Hi --
Starting last night and continuing through most of today I've been unable to log in to the forums; I tried at intervals, but kept getting a message telling me the session had timed out, although all I'd done was put info into the login boxes and immediately click enter.
Quitting browser didn't work; and I tried with both Chrome and Firefox -- both are old versions (I can't upgrade without buying a new computer, am using an old Mac OS). I was able to log in at least two other sites at which I need to use a login, so the problem may not be at my end, though they may be using different systems. I finally got logged in by attempting to reply to a private message -- I don't know whether the problem has fixed itself permanently, however, so will drop this here now while I've got the chance.
Edited to add: still have the problem, though I can still log in on the page that comes up if I click on the reply link in the private message email; and that does seem to log me in on the board as a whole. Fimbulvarg replied in the note-of-absence thread with another workaround, using the link in the board's toolbar instead of the login boxes at the top of page; I'll try that next time.
