My3cents - Will Not Send Password

Complaint
Review by Consumer on 2012-04-23
Rating: StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty Star
INTERNET -- Several months ago I joined MY3CENTS and was suppose to get a password verification e-mailed to me. It never came. When I try to get a new account it says that my e-mail already has an account and it asks if I would like the password e-mailed to me. Of course I say yes but the e-mail never comes. I have tried at least 5 different times but never receive the promised e-mail. I also check my spam folder but nothing there either. There is a problem somewhere and I don't think it is on my end. What's up guys?

Did you add M3C to your contact list? I had to do that when I opened my facebook account, and also with one of my son's teachers. It doesn't show up in the Spam account because it is not seen as normal spam for some reason. It just does not get delivered. It goes back to sender with a failure to deliver note. (You know the ones you get when someone hacked your email.) As most sites like this use a computer program to send those out, then nobody would see it.

I just added it but it may be too late. I'll wait a week and if no contact is made I will try again. Thanks

I've had the same issue. It's been about three months now and I still have recieved my password help. I've clicked the 'forgot password' several different times on different days, and nothing...I Emailed them and sent an IM and still never got the password help to sign on. I pretty much gave up.

The site had issues several months ago Consumer, and the crux of your complaint is one of them. This post should bring attention and hopefully resolution to it.

Another option might be to get another free email account from Hotmail or someone and try to establish a new account all over? Never know, might work.

I just sent a message to Susan at admin on your behalf,,,lotsa luck...

Now that I think about it...BigAl had the same problem...I sent addy an IM for BigAl and NoHandle brought it to their attention...About two days ago, Addy said they would look into it.

old timer > I never got my original e-mail when I first signed up so I cannot participate in anything on this site except I can post comments. Apparently there is a whole other side to this site that I am not privvy to.

Thanks Lexo...I didn't know this was another issue from that crash.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-23:
Ahhhhhhh...just wait until you become privvy...I think you'll enjoy it around here.
Posted by lexophiliac on 2012-04-23:
De nada.
Posted by Churro on 2012-04-23:
Give it another try. It seems to be working. Make sure you add admin@my3cents.com to your contact list before requesting your password.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-23:
Churro...we get the message that the request was sent, but...we never get the password in our Email.
Posted by Churro on 2012-04-23:
Basher, is admin@my3cents.com in your contact list? When is the last time you requested your password? Are you sure you're entering the correct email address associated with your account? At some time within the last year or so did you change emails for your account and perhaps after the crash the system is remembering your previous email?
Posted by consumer on 2012-04-23:
I just tried again. Let's see what happens. BTW consumer=BigAl
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-23:
Of course Addy is in my contact list, I'mma gonna marry Max!...Last time I requested my password was about a week ago. Yes, the email address is entered correctly, it's the same one I've had pretty much since I've been here....no, I haven't changed my email address. I believe my password was changed when addy recommended we changed it after the crash. But, here's the problem...as you can see, I AM signed on and posting...my User ID and password is saved on my account, so I don't have to even type anything in to get signed on. BUT this is on IE...the problem is, I can't get signed onto M3C through FoxFire, because THAT password is saved on the account and I can see from the little 'dots' that the password is not the same on FoxFire as it is on here...so, obviously, when I changed my password after the crash on IE, I didn't change it on FoxFire. And...well...I don't know what my current password is, so I can't change it on FoxFire.

Eh, hate to repeat myself but, "Give it another try. It seems to be working. Make sure you add admin@my3cents.com to your contact list before requesting your password."
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-23:
Ok...we'll see. I just sent the request...
Posted by Mrs. V on 2012-04-24:
I had the same problem, myself. I used the 'admin@my3cents.com' and they did answer fairly quickly. You might wish to try again. Good luck!
Posted by maybe on 2012-04-24:
maybe they didn't want you to have the password fixed?

what happens in that case?
Posted by Cwazychicken on 2012-04-24:
When i lost my password i had to find it in my junk folder. It did not send to my regular folder even though i marked it safe. So check all your folders.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-24:
I always check my spam folder before I delete everything from it. I very rarely get any spam to my M3C email address because M3C is the only thing I use it for.
Posted by Churro on 2012-04-24:
Ya know Admin this one really deserves an answer even if that answer is "I don't know".
Posted by Slimjim on 2012-04-24:
I'm kinda puzzled how this review could even be posted without being registered first.

M3C Magic!

I had this issue for months, with my roadrunner addres

I emailed addy from my roadrunner address and asked that they change my email to my yahoo address and send a password link

it was done within hours
Posted by BigAl on 2012-04-24:
Still no reponse in my e-mail. At least I tried.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-24:
Me either BigAl...I think I'mma gonna go on strike!!!
Posted by jktshff1 on 2012-04-24:
Ya know, if you write it down ya don't have these problems:)
Posted by BigAl on 2012-04-24:
JKTSHIFF1> Not in my case. They will not valididate my account from the get go.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-24:
JKT, I have a little booklet with all of my passwords in it...the password from here was my old one, I didn't mark it down because it is saved on this computer...but, it wasn't changed on the FoxFire side. I'm tempted to sign completely out without saving the password on IE and see if it will work, then I'll know the password on FF...I'm sure I know my password, it's just not working on FF...but then, I'm afraid, if I don't get it right on IE, ya'll may never hear from me again....oh well....I think I'mma gonna try it....*Holding my breath*
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-24:
Churro...don't laugh at me!
Posted by Churro on 2012-04-25:
LOL

You can always create a new account. Might I suggest, Churros-X
Posted by madconsumer on 2012-04-25:
since when are they sending you a password? is admin starting to verifying new user's?
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-25:
HaHa....I fooled you...AGAIN!!!
That's what happens when you keep breaking up with The Basher!!!
Posted by Churro on 2012-04-25:
You're such a brat. I miss that about you. Wanna slide on over to the Sonic (America's Drive-In) for a slurpee and talk about old times.
Posted by trmn8r on 2012-04-25:
Basher, rest assured that whatever happens in this crazy mixed up world of ours, that I'm always "there" for you...
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-25:
Thank you 8er...Churro can sure use some 'manly' lessons from you.

Churro, we have a Sonic that opened up here about three years ago....I always wanted a Sonic around here...and ya know what? Now that we have one, I've never been there.

Like my Mom always said, "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
Posted by trmn8r on 2012-04-25:
I always wanted to try Sonic, Basher. They built one here about 3 years ago also. I went once about 3 months after opening, and the food and service were horrible.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2012-04-25:
My Nieces were excited when they opened, but said the same thing 8er, they didn't care much for it.
