I went in to change my password and fiddled with some other stuff–I don’t recall exactly what–and now that I want to go back and fiddle around with some other stuff, it won’ t let me in. It says the administrators have either disabled the page or something. 😕

Yeah, me too. What happened was that in the last 15 minutes or so, Tuba temporarily disabled Edit Profile so as to disable the Change Member Status thingie and to change all the creative members back to just plain “members”. See the “Thanks Admins” thread somewhere around here in ATMB.

Thank you, **DDG**. Whew! I thought I’d messed up something. 🙂
