hey guys, ok iv an unsual problem here lol, a friend of mine has been trying to sign up to ats for a while but upon signup all they get is a blank white screen (see below images)







now they are running windows 8. i have went through browser settings with them, made sure cookies and such are allowed and enabled , even so far as to tell them to add ats to the allow lists) and their java and flash are up to date (all of which are)

so now we are at a conundrum , they really wanna join and contribute but im at a loss on how to help them further.. any ideas?

I would try with a different browser to see if it he could log in with that?
Can you log in with your own details using his PC and browser he is using?

Weird, haven't got windows 8 so unfortunately can't help, but I use windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and can log in no probs also with my iPad and iPhone. Ask him to try a different log in name, maybe the one he is trying has been used before by someone else?

Have them start Firefox in safe mode, and see if things start working.

Firefox - safe mode

I wonder if it is just the registration page.

Y'all could try it where you register for him, send him the info see if he can log in with it, and he can then change his pw if needed.


Just a thought if you are out of options atm.

Excellent idea...try to log him in using your PC and a different password, if ok, send him the details and he can change password once he is in...

tried this and it removes the objects error but still blankl page

also yea id thought about that, just registering him myself and sending him the details, i wasnt sure though incase i got into trouble by the admin
lol (it would show dupe ip to start with)

may be the only choice at this point though

Tried with a phone yet?

If unable too - your security settings on your antivirus is blocking certain scrips. Try adding ats to the list of trusted sites on your antivirus software. (Not the browser security, but the virus one)

Or maybe just suspending the software while you register.

I tried to signup for 3 days; webmaster address is broken; contact email address is not answered.
I finally figured out that I had to fully disable my avast anti-virus first, then signup worked
fine.

Hi there, i actually had to create a new account also,to get in-much the same problem-i did ask a mod to try and force a new password/log me out somehow(because i was stuck in a sort of limbo/purgatory on my previous account)
www.abovetopsecret.com...

i would love my old account back-i hope some mod can help me-the last time i asked for help,i got a reset url that was 404'd,so i really do not know what's going on-and by that time i was already logged out on the only devive that i still had a connection on-my hubby's pc-idk anything about pc's-so i imagined i should log out on that,so the new password force could go through-and then i was locked out,so i decided to take a break from posting for a few days anyway.
