Dear Car Talk Community friends, Thanks for bearing with us during the launch of the new Car Talk site. You now have the opportunity to unify your community account with the rest of the Car Talk web site. This “Single-Sign On” feature allows for one account throughout the Car Talk site, whethe…

So, um, uhhh, how long have you been testing the Single Sign-on?

@littlemouse I personally wrote it, and it has been the way I sign on to my own forum for over a year. http://vanillaforums.org/addon/proxyconnect-plugin The problem was unintentional and unforeseen. You seem to be representing yourself as someone who knows something about software, so I'll give yo…

SSO is perfect for a web site like this. Every web-app my team has developed for the past 3 years have all been SSO.

Tried the single sign-in link, it STILL automatically takes me to my “account information” page. When I click the community button in the links, it’ll take me to the forums, but logs me out. I can right click a forum link(general discussions for example) and have FF open in IE, and I’m logged in thr…

So to clarify what's happening right now: On these forums, the yellow expandy box at the top right does not properly work. The issue lies in the cartalk.com handling of logins. As you have probably experienced, logging in from the forums via that yellow box takes you to your cartalk.com page and no…

tried it, still refuses to work. temp files deleted and everything. On the cartalk site, it shows me logged in, but as soon as I click the community linki, it logs me out. However, if I click another link off the forums, then it shows me logged back in. I do not attempt to login at either time.

forgot to check the cookies, so i deleted those, deleted the temp files again, then tried logging on. It’s now asking me to link my accounts, but when I put in my password for the email, it says there’s no account found with my email/password: Sign in Sorry, no account could be found related to …

I think the problem stems from the fact that both your accounts use the same e-mail address. I know we’d at some point disabled the ability for users to have multiple usernames on one e-mail address. Peacefrog/badbearing had had a similar issue. I’m not sure whether my removal of his second account …

I’ve used a different email address for this account than my old one. I tried the password recovery thing several times, but it came up saying my account was invalid, or something, when I clicked the link in my email; this was before the “upgrade” to the current setup. When #2 was made was when I st…

bscar2, I don’t want to break anybody’s fingers – I know you’re frustrated, but I assure you everybody’s been working really, really hard since the new site launched. Follow Tim’s instructions to be logged in. (Thanks, Tim, for taking the time to explain things to us.)
