Since there's no email link for the admins listed on the web site, these LP posters have no way of contacting them about the login failures. Hey, admins! What the heck is going on? How come a bunch of us can't log into the site anymore since the new home page went up?

I find it really strange that the techies running LP don't want anyone to have a simple way to contact them when things go wrong. Doobie was always available for stuff like this, but not the new team. These guys seem to prefer working from a bunker at an undisclosed location. Not exactly the best way to run a Disney fan site if you want to keep visitors coming back.

Don't think this is true. He just posted on Facebook the other day about an article he wrote for "his" site LP. Of course they may not be very involved anymore, but I believe he still "owns" the site.

Originally Posted By iamsally I could not sign in from my daughter's computer. Same symptoms as dagobert. When I went back to a computer where I was already signed on I could get in. Scared to ever sign out.
