If anybody has had trouble logging in recently (if you've had a problem then you know what I'm talking about) try clicking on the link for the Members Only forum. That will take you to a different login prompt that doesn't have the same problem. Good luck!

I usually just fill the login info with gibberish/wrong password, or leave it blank, and click it, and it takes me to the nicer login page (with a "keep me logged in" option!).

Thanks for this. Filed for future reference :-)

That's interesting. For the last year or so, every time I have attempted to log in using that second page it has failed. The main log in tab usually works OK, but if I do what you described it doesn't.
