change log in screen
« on: January 29, 2011, 01:38:58 AM »
do you think it would be possible to add an "are you sure you want to unselect saved password" to your log in screen?  that is for dummies like me who type too fast and unselect the "save password" box and click ok at same time and cant find the dang id or password  :rofl.  I had to do a disk recovery to get my password back. or perhaps move the "ok" box a little lower.

if you forget your login username or password

you can find it in the C:\hitech creations\aces high\settings\  folder in the "login.cfg" file ( can open it with notepad, just do not check the box "always open this file type with this program" or how ever it reads )

note: this login.cfg file keeps the "last" known login username and password you used to log into Aces High with..... the only time it will change is when you manually change it on the clipboard when you log in under a different username/password ( gameid )

I never had a problem like yours before..... you must have multiple accounts you are using or switching between if you keep having to type in the username and password each time you log in

if you have the "Save Password" box checked, all you ever have to do is click the OK  button when you want to go online... because your login in username and your password are always there already filled in.....

hope this helps

last time it took me a few hours to get my password.  not blaming ah or anything.  but it would be a cool change for us.
