Welcome to the forum Amari’ and thank you for your wonderful image... Don't tell anyone but between you and me I have it as my wallpaper on my works machine
Don't wory, your secret is safe with me 
I keep one of those automated response emails in my mailbox. If I use its link to enter TF, I have no problems. Lately, it even logs me in automatically. Have you tried that chicka? I haven't logged in any other way for ages.
If you dont get these things, I could forward one to you, if you like.

The only thing I can think of is to check your browser settings and make sure it is accepting cookies from planet-tolkien.com and probably tolkien-fan.net as well.
I hope Grondy reads this cos Chika definetely can't if she can't log in.
You can read the forum without logging in; you just can't post. 
Didn't Ungoliant have this problem too in the past, and got around it by using a different user name?
What does this mean?

Tonight I keep getting this postBody everytime I try to do anything. Is this likely to be a problem with my machine or is the site experiencing probs?Warning: Too many connections in /nfs1/tazonlin/webs/www.planet-tolkien.com/pnadodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 108

I've been seeing the same thing Val. I have no clue. I'm surprised I was even able to get in to post this.
Maybe too many trying to log on at once? I have never had this problem, but then my time zone often means I have the place to myself.
I was already logged in the first time I saw it. I was in the middle of trying to post a thread when it popped up! So I left and when I came back a couple hours later I was still logged in! I saw it again a couple more times but now, so far, it seems fine.

I don't know either. Sorry
At least it doesn't mean it's my machine then - Oh no, the sites falling apart!
As with Prog, I came back later and things seemed to be a lot better. Can the number of people logging onto this site jam up the system, Taz?

When I sent the error postBody to Taz, he returned the following:

That error postBody is where the server is getting overloaded, it should only be temporary and at max last for maybe an hour to two.

I got one of those error postBody thingys when I tried to edit a really long post. I will try to keep my posts shorter from now on. 
Dont want to break the server

Yes, she signed in as Dangermouse for a while, I think, but I think that was another problem.
Oh well, the server better watch out, cos I'm back and I tend to post a lot. Dear God it has been terribly quiet here over the past two weeks!

Welcome noro_lim_Asfaloth
Well, I have to say I have the same problems you do, which I've posted yesterday, but i'll repeat it to you again. See, when I go to the "downloads" it says sth. abouth "I'm not allowed to access". And it really goes on my nerves a bit, not to mention quizzes too.
PS. Can I call you somehow more shortened than noro_lim_Asfaloth? I mean, it's sort of long to write, so... Let me know!
PPS. Nori, perhaps?

Welcome to Planet-Tolkien noro_lim_Asfaloth. I am delighted to meet you.
I was able to access the quizzes just now so maybe the problem has been fixed. Please try again and post here if you are still having problems. I did notice that you have to be logged in as a member to access the quizzes.
Explore every nook and cranny in PT and enjoy!

The quizzes appear to be working for the council members only. Can we enable them for all members Taz?
*nod* Looking into it now.
Ok fixed, changes made:
1) Un-registered users can now view the quizzes but not run them. Also the Hall of Fame is now viewable.
2) Registred users can run the quizzes.

Thank you Taz, for fixing the quizzes. I was finally able to take them. I did really bad on Odd Man Out. I was not sure what you were asking for, until I read the answers. I felt like an idiot then. lol But is was nice not to be told that I could not access them. I thought I was the only one having problem until I found this thread. I am still learning about everything here. There is a lot of info to go through. But I will eventually get is all figured out

MelliotSandybanks: I couldn't do very well on the Odd Man Out Quiz either, had I not spent the hour typing it in. I'm not conversant with most of the names from The Silmarillion, which one would have to be, or have the book at hand, in order to get all correct answers. I did really bad on Odd Man Out.
hey I got the name of the horse from Glorfindol in the book, not the movie.
i didnt do very well on the odd man out quiz either

Welcome Nori! Great to have you around...
"The Odd man out" was the toughest quiz for me too. I didn't take the last two, cos I don't know anything about them...

Hey Tom,
Great to have you back!
The answers to the Quenya quiz can all be found in the appendices of The Silmarillion and The Return of the King. There had been such an interest in learning Elvish lately, I thought this would be fun. But then again, maybe not.

I did the odd man out very lauzy. At the first moment I haven't even understand what I have to do in that quizz. 
Anyway, my score is 2 points, looking miserable under Grondy's 10 points.
But therefor I did the Quenya quizz very well!
Hope more quizzes are about to come.

Don't feel bad, I only got those 10 points because I made the quiz and had to look up all the answers to be sure they were accurate. I probably would have only got one right had I taken the test cold. Anyway, my score is 2 points, looking miserable under Grondy's 10 points.
I'm baaack! I can log in again! yay!
As I said somewhere else, Welcome back, Chicka. Good to see you in here again.

Now I feel much better, Grondy.
Heh, I took all of them cold, and rushed through them without thinking, if you want to feel better about yourself go see the hall of shame, as I think I must rename it...
That would perhaps be a better name for it, yeah. But oh dear God those quizzes are pretty tough if even Grondy can't solve them without "cheating". 
Hi guys! Another question from me..typical
Amarie tells me that she can`t log in at all..she`s been accepted as a new member, but she hasn`t recieved her password..and when she tries to go to the "forget password-thingy" all it says is that she has already recieved it...wich she hasn`t
Hope you can help her with this problem! She`s getting kinda frustrated..:/

I've sent Taz a postBody about this one, Celebrian, incase he doesn't see your post. I don't think it's something a council member can deal with.
Could you please get her to email me at taz@planet-tolkien.com, I have the systems copy of her email address but if this is wrong (which I suspect it is) then it's probably sending her password somewhere else As soon as she emails me I will reply with her password and will try and get this sorted ASAP.
As soon as she emails me I will reply with her password and will try and get this sorted ASAP.Thanks Taz! I`ll tell her right away
Not to be rude Taz, but Amarie told me to say to you to move your a** and check your mail Think she`s about 2sec away of smashing her computer..
Think she`s about 2sec away of smashing her computer.. Don't let her do that Celebrain. She will regret it later.
Geesh that's not very nice, you would think that I do nothing else around here!??!?
