Some links to help get you started

Here are some resources to help familiarize yourself with the Homestar Runner Wiki:

• Before you do any significant editing, be sure to read our wiki standards and our other policies.
• If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the various help pages.
• To practice editing, head over to the sandbox.
• If you have a question that isn't addressed on a help page, you can ask it on the FAQ talk page.

To get plugged in to the community:

• Let us know a little bit about yourself on your user page. (Please see the rules and guidelines for your user space first.)
• If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to The Stick.
• If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our forum, or if you're feeling creative, you can register separately at the fanstuff wiki.
• If you see an update on homestarrunner.com that isn't listed on the Main Page, put it up here.
• To sign and timestamp a post on a talk page, type four tildes (~~~~).
• Above all, be sure to be bold and have fun!

Login troubles

have you logged into hrwiki.org and not www.hrwiki.org? If not, then that's your problem. A security feature of cookies is that they will not log you in for both the non-www and www versions of the site. Most people link to the www version, but I just take out the www each time that happens (as it rarely does) and go from there.

If it's not that, then I have to suggest that you try a different browser. browsers such as Safari and Internet explorer have issues with cache and cookies, which causes it to look like you're logged out, but you really aren't (but still can't do anything as if you were logged out.)

Thanks for the help, but I'm using Chrome, not Safari or IE, and I had no success with or without "www". I think it has something to do with my internet connection; I'm out of town, using HughesNet instead of Time Warner, and this wouldn't be the first problem I've experienced because of the world's worst satellite internet provider. I'll just have to deal with this until I get back to my normal internet connection. Thanks anyway! -Oxguy3 21:33, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Update: I just tried clearing my cookies, as well as using Internet Explorer instead of Chrome, but still no luck. When I enter my username and password and click the Log-in button, I do get logged in, but I'm logged back out as soon as I click any link. This is strange, because I have no problems on Wikimedia sites like Wikipedia. Oh well; I'm getting back to my normal internet connection soon, so I'll just wait until then.
