I don't know what's going on, but it's starting to freak me out!
Yesterday, I participated in a post about hacking here at myLot. Fearful of it, I changed my password TWICE! And then I felt a bit safe afterwards. Now, I'm starting to panic because everytime I use the search engine, I get automatically logged out! So, instead of earning my rewards, I get a message saying I could have earned a reward if I were logged in or something like that. What happened?!!
And, before, I could open two mylot windows at the same time. Now, when I open another window, I'm not logged in in the new window. What's going on??!!! I don't recall changing anything in my settings other than my password!!! CANT.BREATHE.PANIC.PANIC.PANIC.
HELP ME!

Hi glory
Though I was not here when the topic started, as soon as I saw it in my email alert, this is what I had feared, that many would mis-understand, interpret as there is no such thing here on myLot.
As mysdianait above explained admin responded and confirmed there is no hacker activity here on this site and as all stated there, it is just spamming.
Though your situation is not related to spamming I think it is cookie issue and or internet failure perhaps.

Hello HWG! I think I do have a problem. I did what Ms.D told me to do, but, it didn't help. But, like I told her, I will try again later and perhaps on my office desktop as that's where I changed my password, not my personal laptop. Here's crossing my fingers it works. Gotta run to the office, then. Thanks!

It's fixed! It is in fact my office desktop that needed to be fixed, not my laptop at home I'm so relieved. Thanks!

If you are still having an issue with the account itself do contact admin here and they can reset your password and get it where you can change it again.
Hopefully no issue after.

Hey! Calm down....
Log out, clear your cookies, then log back in again and all will be well.
BTW Admin responded on that topic and as you can see from his response, it was nothing more than we thought. There was no hacker.

Thanks, Ms. D. But, it didn't solve the problem. I still get automatically logged out. I will try to wait it out a bit and try again later. Thanks.

Whatever is the problem, it has nothing at all to do with non-existent hackers

That's a bit of a relief. Thanks. And I will try to figure out what this is. Will run to the office as that's where I changed my password yesterday. Am crossing my fingers that it would work. 60% of my earnings here come from my rewards, so it's sad that I can't now because I'm getting automatically logged out.

I think we are safe, all the members here and the admin are on the ball and would never let anything like that happen so don't worry
As had been said clear your cookies, I had the same problem with rewards too.
Next time this happens just play this tune and replace the word Killer with Hacker and enjoy!

Oh, no. It's already a Monday here, so weekend's over for me.

You're right. I've been reassured that admin won't let that sort of thing happened. And, everything's back to normal now. Oh...I can't watch that as I'm at the office. But, when I get home, maybe. Thanks!

Hello gloryacam,
First off, i would like to apologize if my previous discussion has cause people like you to relentlessly panic. with regards to your situation, it has actually happened to me most specially when i was completely addicted to mylot. there are chances that i log out automatically. but they're right, just always clean out those cookies, most specially if you are in a public computer shared network area

@LK: Apology accepted. I got really scared because I use my office desktop to myLot and of course it holds a lot of sensitive data and all that. So, I got a bit carried away. But, it's all okay now so let't just have a laugh about it and move on?

Not really, but this is the last opportunity to be busy with myLot because I'm starting with my other job tonight. So, I'll be here less next week. Gotta make the most out of it!

Yes, I'm good now. I did as suggested by a very good friend and my myLot is back to normal. Thanks!

It's alright now. Just had some glitch about cookies and all. And, no, it's not myLot.
