LOGIN FAQ
-----------------------------------------------
I registered on the [site or forum] and the other says I'm not registered. Why?
Site and forum accounts are separate for the current site. You will need to register again in the other location.
I registered on the site, but when I try to login I get a message that I'm not activated.
Check the email account that you registered with - you should have an activation email in your inbox. Click the link inside of the email and you will be activated automatically. Note: sometimes AP activation emails end up in the spam/junk bin, so please check there if you can't find it.
If you still can't find it, contact us (select "User login / sign up" as the subject, and be specific about your problem).
I activated my site account, but when I try to log in the page refreshes itself and I am still not logged in.
The site uses cookies and javascript to validate login. There are a number of reasons why this problem may occur; you can try any of these solutions below for troubleshooting.
1) Try a different browser. If you don't have another one, you can get either Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable or Opera browser: Home page free & for almost any operating system.
2) Make sure javascript is enabled.
3) Don't use a proxy or web accelerator, as these often interfere with scripts & cookies.
4) Disable any ad blockers or content filters you may be using. Alternatively, most ad blockers & content filters allow you to "whitelist" sites (automatically disable the filter for the listed sites), you can add anime-planet.com to these whitelists.
5) Disable or bypass any firewalls you may be using (also check your router (if you have one), as they often have built in firewalls too). If you can't disable it or bypass it, go into it's options and make sure it isn't blocking cookies, javascript, or filtering out "jquery" or "validate", as any of those things will prevent you from being able to log in.
6) Set cookies to "always allow" explicitly for anime-planet.com (such as in the "sites" tab in the cookie section for IE). If you are trying this route it is important that you set anime-planet.com EXPLICITLY, as setting cookies to always allow for all sites doesn't seem to do the trick.
7) If login has worked in the past but doesn't anymore, you might just need to delete cookies / temp internet files and try again.
8) Often, work firewalls block consistent login to the site - this is usually not something that is changeable (I have the same problem when I am at work), so if you find login is difficult at work, try once you get home.
