Hey,
The 'Go to newest unread post' feature, the one where you click the little arrow-box next to the thread topic, wasn't working very well, so I changed the cookie settings of the forum to hopefully try to make it work a bit better.
This means that you're old cookies will probably be invalid, and it's a good idea to go clear them out.
In Firefox 3, you can do this by going to Preferences -> Privacy -> Show Cookies and searching for electrical.com and deleting those cookies. Go back to the forum index, and log in again.
HOWTO clear cookies on other browsers
Thanks.

You're not the boss of me!
I mean, thank you, Russ. I appreciate all of your fine efforts towards the forum.

I spent a few minutes noticing I was logged out and being unable to log back in before I rememered about this. Be prepared to be inundated with "HALP I CANT LOG IN OMG AM I BANND" emails.
If you are still on Firefox 2.0, as I am, it's Options->Privacy->Show Cookies. If you're using another browser, I can't help your sorry ass.

For those who had to learn this on a Mac like I did because you've never had to do this in years, go to Safari>Preferences>Security>Show Cookies>search for electrical and delete those.
Fuck.

I can think of no possible reason that this would affect iTunes. What do you mean exactly by "shit the bed?"

Oh, fuck. Without the valid cookies, I couldn't see this thread, and was caught in a login loop. Clearing cookies (seemed like a reasonable step) solved it, and now I see why. Sorry bout the emails, Russ!

I was pissed that the forum was down, and complained to noise&light on the phone about how I missed my "fix."
She schooled me.
Thanks for doing all this thankless forum stuff.
