I usually stay logged in all the time on all the devices I own, but I just got a brand new iPod (5th generation) and I can't log in on it. When I type in my username it always says "that username does not exist". Is there a way to fix this?

Are you talking an iPod Touch? Does it look like one of these? http://www.apple.com/ca/ipod-touch/ It has to be one, no other iPod has Wi-Fi.
Make sure it's updated to the latest iOS (the internal software that drives it). Usually iTunes will check every week for a update, make sure it's plugged in and synced and iTunes should prompt you to update if it requires it.

The banner on the top of the page above the toolbar (Home|CW.com|Shop|THKF|Help|FAQ|Search|Profile|My Messages|Calendar|Members|Chat|Logout) can obscure some of the login area on a smaller screen (such as on a iPhone), so you'll have to type your username blind. Sad

Yes, it looks just like that. And it's all updated and everything because its brand new and I just got it a little less than a week ago. I can get to the login area just fine to type in my username, but when I do that it says my username does not exist!! Very annoying.

Your username and your display name are two different things withing the forum. Your username is what you use to login, not the display name. That way your login always remains consistent even if your name doesn't. I have no idea why it is programmed that way. *shrugs* Sorry for the confusion.

There is a login form at the bottom of the forum if you ever have that problem again.

No problem, at least I know now. Smiley
