I've just tested and the forum's able to send email and I've received the test -- the trouble is a lot of email providers tend to block forum notifications by default. If you've got the option of whitelisting tfarchive AT gmail DOT com it's worth a try, but I'm not sure Cox would give the option.
Anyway, I've just set a new password and emailed it to the address in your profile. Try that.

I've just had a bounce from cox.net saying that the mailbox doesn't exist, which would explain why nothing was getting through. Did you change the email address at all?
Re: If you're having problems logging in, post in here and we'll try to help you
Same e-mail address. The auto password reset e-mails came through OK. They just didn't work. It's cox.net, not cox.com. I've had that mistake before.
Also, is "Tantrum" currently logged in, and is that the problem? I don't remember logging out, or clearing cookies, so the stay logged in option should still be active.

I partially figured out what's wrong. The e-mail I was using to receive my password resets was associated with another account I had, Isaac Hill. So, I was trying to login with Tantrum's name and Isaac Hill's reset password, which obviously wouldn't work.
So, I tried logging in as Isaac Hill with the reset password. It still didn't work.
Also, I tried the only other non-work e-mail address I have to see if I'd get a password for Tantrum, and no e-mail.

Does the email that actually works have a '2' right before the @? Looking at your two accounts, the emails on file are the same except for the 2.
Re: If you're having problems logging in, post in here and we'll try to help you
I use the e-mail without the 2. I didn't even remember having the one with the 2 until reading your post. I must've set that up Isaac Hill with my regular e-mail address, forgot that password, then tried to set up Tantrum and created the e-mail address with the 2 because the forum won't allow two accounts with the same e-mail address. I probably never used the 2 address again, my ISP deactivated it, which is why Denyer got an undeliverable message.
Re: If you're having problems logging in, post in here and we'll try to help you
That makes sense! The Isaac Hill account is a few years older than Tantrum. And since you use that name on other forums -- last month you showed off your TFW Lego customs thread under that name -- I don't think there's any doubt that it's you.
Denyer, any objections to sending a new password to the other email?

Goferit. 
Sorry, been bouncing between things today and didn't spot replies. Hopefully next week will be quieter.
We can sort the email thing out as well.

Alright, I've reset the password and send it off in an email. Hopefully that works!
Tantrum, if you'd like I should also be able to swap the emails so that your active account has the one you use, and the Isaac Hill one has the one with a "2".

I was able to swap the e-mails myself, so I'm all set. Thanks, guys.
