It's true there's some problems. Once in awhile I seem to get locked out . Although opting for the ' remember me' log in tick box it often doesn't...and being absent minded I often forget my password. In times gone by I'd get a rapid response to my reset password requests. This time I didn't get any response despite a number of requests. Fortunately I remembered my password otherwise that'd have been the end of my time on the forum.
I guess this is just the fact that we're an elderly forum and many folks interests have gone elsewhere.
Can't be helped and I remain grateful to the guys who keep the engine running.
