As I suspected, "because I am a whiny man-baby and I don't like uppity women".

StatisticallyChallenged · 20/08/2015 15:21

leedy, wish i could like as that sums it up.

Gruntfuttock · 20/08/2015 15:21

herderofcatsNo. that sounds weird. What browser are you using?

herderofcats · 20/08/2015 15:22

Native android browser.

herderofcats · 20/08/2015 15:23

It hasn't happened since I've changed username though...

tigerscameatnight · 20/08/2015 15:24

my email I haven't used for mumsnet in years and years has been hacked. it was fine last week.

diddl · 20/08/2015 15:25

I've just logged out & in again a couple of times with no problems.

"It's in the middle of the screen and mn is behind it."

I was just getting the same log in as I thought that I had already logged into iyswim.

He did it because his mother was a hamster and his father smelled of elderberries.

No, he did it because dogs bark, trolls troll, and sad pathetic hackers get their kicks from sad pathetic activities.

diddl · 20/08/2015 15:30

Ooh ha!

Just tried to log into my email & it has been closed due to inactivity!

I used it yesterday!

Different password to mn one that was on list.

Coincidence?

needastrongone · 20/08/2015 15:31

Hi.

Sorry about all the problems. Proper shite.

I have reset my password just now, and am sat on my Chromebook typing away, having logged back in. I have changed my password a few times.

Thing is, if I try to log in using the new password, via an Iphone 5c, using the Mumsnet App, it spits me out and says invalid login. Doesn't give me an option to login via Facebook or Google or even to have a reset email?

I can login using a Safari Browser on the Iphone.

herderofcats · 20/08/2015 15:37

Oo-er, it's disappeared! Confused

herderofcats · 20/08/2015 15:38

Oh, it's back now.

hashtagwhatever · 20/08/2015 15:43

Herd, I was getting that pop up last week but if I navagated away from it I was already logged in. Confused

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/08/2015 15:46

hi everyone

fucking trolls

that's all

diddl · 20/08/2015 15:48

Has the warning disappeared from the login page?

Well, I'm locked out of the email account that's connected to mn & I really don't think that I can be bothered to set up a new on, so looks as if I'm on borrowed time!

If there's another password reset I won't be getting the mail/link!

headlesslambrini · 20/08/2015 15:49

I can't log into my email. Any ideas of what I can do?

headlesslambrini · 20/08/2015 15:50

also, just to clarify, I wasn't on the list and this has happened in the last couple of hours. It won't accept my password.

headlesslambrini · 20/08/2015 15:51

password was totally different to MN one.

SarfEasticatedMumma · 20/08/2015 15:51

Is it you gmail headless? If so that happened to me too

herderofcats · 20/08/2015 15:52

Yep, same here hashtag. Weird.

headlesslambrini · 20/08/2015 15:54

no not gmail, has yours come back on?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 20/08/2015 15:54

Those of you who can't login into your email, have a google, there will be instructions somewhere...

SarfEasticatedMumma · 20/08/2015 15:59

Yes it has now, had to come home from work and then start again. It was all very unsettling though...

PlayingSolitaire · 20/08/2015 16:01

Those who can't log into Gmail - what happened? Were you logged on and were force-ably logged out, or had you logged yourself out and were trying to log back it when you discovered you couldn't?

Are you getting a message when you try and log in? If so, what?

Is Gmail your email for Mumsnet?
Have you logged into Mumsnet using Gmail/google?

My Facebook problem was odd, but seem to have sorted it by getting rid of it and re-loading it.
