Noticed last night and again today, upon logging into the forum, I get the same screen as if it had failed. I noticed (the second time I tried last night, that I was "online" per the member list at the bottom of the page, but only got the intro topics as if I wasn't.

Pressing the "new posts" button or the "forum" button took me away from the logon page and thereafter it acknowledges me by name as logged on (upper right.)

It's only a problem, per se, if people don't realize their logon attempt worked. But even as an old hand with such, I almost left to try another day... and as I said, it happened today again.
