Oh man. So, we are aware that some of you are having trouble actually resetting your passwords. I am not sure why it works for some but does not work for others, in the same way that I am not sure why anything on the Internet happens. Please be patient! We will try and get someone to fix this as soon as there is anyone who is actually awake. XO.

I did it fine! thanks! cheers!
it took me a few times, but eventually it let me in!
Persistence is the key!
I had a problem, but figured out what was wrong:
When you reset the password and get the email, you can’t just log in to the videogum ‘sign in’ field, if you try that it will just look like it processing forever and never work. You have to follow the link in the 2nd email that wordpress sends you and log in there… that will take you to a page where you can update your profile.
I apologize for the lack of humor in this comment.
The baby makes up for it brah. XO
Agreed! The trick is to follow the instructions TOO closely.
Nice! Were you in Baby Geniuses? Nah, you’re too smart for those babies!
This worked! Thank you! I am glad to see that Whitney was right, and the children are, in fact, our [Videogum commenting] future.
Hey, fellow Joan avatar! Mine used to look you up and down judgmentally, but now she just stares ahead, frozen in time.
How sad! I hadn’t asked about my Joan avatar’s paralysis because I assumed it was my problem, and not Matrix 2.0 Videogum beta version’s problem. I should probably speak up for myself more.
Your frozen avatar is even more tragic than mine, because the world becomes a better place every time Joan hits that rapist with a vase.
It didn’t work for me! I can’t log in!
J/k.
and when you want to get a new password you just type your new one in both boxes!
I no longer get applause when reading your comments! How awful! I need .gif validation!
I know! It saddens me to see them not cheer on you all anymore!
BOOOOOM
Apparently, you need to reset your password every 108 seconds.
And if you don’t the electromagnetic pulse takes down Videogum’s servers
I think I might like this redesign.
i fear change
I feel like you need someone to hold you…first the
now the fear… we’ll get through this together, powlsy.
just a few more stages of grief and i’ll be ok. currently bargaining with youtube
It took me a few times tries (and some yelling… quite a bit of yelling) but it finally happened in the end!
“a few times tries”? What? I blame this on the new design.
I just said that I forgot my password. Everything worked for me!
Mine didn’t seem to actually work from the link in the second email, but when I tried the temporary password in the sign-in box linked from the main site here, it worked just fine and I was able to login, so folks might want to give that a try if the other way isn’t working.
Or perhaps it was just random luck, in the style of the great and terrible internet.
As much as I am digging the new site, I am pretty down on the comment functionality. Not having them all on the same page, not being able to click through to the comments from the main page(until x amount of time or a certain number of comments makes it pop up), not seeing scores and responses on the profiles. We are nothing without our comments! Is there a way this is going to get resolved, or is this it? Anyone agree with me?
yeppers
agreed
Now that Vgum is a WordPress site, I bet this won’t be an incredibly difficult fix you guys.
I agree that there should at least be a way, although it might take an extra click, to see all the comments on one page. Will add to list. And the scores and responses appearing on profiles is a known issue that will get fixed eventually. But I’m not sure I understand the problem about clicking through to comments from the front page? You should be able to do that. I can do that. Unless you are talking about the comments on this post, in which cast this is a “quicklink” post so it operates a little differently, and is something we are working on.
Thanks for the response Gabe, and nice new avatar, but Coach works for East Dillon now!
Actually, if you click on “older” comments button at the top of the comments, it should take you to all of the comments on one page. (Also there are a couple known bugs in comments that we are working on anyway).
Gabe, straight up TCB’ing up in this piece.
Would it be possible to see replies to your comments on your profile, as well? Like before. Change is hard for some folks…
On Safari at least, it just loads the previous page of ‘mments and does not make them all a happy family.
I’m able to see all comments on one page. I’m on Chrome and VGum was always a bit cranky, but now everything seems to be working as it should. Success! Now, can we talk about this color palette? Purple, YES ALWAYS. Dijon mustard brown-yellow? UH…..
I think it depends on the type of post from Gabe whether the comments are accessible from the main page or not. It seems those posts with a photo or video have this and the quick posts (like this one) do not.
Why does everyone keep saying that the comments aren’t on the same page? Am I missing a secret link to the “real” comments? I see 49 comments on one page right now. Confused.
Oh man! I have to go to the bottom of the page to click through to stereogum now?! I have been wildly inconvenienced.
