It's to the point I have to login every time I come back. Anybody else?🤔
I've just had to log in so I could say yes, we all seem to be getting this from time to time, and sometimes it doesn't happen for a while, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
I've also been noticing the system struggling for an unusually long time to upload even a very brief post which doesn't even include photo attachments. Also when I click on "Forums" at the top of the home page I sometimes get straight in, and sometimes I just see a little dot going back and forth and I have to click back and forth between "Forums" at the top of the page and "Browse the Forums" at the foot of the page before it can be persuaded to let me in. No big deal (so far) but it sometimes looks as if the system is struggling a little.

just experienced the login issue and have been experiencing similar long delays to Graeme
I know this is frustrating. As I have mentioned before, it is almost always browser-related. Your browser often updates in the background. This can cause glitches on many of your favorite sites until they catch up or release a patch, which also happens in the background. This is probably why this issue comes and goes for some. Meanwhile, here are a few things you should be doing periodically:
1. Clear your cache (this will show up somewhere in your browser settings). Clear all your history and start clean. Your entire browsing history is stored in the cache: every page you've visited, every image you downloaded, etc., it's all there. When it gets lengthy, it can slow things down and interfere with logins and page loading.
2. Restart your computer
3. Restart your wi fi router (do this before you restart your computer: turn the computer off, then restart the router, then restart the computer).

@jkuvakas Thanks John, all cache and browing history cleared, hopefully that fixes it 😊🤔
Funny enough I complained about this several weeks ago. The issue was on the cell; the laptop was fine. About a week ago it resolved itself on the phone. Ghost in the system...

I very rarely use the computer anymore, mostly my phone for convenience I guess, lol. I did have to login again this morning.🤔
