Somewhat the same as last night.
Went to log in.
Got the tikkety-boo blow off.
Shut the page off and walked away from it for over an hour.
(Tank maintenance and fish to feed, you see.

).
Came back and just like last night the users online list showed me as logged in, but actually wasn't. (It was well over an hour).
Clicked on reply to this thread and was prompted to log in.
Oh...BTW, clearin' cookies, etc. seems to help.
I think I know what to do straight away next time to avoid the wait (attempt login/shut page down/bring back up/clear cookies/click on a reply to thread, any thread/in like Flint) (or something like that). But still, this is a major pain in da behind.
Cheers
