Login Problems
I have had to reset my password twice today despite my laptop and tablet both having it saved. I am now on my tablet but cannot login on my laptop. I prefer using my laptop but fear if I reset my password again I will be locked out on my tablet. Is there an issue with the MSE forum server today?
Forum Clock an hour slow (again)
for those not logged in the forum clock has yet to be changed from GMT to BST as it is for those that are logged in, you have had 4 working days to change it. This happens twice a year EVERY year, I ask, how difficult can it be?
