How do I log into the PWI forums on Arc?

I have somehow lost the ability to login the forums on Arc. I can login on the website but not on the Arc platform where I open my game. I went through several tickets and emails to finally get the answer to help me login on the website. But I was told that somehow I am not logged in on the Arc forums. I can't find anywhere to do this. I was told to log off Arc and log back on and it should fix the problem but that didn't work.

    sjampie, there is not an error message. I just can't post to the forum from Arc. I have to log in through my browser. And most of the time, I can't even read forums. It will tell me there is nothing to see. I have submitted a ticket and was told that Arc doesn't recognize that I am logged in even though I have just opened it by logging in. So the only way I can post to or see all of the content in the forums is to go into Arc through my browser. This is very annoying since I used to be able to post to forums through Arc. And just for your SA information, this comment was posted through Arc on my browser, not from the Arc client, which is open and logged in but I still can't post from there.

    So any fancy solutions to the issue since the GMs and Admins and Devs can't seem to get this fixed?

    Oh, I forgot to mention that this browser page still says Sign In or Register at the top of the page, so evidently I am not logged in on the browser version of Arc. Is this just a joke to everyone else?

    It's true. We cannot use Arc to use this forum. I think it's all about the copy/past sources while not really have the knowledge of programming software. Also the reason with the voice-chat. It never worked lol. Well, it happens a lot in software lately. Script kiddies taking over the world.

    Arc is only used to start the game(s) but there is no reason to let any Arc files stay active on our computer(s). Closing it via Task Manager if you started the 32bit version of PWI or just via Arc if you use the 64 bit version of PWI's elementclient.exe and only keep a normal internet browser active is a solution to keep using this forum while playing PWI. That's unless you are in a helpful/active faction and can ask things just in-game.

    The other issue you mentioned, about the sign-in text, is due the fact Arc 'forgets' we're logged in. This text will also be shown if we use a normal Internet browser so it seems more like a cookie issue. A solution for this is just to wait, wait until Arc will be replaced by Passport or whatever it will be called in the future. For now refreshing the forum or sign in again is the only thing we 'normal players' can do. With Passport there is a small chance this issue will be solved.

    Lets hope for the best....
