Does anyone else have trouble logging in?

Post by spreadingwarmth »

Despite requesting that the forums remember me, I still get timed out. When I try to log back in, almost every time the forum doesn't accept my username and password. I have to keep trying and on the 3rd or 4th attempt it usually will take. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I'm sorry about this. It's something which I think every user of this site is suffering from these days.

The issue has been discussed behind the scenes. But so far the problems have not been resolved, as you have not failed to notice. :?

Ah okay Brian. At least I know it’s not something I’m doing wrong.

I've had problems the last few days to the extent I resorted to setting up account number 2!

Lots of login problems for me over many months already.
1. The login on the front page almost never works.
2. The forum always want to log me out.
If I want to make an uninformed guess, I think the problem might lie in the content delivery network possibly caching outdated material.

Thanks for the tip.
You are most certainly not the only one experiencing those problems. The issues are being addressed, but tips like yours are very welcome.

Thanks to a major effort by our site owner Tytn, who has engaged expert help, we are hoping that the access problems have been solved (in addition to a software upgrade and other ongoing administrative tasks). Huge thanks to Tytn and his technical supporter for this effort. From my perspective it has worked completely and I am no longer experiencing problems logging in or being thrown off the system.

If anyone else is still experiencing problems, please let us know.
