Sorry -- didn't want to add another post, didn't want to add another post, didn't want to add another post... :-D
but-- it is now up to over 4 days, about 98 hours since I first received the error message:
We were unable to authenticate your account. Contact us for assistance. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I have done everything: different browsers, different IP addresses, sent messages to the support wiki and the 2 support email addresses I could locate, and even sent messages from the basic account I set up to use this week. Still no response or solution.
I would not have been so frustrated but I'd have to say I am hooked a bit on my favorite model and essentially missed 3 of her shifts this week and would really like to have my premium account back by her next shift Sunday. I have dealt with MFC customer service before, but never had to wait for more than a few hours for a response. Seeing the level of activity on MFC, there is no way that they have that many people waiting in front of me. Quite honestly, it seems as though they will never respond and will take my account and tokens with them. Sorry to rant, but this has gotten ridiculous, and as I said in the support form, one reason I am so frustrated is because of the good features of the site, that I really have friends there.
Well enough, but I am at wits end with this.
I am almost tempted to ask someone with more Reward Points to try contacting them to see if that will help and if anyone has any other ideas feel free to share them. I have never heard of anyone waiting nearly this long for even a response and not being able to login is a serious issue. I was optimistic when I saw that this issue was a glitch that had been resolved in no more than a few hours for everyone else, but now I am absolutely lost as to what I should do because of the way this has gone so far.
Sorry to rant again but I think most of you understand and would feel the same in my shoes.
