I still can’t post from Tapatalk. It shows no new posts, nothing I’ve subscribed to and has no reply button anywhere. The only thing I can do from it is read, like stuff and get around via the forum tags. Sucks. On a different note though, gotta give a shout out to whoever came up with sockosis and socksquatch. You guys get 100 internet points today. ---

You guys get 100 internet points today. Agree! I also like Sockie McSockFace too. But not as much, so, 95 points. ---

I had to log in again this morning. This is not normal. On the other hand, Chrome remembered my new password. ---

I had trouble logging in at first this morning. It thanked me for logging in but the page that then loaded had me NOT logged in. This happened several times. After I got to a page by clicking on a link I was then able to login. I assume that, until I clicked on a link, I had a stale hash or UID (or whatever it is) in the URL. I don’'t totally understand this new security scheme (because I’m not supposed to!) but there may be some unsolvable issues that come with it. ---

I’m still having trouble with the Board remembering my log-in. I’ll log in, it will accept it and transfer me to the Main page, but then I have to log in again to be able to post. Annoying. ---

I’ll log in, it will accept it and transfer me to the Main page, but then I have to log in again to be able to post. Annoying. I suppose it would be to a lot of people. I have to enter 3 passwords to do anything with my computer, so one more for each of many additional applications is hardly noticeable, and that additional one is usually managed for me and all I have to do is click one or two more times. ---

Test post. Took me 7 tries to log in on my desktop, finally arrived here. I can log in and read with Tapatalk, but cannot post, cannot subscribe, cannot report posts, cannot start new threads. I “do not have permission” for those. Let us see what happens here, from desktop. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > nm I think I got an email from your original post, before you found the answer and changed it. Whatever…it looks like the current state of the board is configured to **not** accept logins quite as readily as before (guess why?), so getting logged out is going to be a common occurrence for a while, I’m thinking. We’re not back to "normal " yet, whatever that is. ---

I can’t seem to stay logged in at all. Switching to a different sub-board logs me out always. Switching to a new thread on the same one does sometimes. Sometimes it happens for no discernible reason at all. ---

…and another thing, look how I’m listed: GUEST! I’m not a guest. Trust me, you don’t want me to be your guest. I pay my dues and I joined in **1905** (we paid our dues with a Liberty Head nickle and got change back then). I demand to be listed, “Charter Member”, or maybe “Member Extraordinaire.” ---
