Hello. I am in the process of creating a community guide for Bungie.net, nothing spectacular, but was wondering if you as a community can help me help others? This is directed to users that are active and have some knowledge of the site, but anyone is welcome to post below. A very small portion of this guide will be a few FAQs. I am as of right now focusing on a FAQ particularly specified to Windows Live ID and Bungie.net error related issues. If you could post some of the common questions that you see newcomers ask on the forums, that would be greatly appreciated.

Some examples would include the following;

* Why can't I log out of Bungie.net?
* What is enhanced security? I don't see any difference.
* Why won't it save my changes in "edit profile?"
* My gamertag is linked, but it says to link gamertag... should I do it again?
* Why do I log into someone's account instead of mine?
* I know I am entering the correct info, why won't it let me log in?

PS: I am fully aware that Bungie is in the process of creating an official FAQ. Please do not bring that issue up, for my project is completely separate, but will also incorporate their FAQ when released.

When I log in, it then logs me back out, how do I fix this?

Just refresh the page or click on a forum for Ex. and you'll be auto logged back in.


Something like that hard to explain sometimes.

How ,excactly can I help you to help others.
You can help by posting some questions that you see newcomers ask related to Windows Live ID and Bungie.net error related topics. That way, I will cover mostly everything the community is asking in my FAQ; I don't want to leave any questions out.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

When sending a PM, why does it say I am trying to circumvent security?

This is a known issue with the PM system and is being fixed.

Tips:
* Remove all punctuation and symbols from the subject line,
* If it is a long message copy it to the clipboard (right click > select all, right click again > Copy) before sending the message.

Why is it that on occasions when I log out, that after clicking the "sign out" button that nothing will happen. I'll still be logged in my account.

This is a known problem, one way to fix it is to clear all your cookies and either open up a new browser or refresh the page.

Major Nelson answered this over at Xbox.com.

This is one I've encountered personally, but haven't been bothered to much with to ask.

Q: Sometimes when I log into Bungie.net with my Windows Live ID the page reloads but I'm not signed in. When I click "Sign In" again, it reloads the page once more and I am signed in. Is there something wrong?

When I am on Bnet occasionally I will be logged out when I visit a new page. Is this a problem?

This will sometimes happen. To fix it simply refresh the page and you will be logged back in.

A: There is nothing wrong, I believe this may just be your browser loading the page before the .NET service has time to update your log in status.