Also, good work webernet men. Change and Hope 2010.
there is a link at the top amongst the email, twitter, and rss icons
Oh hey! Thanks dood!
Sir, you have shaved *seconds* off my days. Seconds. Important ones.
You just saved (part of) my life!
Does anyone know how to upload an avadah? I nothing without Elliot!
You have to click Forgot Password.
When you get an email from Videogum (WordPress), you click on the bottom link in the email. If it takes you to an error page or something, you close out that tab and then return to the email from Videogum (WordPress) and click on that bottom link again. At that point, it took me to a Reset Password screen. Once you reset your password you’ll get another email from Videogum (WordPress) with some crazy Matrix password. Click on the link provided in that same email (the one with the new password). You should be at a WordPress screen. Enter your username and new password and you should be taken to a very limited Edit Profile page. Where you’ll be able to edit your profile and then in the upper left-hand corner, you can go to Videogum signed in as you. Just think of Topher Grace while you’re doing all this and you should be fine.
got it – thanks
I can’t see replys to my comments (not that I get any) or votes for my comments in my profile. How will I know if people are judging me!??
I understand that there are kinks to be ironed, but the fruit of this post’s “Read More…” (i.e. 8 words) was a little disappointing.
Right? I expected to at LEAST see some starving children.
When you first enter the castle, go left. There should be a chest there with some coins and the shield of Garrunth. Equip this before you proceed. Go back right and enter the main hall. Take down the fire bats with your bow and arrow (should be easy by now). Step on the platform in the middle of the room The Snakebeast will appear. The weak point is the big bulging eye. If you already have the ice arrows, use those on it. Otherwise just hope you have enough arrows and keep on firing. After you defeat the Snakebeast, your password should reset. Hope this helps!
Hey! It’s “kate”. But for some reason I cannot log in or reset my password at all. When I get the e-mail link me to this magical mythical change password place, I am taken to a dead WordPress site. Help? Anyone? hello?
Never mind! I did it! I think! BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS!
HEY! Where the F is Double Dog? I know she’s gone, but we still love Lindsay, this was our link to the past!
The real problem here is I have no idea where I got my avatar and I may never find it again. How will you all know to completely ignore my comments without reading them? I’m sorry.
Actually, nevermind. Everything is really great!
Yeah but your icon just isn’t the same with the weird stroking motion that he does. I miss it
If you have this problem in the future, just google “banana head” and all will be well.
What about Videogum CHAT! Does this mean I will have to do work after 2:30 on Fridays?
This was the sad message found after attempting to enter chat:
Oh No! Error 404 – Not Found!
For now, we’ll use http://jeffsundin.net/videogum/
Wow, that felt a bit obtuse, but we got there!
Note: It somehow killed the illusion for me when I was taken to a wordpress profile page. I thought Videogum ran on Unicorn Farts and Butterfliy Juice. NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH.
I was going to come in and yell I DID IT I AM SMRT but seeing you all ruined that dream. Thanks dream crushers! Also I’m digging this new site, it looks all official and business like now. Videogum: Where )) does meets (( for ever. You can have that one Gabe, for the downloadable blog business cards.
i just want to say i, for one, am grateful for the black hole of time last night where comments got erased. i left a really gushy reply to That One’s comment on the Oprah thread b/c i thought it was SO FUNNY, and when i logged in this morning and was kind of relieved it was gone. although, That One, if you are reading this, you are so funny.
You know, “next” and “previous” have no meaning on the Internet. I never know what I’m really clicking.
Check, 1–2–
I’M BACK!
(obligatory positive comment about how awesome the new re-design is), BUT…. as a frequent reader/infrequent commenter, I find it a little annoying that I now have to log in to view the thumbs up/thumbs down. I understand having to log in to actually comment and vote, but since I rarely log in, I’d rather be able to just view comments/ratings as they are. Was this intentional? It’s really not that big a deal if I have to log in every time, just curious if it’s a change that will be made.
I think I got it now, but thanks guys!
Hmm, my avatar is different, and the comments on my profile page aren’t mine. Maybe I’m just missing something, and that’s how it’s supposed to be?
Wait, my correct avatar shows up here!
I am embracing change!
what are you? some sort of socialist?
(political commentary ftw)
If liking the new VG layout makes me a socialist then so be it! I am packing my bags and moving to China. They have cat videos there, right?
nope. blocked.
My only complaint is where is the monster who used the “Oh Lawd!” dog avatar? I miss that avatar, and that monster.
