WHERE’S THE BEEF? The Lion Ate It……

November 13, 2008 |

I have a beef with the LionBrand website.  It’s a great site - oodles of free patterns for crochet (and knit), great pictures of yarn and finished garments, etc.  I have no beef with that.  It’s all good.

But, why in the name of all things sane can they NOT figure out how to set their sign-in configuration so that I don’t have to dig out my password EVERY time I try to visit the site?  I’ve emailed them and have received several replies over the past few months.  The write back about cookies and blockers and such.  Have not much clue what they’re talking about - BUT I do know that I do not have this problem with ANY other free crochet site to which I belong!

If they had inferior yarn or yucky patterns, I wouldn’t care that I have difficulty entering their site.  Do you suppose they think that their site should be more secure than, say, Fort Knox??

They really need to fix this!  I have heard from others that I’m not the only person who has had this problem.  LIONBRAND - are ya’ out there listening???

    Amen to that. I am so sick of it that I quit visiting entirely.

    I have a password that I use for multiple Websites–any site that doesn’t have my personal or financial information.

    KATHY, I do this too. But, the LB site and Facebook simple don’t like me. Facebook refuses to recognize my password 30 seconds after I set it up - again and again. LB never recognizes my password twice in a row. So, I just give up unless the stars are aligned properly and the site lets me in to browse patterns. Makes me feel persecuted ;-(

    Me too!

    I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’ve just stopped going.

    I hate to say this, but I totally disagree with all the comments but I also don’t use Internet Explorer. I use Firefox. You ought to try it! I avoid IE like the plague!

    KIRSTEN, appreciate your comments altho’ I always use Firefox unless a site won’t work properly with it. In fact, I haven’t tried the LB site with IE. Might give it a try. jd

    You’re definitely not the only one having this problem with LionBrand’s site! Tried plugging in yesterday via an email from them…and it didn’t recognize password AGAIN. I’m sitting here slapping myself (and my computer), but after reading your post I realize that I’ve been slapping the wrong person/thing…:) :)
