I am using the IPB2.20 Default skin Donna. I use AOL.

I have the same version and run AOL also and have not been able to use the forum for several months. Tonight, after trying for about half an hour, I managed to get the "forgotton password" menu to open and got a new password. I was then able to finaly log on.
I am wondering if this might have something to do with a password conflict when the forum was changed to Invision. I had the same problem with another invision Forum and it was solved by resetting my password.
The problem with this forum was that every time I clicked on the "Forgotten password" box, I got the "You don't have permission" page. I tried for months and finaly managed to get it to work tonight.
Now before some of you start inferring that I just forgot my password, I use one password for everything (I know you're not supposed to do that but when you're as old as I am, it's just simpler) and it's something I use several times every day. Also, strangely, every once in a while when I click on the FGRV icon on my desktop,
it would work and I would be quickly logged in. I hope that the new password wil solve the problem and I suggest anyone else with the problem try the same thing.
I will let you know if the problem returns, but I guess I won't be able to do that if I can't log in will I?
Merry Christmas to all,
