Ubuntu Forums

Cannot login to ubuntuforums.org

Asked by Rowland Barkley on 2017-08-13

When I try to login to ubuntuforums, am asked to login to via SSO which I already have done, I do that again, click to log into Ubuntuforums, and the response is always:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /login.php on this server.

The problem is the same using Firefox or Chrome. The address bar is:

It would probably help if you let us know what your username is on the forum, as there is no user on the Forums with your Lauchpad ID or email address.

Rowland Barkley (masterexorcist) said : #2

The only username I have any record of is masterexorcist.

If I registered with any other, it would have been technoshaman

I haven't used any other usernames on any forum.

Wild Man (wildmanne39) said : #3

The username is technoshaman, if you set that as your username at Ubuntu One and set your email the same as the one you are using on launchpad as your preferred email address at Ubuntu One you should be able to log in to the forum using Ubuntu One.

Can you help with this problem?
