Some of you MAY find yourself unable to log in today, but you can read this forum so I am going to post this here.

I found myself unable to sign into B77 this morning, no matter how many times I typed in my login and password it refused to allow me entry. To get around this I deleted all my cookies (Tools -> Internet Options -> Delete Cookies button), praying I remembered all my passwords to get back into other places, cleared my cache (Tools -> Internet Options -> Delete Files button), and made sure that phpbber.com had the right to add third party cookies (Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy tab (at the top of the miniwindow) -> Sites button -> then read everything and add www.phpbber.com to "allow all").

After a cold reboot of my machine, I was able to access B77 again. Hopefully this will help anyone else who finds themselves locked out this morning.

It was funky for me last night too, Fixer. And this morning on my work machine...but not as funky as it was for you. :D

Has anyone else noticed that the time stamp is a few minutes off? I'll post something and it'll say I've posted at 9:00 when I know I posted at 9:10. It's not even really an annoyance, more of a confusion. Is this happening to other people too?

It's actually been that way for a long time, S_O. Kind of a pain for anything with a set starting time.

I couldn't log in either. Had to dump my cookies. Now I can't see the board77 banner. Anyone else have that problem?

I can see it if it is that thing in the upper lefthand corner that says, "Board 77"

I figured I couldn't be the only one having problems. Happy to help out.
