    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    I dont have one but I think its when you click log in from the home page instead of the discussion boards bit of the website. It looks like its called yourvoice so it's different from the boards

    This website is split into a few different sections, and you need a separate account for all of them. The main site, the boards, and chat all need separate accounts. You can use the same log in details but you do have to register separately on each. It’s a bit dumb, but it’s always been this way. The boards are ran by a platform called vanilla, so your account isn’t actually with the mix it’s with vanilla. Same with chatwee, chat is on chatwee so your account is with chatwee, not the mix if that Ames any sense at all.

    Thank you for your help everyone!

    Just wanted to confirm this is all correct what you've spoken about here and apologies it's all a bit confusing. We do have plans to update our website at some stage so this won't be a permanent thing!

    @toffuna101 just to confirm your account is one for The Mix's website and there's another one for the discussion boards which is a separate account. It's confusing because the 'log in' button for the website is still visible for the discussion boards at the top of the page, so you'll usually ending up logging in to both accounts! If you would like us to delete your account on the website, do let us know by sending an email to community@themix.org.uk.

    To log in to the discussion boards, you can use this link - https://community.themix.org.uk/entry/signin

    Any other questions, let us know!
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Like what Slinky’s picture shows, this happened to me when I originally tried to sign up for the message boards believe it or not, as like what you experienced I thought that you could sign in anywhere on the site to login.

    Unfortunately this wasn’t the case, and instead of the message boards, I had set up an account for sharing your stories. I had to make a new account specifically for the message boards. It is definitely rather confusing, and at some stage it should be that one login does it all.
