Just after the one login "experience," I had attempted to create 3 new forum logins, using 3 different email addresses.
I got the confirmation messages, I confirmed, I am "logged in" and am NOT logged in.
When one of them worked, I got the error about I did not have the permission to post.
I sent messages to the website manager via the form.
Mid-last week I tried again to create a new forum account, with one of the previous email addresses, which was accepted. (Obviously the previous user "creation" were not such.)
Got the email confirmation, confirmed. And same result: cannot login.
Just now I attempted to log in and the same result: not logged in and NO error.
Have any new user accounts actually been created in the past 2 weeks?
-----------------------------------
I did not want to combine my accounts. The process was not clear. I did not find any opt-out option.
But now I am instructed to change how I want to login. Should have been a choice during the procedure.
This should not have been a mostly user responsible transition.
