WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO  CONGRATS EVERYONE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
https://youtu.be/pz3uaynuOI8

It is that time of year again where Forestry Forum member's want to pull out Santa Jeff's beard! This year our contest is way different than any from the past, yet, still, a bit diabolical ;D

I've spent a lot of time this past couple months beating off hackers and scammers and spammers from trying to access the forum and it's server. So I got to thinking, why should they have all the fun?  It's time for our Forum members to try and hack their way into the Forestry Forum Christmas Contest. So without further adieu, welcome to the

HACK THE FORESTRY FORUM CHRISTMAS CONTEST CONTEST! 8) 8)
First I would like to thank the Co-Sponsors for this years Prizes!

Logrite Tools and Council Tools


I'll list the prizes later on in this post, but I wanted to get the contest started because frankly,  some of you may need the time. ;)

Here is what you have to do.   I am going to give you a video clue and a link. The link will be username password protected.  The passwords through this whole contest are all the same, and that password is Christmas2017  It is the username you must figure out by using the video as a clue. The usernames are all farely well known Forestry Forum member usernames. As I said, use the video to figure out who that member might be. It might be obvious to some, it may be tough for others. T H I N K. I also encourage you to help each other behind the scenes.

There are 13 levels. Each Level has the same password, Christmas2017, but a new username and video clue.  Once you get to the final level, you will find the entry form to fill out and get entered. Winners will be chosen at random from the successful entries.

Tips:
1. The username must be exactly as the members name appears here on the forum with two exceptions. Two of the usernames are two word names. For those, you must insert an underscore between the names. Like this>>>  John_Smith There is a third two word username, but he already has an underscore in it.

2. I would take notes to record your progress, so you can get back to where you left off if you happen to taka break mid-stream.

3.You have until midnight Christmas Eve to get registered. Don't procrastinate! We have some great prizes! Winners will be drawn sometime on Christmas Day

4.As you proceed, you will notice the page address will give you a secret Christmas message.

5. You need to be a registered member to complete the entry form.

Okay, here is your first video Clue and the Link where you need to try to login to.  Good Luck and God Speed and

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

So I may be having technical difficulties. Whats suppose to happen if I enter the wrong user name?

What I am getting when I enter the name an password is the screen flashes and the password dots disappear then the progress bar goes 1/10 of the way across and stops, if I press cancel I get "error 401".

ps that hint is too easy, make them suffer a bit longer there is 19 more days. :D
Coming from the guy that can't get past the first clue. :D

Jeff

Wrong answer is entirely based on what browser you are using.  A correct answer takes you to an obvious web page, Wrong could be the prompt flashes for you try again, or closing the prompt without success would probably result in an Error 401!  page. I could customize that I suppose to let you know you didn't make, but, it should be obvious if you get that, you didn't make it!

Ok, I am using Safari Version 10.1.2 (10603.3.8), I let it sit and the safari froze up and then force quit after a bit, tried again and went to error 401 page after a while, it does not compete loading the page just sits at 1/10 progress so I was not sure if the problem was computer/internet or me. I can pm you the answer I was trying see if that is the problem.

Jeff

Sure, I can give you a yes or no. :)   Me no do Safari. ;)   I'm thinking if it just sits there, it aint right, but I can't help with the apple.  Maybe use firefox or chrome for apple.
