You're right, Artist; I looked at the membership list and saw the other person and read the post. The person previously went by a different user name.

Thanks both of you, I'm so tired of trying I'm giving up for now..Lara I'll PM you if I need to, thanks again

Did you try logging in at the top of the forum instead of in a reply screen? That is what works for me, while logging in in a reply screen doesn't.

Oh yes, logged in everywhere possible, no go
My computer is quite old, still on Mac OS 9 - so it may be they've designed the new site for the most recent browsers with go-faster javascript. Dunno, but I can't spend any more time on it.
Thanks so much for your suggestions, though,
all the best.

If you sign in on the log in box, at the top right of the screen, you should get a pop up box that says the system is signing you on.

When that's done, the system should direct you automatically back to the board/forum you were looking at.

It APPEARS like you are not signed in, but you probably are.

So . . . click at the top left where it says "BrainTalk" (see above here, where it says "Brain Talk 2 Communities"?), and the screen will 'refresh', and show that you are actually signed in now. (Your log-in name etc. will be visible). You can go anywhere you want after that . . .

This is what I always have to do.

Then again, you could just stay here.

Thanks, followed your instructions twice, no dice. It gives me a vbulletin message if I try to do anything saying "you are not logged in etc", so I log in again, it says "welcome the artist u r logged in u will be automatically redirected", I get the page then try to do something (PM someone, actually) then it all happens again, refreshing makes no difference - on the forums I have the "u may not post/edit etc). **SO**infuriating.

Anyway, I do have another PC laptop with Windows/Firefox. I'll try it on that tomorrow.
For now I'll just go bang my head repeatedly against a brick wall.

(I wonder how many of the 1600 members can actually use the place!?).

Thanks for your help everyone - BTW oh yes I'm staying here, you bet. Rooted to the spot like a limpet
all the best.

I had the same problem, for about 1 second it welcomed me, sent me to a screen that said I would be redirected in 15 seconds...


I don't remember how I did it, but was able to get in. In fact I may have been on my computer, but l was logged in on my daughters window account.
Otherwise I can't remember exactly how I got past that screen.

Solved it! I tried from my windows/firefox laptop and got straight in, so I think the problem on my mac is that it's an older system; since JL has the newest version of vbulletin I'll hazard a guess that you need a recent op system and browser to connect.

So, very many thanks everyone, much appreciated,
all the best

Ah .. I'm sorry, I had missed the part about your having a Mac - I don't know anything about Mac computers ... except that I don't know anything about them!
Glad you can log in now. - Theresa
