Why can't I log in with my Facebook account on beta?
The site has been updated to a new version and I don't see a way to log in with my Facebook connected account! This is the only way I've logged in before. What can I do to access my SideReel account?

The option to use Facebook Connect is temporarily turned off as of our new site launch on 9/10/10, but it will be turned back on within a few days of the launch once we work out a few kinks.

Until it's back, you can log in with your SideReel username. If you have only used Facebook to log in and are unsure of your SideReel username, please email us at contact@sidereel.com including your name and your email address and we'll be happy to retrieve your username for you.
You'll need to reset your password if you've never logged in with just your SideReel username, so just follow the link asking you to reset your password and you'll be able to reset then log in with your SideReel username and that new password.

I love how you handled that Q&A. Sneaky and proactive. I also loved how your mood went from "Unsure" to "Happy" in a manner of seconds. Thank you for this info. Not that I was really worried about the missing Facebook connection but now I know for sure not to be worried.

Hi Gideon, sorry it that caused confusion, but I was setting up an FAQ with this so it expressed the general user feeling for the question than my happy feeling that there was something to do about it. ;)

SideReel just changed and in the address bar it says ''beta.sidereel.com'' and i don't like it. seriously. it sucks. the other sidereel was amazing, it was so easy to use and so easy to keep a track of things and post what shows i was watching to my facebook. now i just had to make an account, instead of connecting with facebook and i've lost all the shows i was tracking... sort it out please. beta.sidereel.com sucks!!!!

I cant log in! I put the right e-mail address in and it tells me that there is no e-mail found. What is the prob? I don't log in very much because I have my page set to my favorites and go in that way. I am also connected with my facebook. What do I do? I don't want to start over, I have a ton of shows I'm tracking.

When I first started using sidereel I connected through facebook and I never closed it, I dont remember ever linking an email or password to the account and now that you've gone and changed everything I can't access anything anymore. I tried using all of my emails to see if they would link me to a password that I may have forgotten but it doesn't have any of them registered. I really don't want to start a new account and have to re-track all of my shows. How do I get access back to my account?!

Maybe they'll allow us to connect our new accounts with our previous FB-linked ones? I hope so. I'd hate to have to re-track all those shows... ugh.

I dont know what happened but i have no way of logging in anymore. First off, i did not sign up for sidereel using an email or username, i did so using "sign in with facebook connect", and for the life of me i cant find that button anymore. the lost password doesnt work because i didnt sign up with an email (or at least i dont recall doing so) and thus none of my email accounts work to reset the account, giving me a simple "username / email not found". I tried clicking "sign up" thinking maybe i could get around it that way but your "sign up" page goes straight to the "log in" page. i cant even create a new account. I'm not even sure if this is the right form to use because theres a big giant white space where the contact form should be. super. how the hell do i log in!?

I originally signed up for sidereel through my facebook account....since this morning when sidereeel claims to be "bigger and better" I can no longer access my account. I am unable to sign in or retrieve a password using my email address (which is probably because I never entered an email address having used facebook to sign up originally). Is my account gone? If not, how can I access it now? I had it all set up with the shows I track and ones that I have watched and would HATE to have to start all over! Please help!

@Kendra
you say "and you'll be able to reset then log in with your SideReel username and that new password. "
Sadly that is not true. I tried to reset my password but when did put in the new password i arrive at: http://beta.sidereel.com/users/sign_in
when i now try to login it tells me:
"You have to confirm your account before continuing."
Please tell me how do i confirm my account? I never got an email or similar, also there is no button or link to do so.
I also cant create a new account because my email-address is already registered.-
I'm still having this problem as well. Not liking it.

I misunderstood the directions too ....
please email us at contact@sidereel.com including your name and your email address and we'll be happy to retrieve your username for you
Then you have to reset a password.. this is truley complicated and incovenient ...thats the problem-
I've already done all of that and STILL get the confirm message and am refused login.

If you were using Facebook to log in and did not have a SideReel account that you could use to log in, your TRACK LIST IS NOT LOST . Currently, you cannot log in only with Facebook. We will ad this feature back as soon as possible and you will be able to get back to your Tracker. If you had a SideReel account and linked it with your Facebook account, you can still log in with your SideReel account.

No, I really can't still log in.

Facebook log in should work again now! First, log in to Facebook. Then visit http://www.sidereel.com/_home. You may need to refresh the page a few times, but then you should be redirected to beta.sidereel.com and you'll see in the right corner that you are logged in with your Facebook connected account.

This is not working, I might be doing it wrong, and I'm probably not the only one, so it would be nice to do a step-by-step "connect to sidereel via Facebook" guide
-
Hi, the above answer is a step by step guide on how to do this currently, so if you're having trouble, can you let me know where in that process it goes wrong for you? Thanks!

And btw, there is no problem to connect to this freaking "get satisfaction" website using my facebook account, you should ask them how they do it
-
-
Not working at all... it has been weeks now. Can't see the entire TV schedule, can't connect with my normal or my Facebook account...
The new browsing system for links of an episode is rubbish, annoying to have to click on 1234567... the old Sidereel was way faster, easier, so much more performant...
Who had the idea to make these fake improvements?- view 2 more comments

What's happening when you try? That'll help me figure out what's going wrong so we can get it working!

Nothing happens it stays the same.
Do you think there is something going on with my web browser? Im using Safari.
I keep refreshing once I am logged in to Facebook, but it just doesn't change my FB connect status. -

Stop saying it works. it does not work. I click on your link, but it does not work. It does not sign me in. I can't sign in with my email address either, because it doesn't work even after changing my password.

Hi Chad, what's happening when you log into Facebook then visit SideReel? Are you refreshing the page a few times? This will get a better fix, but for now, as long as you're logged in on FB, and refresh on the site, you'll be logged in. As for another form or log in, you'd need to log in with a username, not your email address. If you've always just used FB connect and want to know your username, you can email us with your info so we can look up your username - contact@sidereel.com.

I have used firefox on 3 different computers. Nothing happens. I am always logged into facebook, but logging out and back in doesn't help. It never takes my log in.
-
Hi Chad, I tested it out on Firefox and it worked, though it did take about 3 or 4 refreshes of the site to get me logged in with Facebook. Try keeping your Facebook page open then refreshing sidereel.com in another tab a few times. That's what seems to be working fine, but if it still doesn't work for you, we'll be happy to look more into what might be going wrong. We can also look up your username if you'd like to log in with that instead. You can request that via email - contact@sidereel.com, but please let me know how another try at logging in via Facebook works too.

I have been a member for a long time, but I connected through facebook, just this morning I got logged out and I can't log back in. Have I lost all of my records of the shows I've watched? I was keeping track of episodes I haven't seen for a lot of shows. Please tell me this can be fixed, soon!

Hello,
I have had a sidereel account for ages, camille_elyse, that was connected to my facebook. However, I logged out of it today, logged in to my boyfriend's on my computer, and then tried to log back in to mine. It's as if I don't exist. I try to log in, and it says that my password is incorrect. I try to reset my password, and it says that none of my emails are registered to a sidereel account. I tried to just create an entirely new sidereel account, but it says that my username is already registered to someone, meaning me. I just want to be able to log back in. Help!
