Good, I'm glad it works. I wonder why it did not work when you tried it earlier?

No idea, I tried first with the "Delete cookies" link at the bottom of the page, without luck; now I've deleted the cookies manually (using the browser settings/options) and that works.

Not sure why you are having issues. Seems to work with others. Are you deleting cookies from here:Rev_Stuart_Campbell wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 3:26 pm This is an absolute shitshow. Even deleting cookies I can't get in with Chrome, had to use another browser for this.

Yes, I'm now testing Chrome (Android) and I can go in only opening a private win, deleting the cookies seems not work properly in this browser (no idea why).PeterJ wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 3:41 pmNot sure why you are having issues.

Are you deleting the cookies for the browser setting, or via the button on the forum.
I'm using Chrome on Android, and since clearing cookies (via the Chrome browser settings) this morning I've been online all day.

Is it really that much of a ball-ache to simply press login? Christ it takes less than 5 seconds.Rev_Stuart_Campbell wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 3:26 pm This is an absolute shitshow. Even deleting cookies I can't get in with Chrome, had to use another browser for this.

I think the problem is more than that. Before clearing the cookies, the forum didn't recognize my password once, twice, ... when logging in, so I cleared SC cookies and it finally went ok.stupidget wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:50 pmIs it really that much of a ball-ache to simply press login?

Maybe more people had the same issue.

The old one being there stopped you being able to get in. Just clear your cookies as others have done and you will be sorted.

Calm down dear (said in a Michael Winner voice) just clear your cookies. I had the same problem in Chrome, cleared cookies and now I can log back in.Rev_Stuart_Campbell wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 7:03 pmYou're not listening. Logging in doesn't work. The password gets rejected.

Try to clear cookies + cache on chrome.
Selecting "time range - all time" may help.

I too ran into this issue with Firefox on my Mac. Using Google Chrome to log in was fine so that pinpointed the problem to just Firefox. Deleting the cookies related to this forum in Firefox did the trick for me as well and I didn't even need to close and restart the browser.

What duration have you deleted cookies for [mention]Rev_Stuart_Campbell[/mention]? The default option is
for just 1 hour.

As was pointed out before, the problem with Chrome seems to be mainly the period of time (at least it was my case). By default it deletes the last 24 hours, you have to modify that to delete all (or manually delete the spectrumcomputing and .spectrumcomputing cookies).

Just putting this thread back at the top to make this help more visible. I think some user would need it. Yesterday was J. Railton asking in a FB group about this.

Maybe this thread (or the other one "please read if you are unable to log in") should be pinned to the top? (If that's possible).

Making the post 'Sticky' keeps it at the top of the posts for the sub-forum, but not for the recent posts area on the top right. I've emailed as many users as I can, and posted on Twitter. I will post on this thread every now and then to bring it back to the top.

Can I just add that on Chrome browser, for mobile phone it's found under :
Chrome > Settings > Advanced > Site Settings > Data stored
At least it is on my Android mobile phone.
Hope that helps somebody.
