Here is what I did....only took 5 or 6 days to figure it out.
Logged on - got a password/UserID error. Requested password reset - got it and changed the password.
After fighting the logon...and setting the password two or three times, I wondered if the UserID had changed:
In the old days, the UserID was my email address - Ricoh
CHANGED THAT.
I discovered that the UserID is the
display name for your gallery. In my case it was <FirstName><Middle Initial><LastName> all concatenated into a single word, no spaces, no punctuation. Now I can get in without issue, I have not uploaded anything and every week or so I look at the "list" for voting. I have found it interesting that the majority of images to be judged have been *ist D, *ist Ds, K10D with a few K20D. I wonder if they are guiding the selection towards what you have listed in your profile. So far, absolutely no K-3 II images. Makes me think that no one is submitting images...but then again I am a bit paranoid and on the other hand - I have five fingers.
