When I try entering my email to get a link re: my forgotten password here, i get this error screen instead and I don't know why or what I can do about my old account like this.
'Server Error in '/' Application.
function requested is not supported.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The function requested is not supported

Source Error:

Unfortunately I don't understand this 'stack trace' at all. Site seems to be thriving and running fine otherwise. I've tried both my computer and my laptop.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this error? I hope I can still change my password. :(

     Maybe it's just you or something about your connection? I get that screen sometimes, but it's never a major issue and I normaly just have to wait a bit or refresh my internet connection.

I would hope it's connection, it's interesting you have had it happen temporarily yourself. All I can really think of right now is to try again at different times

as of trying again these two days later, i'm getting the same result. odd.

     Do you share your wifi with many (MANY) people? Or have some filter of some kind that could be messing with it? Perhaps you're doing it all wrong? Or, it could be the site but I doubt that.

I do share it with a few people yeah

A few people won't do what I was thinking. I was thinking MANY MANY people, to the point where wifi is seriously bad for all of them. I had this problem last year in Costa Rica, in a I think it was an apartment building.

it's about 4 so maybe not

Maybe not? That's not nearly enough to cause wifi issues.

oh i meant, 'maybe its not enough to cause those issues then' haha

This is a "feature" not an "error".

What's the account, and do you remember any details to prove it's yours?

unfortunately dont remember my username, i just probably know the email as the password reset asks for. i've tried both the probable emails i have used for this site but got the same error.

Well if you remember the name of a storygame with some kind of significant progress you created I can work with that too.

And if you didn't have anything like that, then frankly nothing of value was lost.

cool, although i didn't publish either of the games I was working on. at least the latter of the two was incomplete though I created a lot of pages and stuff for it. i have the names of them if that helps at all.

I can search unpublished games if I have a title, yes.

Possibly dumb question but is there a difference between unpublished and private? I see some users have unpublished games listed at their profile pages.
Either way, the 2nd one was called either 'Mystery at Magdalyn Hotel' or that with 'The' right before.

The games are only visible (and accessible to people with the link) if the author has the Sneak Peek option on.

Anyway, looks like a fanfic. The account name is stringland and I've changed the password to the first part of the email it was registered with. (The part before the @)

ahh i see - well thanks a lot for this!
