Help:Logging in

To log in, you must first create an account, then go to the log in page.



How do I log in?
First, make sure cookies are enabled in your browser. Click on the Log in link at the top right of the page.

You will be prompted to enter your username and password. If you haven't logged in before, you will need to enter your password twice.

You may give your email address if you like. If you choose to provide an address:
 * You will be able to recover a forgotten password. A password cannot be recovered without an email address.
 * You will be able to use email notification to be notified of changes to pages you are interested in.
 * You will be able to apply to start a new Wikia, if you choose.
 * Other users will be able to use Wikia's "Email user" function to send email to you. This will not reveal your email address to them.

If you click the box Remember my password across sessions, you will not have to give your password again when you access Wikia from the same computer. Do not use this on computers at libraries, internet cafes, or other public places, or others may be able to login with your user name.



How do I log out?
You can log out any time by clicking on the Log out link at the top right of the page.



How do I change my password or email address?
Click on the Preferences link at the top right of the page for various options, such as changing your password.



I can't stay logged in!
If you appear to be able to log in, but as soon as you try to look at a page after the 'Log in successful' page you appear logged out again, it is very likely to be a cookie problem. If you are certain that cookies are enabled, make sure that you haven't inadvertently listed www.wikia.com on a list of sites to never allow cookies for. (This feature is available in Mozilla Firebird/Firefox 0.6 and above and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and above). Also make sure your computer's date and time are set correctly; if they are not, cookies may expire before they're supposed to.

It could also be a cache problem -- try CTRL-F5 or hold SHIFT while clicking your browser's Reload/Refresh button, or try some of the other steps on Clear your cache.
