Has anyone been expreriencing logging in problems with http://16mmfilmtalk.com/ ?

somedays its pretty smooth going but occasionally,
i can't seem to enter the site at all.

Hi Louis,

Never had any problems myself, though I would say that I have found the site to be very slow; ie. once you have "clicked" on any aspect, it takes a long time to react.

Similarly with the Filmshooting Forum site. They both seem to have a very similar, if not identical format and set-up.

This Forum site, however, I have found to be extremely quick to react to commands.

This probably doesn't help you - just my experience.

i've not been able to log on to the website for a week now.
and i give up trying to figure the problem.

Only this particular site is having this problem. its nuts. =|

would someone be as kind as to post this issue for me on the forum?
i keep ending up on 'error pages' instead of the usual 'logging in' page

thank YOU so much.

Hi Louis,

I have copied all these posts and put them on the 16mm Forum for you.

Good luck,

Ask Mr. Li what browser and OS he is using. If he is using Safari on the Mac he should consider using FireFox. Also, have him change his caching preferences to ALWAYS check for a new page (instead of "Automatic" or any other setting). See if that clears it up.

Oh, one more thing (and I don't understand why this happens, but I've seen it myself with MSIE on Winblows XP) - if he is using the "www.16mmfilmtalk.com" url in his browser, have him drop the "www." and just go to "http://16mmfilmtalk.com". I recall having some login problems a while ago that were intermittent, and changing the url cleared them up (for reasons I don't fully understand).
