I have done 3 password resets with not problem, and used to type it in method.

How did you gert it? I entered VID and put a tick in the Generate New Passwords box. It immediately replied, with my old passwords !

Is there another request route?

I just had the same thing happen. Latest password rejected so I dug out the
last post from them and pasted the password in again - and it was again
rejected. Asked for a password reset and put the same password back - and it
worked..

They seem to be really screwed up right now.

I guess I've stayed on only to help JHB reach its required numbers. I fly
VFR from choice but significantly degraded hearing makes ATC contact
unattractive anyway. So, I've still been using IVAO when convenient. In
truth I've not been using FSX as much as in the past, apart from for scenery
testing.

I can see why they have occasional purges but they could benefit from less navel gazing and try to see some of the situations from the point of view of the users. Today and yesterday are good examples. Having been provided with new passwords, IVAO seems to have disowned them. In view of its length and complexity, surely not justified, I've done a paste and copy, only to have
it rejected again. So, I've requested a new password and see it has just
arrived. I'll try again but am rapidly losing patience. No fault of JHB but
I'm always, anyway, put off by high falutin and Walter Mitty type
correspondence from IVAO, with much use of titles and the sort of business
speak that I thought retirement allowed me to avoid.

We had at least 30 pilots ask to join JHB and a number never got off
the ground - they stayed at zero hours until deactivated. I'm guessing
that worldwide it must be a lot worse and so IVAO have to run a purge
to clear out a lot of dead wood.

It is a pity their system can't separate out those pilots with zero
activity and those with a good track record and give the latter a
little more leeway..

I hope that is a registration level and provided there is regular
activity from within the VA it would be allowed to continue.  I can
understand why those who have opted out are coming from though.

The JHB Active list is now down to 19 pilots so we may get told to
stop operations. The minimum is 20 for IVAO to accept the airline for
operational status but I don't know if they check this.

Deactivated pilots have their hours frozen in the IVAO Pirep system
but they stay in the system for a while. The full JHB listing shows 29
pilots (10
inactive) but I assume pilots eventually get removed because I don't
see Ernie's name in the list.

This raises the question of how many active IVAO members we have.
Remember we need to maintain a certain number to retain our registration
with IVAO.

For the UK VFR flying that is what I mainly do, it's hardly worth the
hassle of flying IVAO and not seeing any other aircraft.

Ah well, it's now irrelevant. I've just received an email to tell me
my account has been deactivated, through lack of use!

Weird! Feeling guilty about not having logged onto IVAO, since their
servers went bottoms up, I just tried to access the Pireps page. As
I expected, it wanted my VID and Website Password. My VID hasn't
changed but the multi character website password has; three times. I
wasn't surprised when the new password was rejected, since it
contains several characters that might be either letter o or zero, I
know not. The surprise came when having rejected it I was
immediately admitted.

I suppose there will be a similar performance next time I try to log
on for a flight.
