<p>Always going down right as I click "save." :P. I think the technical crew has something against me. :D.</p>
<p>Let's make a thread about MyMIT troubles. Lost my password once. And since I don't believe in making password retrieval security codes that I have any chance of reproducing or remembering, and heh, that was one heck of an experience getting my account back. I didn't use to go to MyMIT often, so several months after getting my account locked trying out passwords, I called and got it unlocked.</p>
<p>Thirty minutes later, whoops! Locked again.</p>
<p>This is why whenever you are filling out long online forms, you paste it into notepad or something so if your session is expired, you don't lose all your work.</p>
<p>A lesson learned by many lost forms :P</p>
<p>There should be some easier way to read the blogs without signing up for MyMIT at all.</p>
<p>Oh, you can -- you can subscribe to the RSS feed for each, and then read it in your preferred RSS reader. I like Firefox's Live Bookmarks, but Google just came out with an okay [url=<a href="http://www.google.com/reader/lens%5Dreader%5B/url">http://www.google.com/reader/lens]reader[/url</a>].</p>
<p>And while you're at it, if you don't do RSS feeds yet, you can still start with any one of the blogs (e.g. Ben's or Matt's or :) Mollie's :) ) and click through to the others from the right-hand column.</p>
<p>(I think Timur was complaining about parts of his essays going POOF! on the MyMIT online application entry, though, not commenting on the blogs.)</p>
<p>Soon we will be moving the blogs outside of the password so that everyone can see them. The login will then be for app tracking, FinAid tracking, overnight program reg, etc. Should be live in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>Sorry for the MyMIT troubles Timur. You should report them when they happen...</p>
<p>I have, don't worry, and they've been fixed. This post is actually pretty old.</p>
<p>And I work on all my stuff in microsoft word, I just hate that every time I'm ready to update it seems like MyMIT either has a problem or is down for maintenence. Murphy's Law. ;-)</p>
<p>Once upon a time a few weeks ago on my MIT application, I filled in a list of activities, went to take a crap, ate some yogurt, then came back to save my MIT application. But alas! It was too late, i took too long.
Next day, I came back to fill in the lost info, suddenly a 1 MINUTE BLACKOUT hit! Can you believe that? Is that a sign from god or something???
arrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh.
lol, I learned my lesson, now im paranoid about saving my info.</p>
<br>
<p>_>; ingrained behavior?</p>
<br>
<p>Conditioned.
MyMIT works fine for me...most of the time.</p>
<p>Overall, I actually like MyMIT. Now that I'm seriously working on another school's online application, I see how beautiful, simple, and structured MIT's is.</p>
<p>Indeed. I especially love the app tracking thing.</p>
<p>Yea. MyMIT is quite good compared to some others. from some other country (i.e. UK).</p>
