What Is Wrong with Twitter? - thankfullinen319 - 11-19-2012 02:07 AM
Not that I was all that excited about joining twitter, but I signed up last night. I went through the steps, joined, and used it for about an hour. Today I can't access it--it won't accept my e-mail address, user name, or password, or any combination. E-mailing twitter support is no help; I can't get a password reset or any other response. I can't even delete my account because I can't log in to do so. Any help would be appreciated.

i just joined too.
but it says that there is a problem with my e-mail (i used my yahoo e-mail) it says that it can't sent me the confirmation e-mail (i can't find it in spam mail folder either) you usually get when you join a website. Do you remember getting anything like that?
The same thing happened on Facebook when i joined a year ago(where i used my yahoo AND my hotmail e-mails). I used another e-mail (pathfinder) and everything worked great.
So, if you had the same banner as i do on twitter, probably it was because of that.Yahoo is famous for it's bugs.
I found it natural for a service like this, to throw you out when they haven't been able to verify your e-mail account.
On the other hand, i didn't like the idea of making me give them my pasword. But, i always use e-mail accounts like yahoo, just for reasons like this, so it won't bother me so bad if they get hacked.
The only one i get serious is my hotmail.
Try to make a new account that you'll use only for signing up in sites like twitter, one of those small account services.No yahoo or Hotmail.

Exact same problem as you, even signed up yesterday as well. The thing is, even though I can't get a password reset emailed to me, I DID get an email from one of my friends saying that now they're following me.
Also, my twitter page shows someone else's profile for some reason.

- EDIT -
I used my own personal email for registering so I don't think it's a problem with Yahoo mail.
