While I can log in here, and post, using my iPhone (very cumbersome to write, of course!), I can’t seem to log in on my laptop. And I’ve tried several browsers. Also, when I tried to write a post earlier today, before I logged off, nothing happened when I clicked “post message”.

I’ve alerted the administrator for help, but while I wait for a response, I was curious if anyone else is having similar problems?

No problems from Washington DC area.

Yes, I can't log-in anymore on my "newer" iMac. I can log-in on my older iMac in a different room. The only difference between the two is on the newer iMac I use a Wacom tablet and pen. I click log-in and nothing happens. It's really annoying.

Hmm. Strange. I’ve used the same laptop for three years without problems, so I don’t think it’s hardware-related for me.

Maybe it’s the board’s way of telling me I’m too long winded and that I should only post brief, iPhone-friendly messages from now on. wink

My iTunes wasn't working, you're having trouble logging in...

And now I just looked out my back window: 4 horsemen galloping across my lawn.

(Not to mention the plague of locusts we just suffered.)

Seriously, though, no issues with PC and Firefox/Chrome.

Ive been using the same two iMacs for over a decade. So I don't know why I can't log-in anymore on one of the two. Maybe we've both been banned and we don't know it. wink

Of course you'd know about it. There would be a thread about it. smile

The thought has occurred to me. Wouldn’t that be something?

Okay I isolated it to the pop up sign in box not showing when I click on log-in on FireFox. I 'm able to log-in on Chrome and Safari. Still not sure if its a site issue or an issue on my end. Probably a pop up blocker issue but I don't recall making any changes.

Then your problem seems different from mine. As I said in the other thread, I type in username and password, the fields are cleared and the log-in box resets. Again and again. No log in happens. Bizarre.

I tried to register a new user too, but when I click the ‘agree’ button on the first page, that page just resets too.

When you try to log-in do you get a pop up box for signing in? Its really an archaic way of doing things.

Sure, I get the box. But the typing won’t “take”. Box just reloads. Actually, a little something happens when I type in and enter - the box goes from green to turkoise. But no log in.

Okay thanks, yes I think we are having different issues. Very strange!

I also cannot use the search engine and nothing happens when I try to go back more days in the roll-down window. Also, the ‘post message’ didn’t work back when I discovered this problem. So for me, I think it has something to do with the interaction between the post boxes and the “command buttons” on the page. Strange that it happened out of the blue a few days ago. It’s not browser-related as the same problem appears in all browsers. Can’t be computer-related either since I’ve been using the same laptop to post on FSM for three years.

Phew, this post alone was a hassle to write on my iPhone…

Ever the pessimist, I’m fearing my days on FSM are over.

Ive never been able to search back more than a few days of posts (like two pages worth) even if I choose to search the last 100 days.

Still no luck, Thor? Haven't seen you around, and it's been nearly a day. And I asked you a question about IMAGES on the other side of the board. If you're bloody well interested enough you'll bloody well find a way to see it, and to reply.

Still no luck, no. I’ve established contact with Lukas; we’re trying a few things. But I won’t post or browse much untill we’ve succeeded, or not. I’ll let you know. If we don’t succeed, I’ll have to enter a new phase on FSM where I mostly lurk, perhaps post the occasional one-sentence post on my iPhone.

This message took me 4 minutes to write.

I feel for you. I could never interact on a board like this from my iPhone. Ugh!

Two weeks later, and I FINALLY found out what was causing the log-in issues: The virus program BitDefender. It has worked fine for years (it was one of the most highly recommended free virus programs), but two weeks ago, something must have happened with it that prevented me from logging into FSM (and Dropbox too, it turns out). I have now uninstalled the software, and can log in on my laptop again! Hooray! I have lots of threads to catch up on now.

I thought I was a "goner", but I can now disappoint all my mortal FSM enemies; I'll be staying around a bit longer. wink
