why people's signature banners don't seem to be showing up a lot of the time...

Ok, I fixed that problem as well thanks to the proboards support board. Everyone's signatures are back (your last post per page to minimize loading time).

That's so cool, CT. I noticed I had that problem as well, with the banners and such, but not being a tech-guy, didn't know what to do. Again, much appreciation and thanks.
