On a positive note, I’ve stayed logged in since last night, when I forgot to turn off my computer. ---

Same messages for me as with the OP, and about the same time as he started this thread. I finally gave up but just had to close the window, as I was unable to log out properly. All seems to be working now. ---

While y’all were attempting repeatedly to log on yesterday; I cut my grass, weedwhacked, did some brush cutting, felled a dead tree, and manicured my hops plants. Everything is working fine this morning; looks like we’ve survived the worst the North Koreans could throw at us. ---
