Introduction and question
I've been reading and collecting Science Fiction since 1970, though I was still pretty green then. Have been using ISFDB since 2006 and have wanted to contribute data, though hard to make time. Logged on with user name 22:39, 8 July 2010. Now at long last attempt to make edit, guess what, can log on to isfdb.org/wiki, but NOT isfdb itself. Go round and round trying to find answers. No help. User interface. Thanks.

 * The usual gotcha is Capitalisation. You need it to be absolutely the same as on the wiki, i.e. "Lindzay" not "lindzay" or "LINDZAY'. If that's not the problem, can you tell us exactly what the error message is when you login? BLongley 18:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I saw your message elsewhere on the Wiki: "Please help. Username: lindzay Login failed: Bad user name (WHY?)" and from that information it is indeed down to the initial capital. I've suggested some ways around it via email, which I hope you've received now - but if not, the basic problem is that Firefox is auto-correcting the initial capital letter for you and it mustn't. You can probably get in via a different browser that hasn't auto-saved your Login details, but I wouldn't want to encourage anyone to go back to Internet Exploder or suchlike so I'd prefer that you get in with your preference.
