I’m using Tapafap and tried the 2 step on my phone and it was a PITA and never worked right. I guess i’ll stay as long as i’m able to.

That’s the problem though. He thought he was sending it to someone he knew and recognized as a member in good standing. The difference was it went to a different PayPal account

Yeah, I understand. I probably shouldn't have commented on it, because I'm not smart enough tech wise to know a better solution. I guess I'm an overly cautious guy and need to realize, not everyone operates like I do.

You're the only person I've ever dealt with online business wise, on a forum, outside of Ebay, or normal sites, and we jumped to text pretty quick.

I'm certainly not trying to insult the people who are trying to come up with solutions. My apologies, if it came off like that.

Just sucks there's going to be people lost because of it I guess.

No I don’t think anyone took it like that. I don’t have a better solution either. I am very electronically challenged

I’ve gotta apologize: I was as frustrated as most about this new change when I made my post earlier. I was just able to setup the email verification pretty easily. And yes, just make sure you check the box that says “Remember this device for 30 days”. Only took a minute to receive the code via email. I also updated my password and made it much stronger than it used to be.. Change sucks, but I respect that they are trying to control the hackers, and also protecting us from becoming victims of scams.

Fellers bear with us as we work through this. We appreciate your patience. I’m sure Steve will come up with a solution that is best for everyone. He is a superhero after all. Just look at his avatar.

@exCanuck @Mastermind Fellas this isn’t really working. No one wants to deal with all this extra stuff. I know what happened in the sail thread but that member was warned originally by several other members before he sent money to not Dustin wilt. He made a mistake. That’s not your fault. Hackers gonna hack guys. It’s up to us to be wise.

I’m not trying to get banned by calling things like I see it but this is already NOT working. Anyone that’s dealt with me knows I don’t say a lot about anything but several of us have been here since this place started myself included

think about it do you honestly believe you’re gonna get new members by making them jump through all the extra hoops? I personally don’t think so. I think I’d just join a different forum to ask how to put my chain on correctly. Dead serious thing to ponder.
Who’s gonna stumble through trying to set up a 2 step just to join up to say hello or maybe even become a regular around here. I don’t see it happening and if you disagree you’re not being logical



love y’all just sayin.

 

[Al Smith]

Good heavens it's been so long since I used a pass word nor can I find out where I wrote it down .Most likely what could happen is I'll need to rejoin .No big deal .

 

[Funky sawman]

I tried by email 1st and got the same result. I got like 5 different codes and NONE of them worked. I've never been hacked. Not that anyone would want my *s-wordty 710 credit score anyways.

Same here, entered in like 5 or 6 codes, just frustration..... At least I'm able to log in again lol

 

[Mastermind]

I believe you fellas are right. We are fixin to lost a *s-wordload of members.

Exactly. Also if you’re sending money to Dustin when filling out PayPal it tells you who the money is going to….

My point here is it’s not you moderators or the sites fault. I’m certainly not a member of any other forum that asks for 2 step. I’ve bought parts from other forums too. I was new to those forums.

the member was warned by other dam good members

 

[Mastermind]

If we can get thru all this for awhile, there is something better coming.

On mike from maines forum they had a thread about the ass kicking radius anybody was willing to drive to their money or saws back.

I did the two-step verification about 2-3 weeks ago, had to login with the emailed verification codes, etc and got a message from Excanuck yesterday saying I needed to do the two-step verification by end of Feb or I guess I get locked out from the site. Who the hell knows, unless I’m just missing something.

Everyone got it. Just a blanket reminder.
