I was unable to log-in to the Forums this afternoon at 3:55 pm and 4:35 pm EST.
Earlier today and now I was successful with logging-in.
I had a similar problem one day about a week ago.

Sequence of events:
On RR home page select Forum from blue bar
Forum main menu and log-in page appears.
On Forum log-in page I entered my User Name and password.
Next I got the redirecting screen indicating I had logged in; then the Forum log-in page reappeared, with blank space for User Name and password.

Rebooting computer and establishing new connection with ISP did not cure the problem at the time it occurred.

Any ideas?

Hi guys,

Try logging out and clearing your browser cookies. Oftentimes a stale cookie is the cause of login issues. :)

Thank you for providing this guidance. I will use it the next time I encounter this problem.

Now this reminded me that we all have to watch out for stale cookies, especially after Christmas--Bah humbug :eek:

Your master site
I had this happen a few days ago. I would log in and it would kick me back to the main page without me being logged in. I had to login a few times before it would stick. Not a cookie issue on my end; I think the server is just having some issues lately.
