Logging in problems

Hi,
I see Flatty recently had problems logging in - as did I. It was odd, I got locked out for no apparent reason and then even changing passwords didn't help. There seems no way to contact the site admins if you have problems, says there's a problem with the form?
I gave up until I was notified I had a message from Kev L - can one of the site Admins check this out so if it happens again we can resolve via the forum?

Hi, had the same problem, and could not log in for almost 2 weeks. I use Firefox. I ha a brainwave and used Chrome and managed to log in. As you say, if you can't log in, one can't contact Admin. I contacted Admin once I logged in vie Chrome, but have not had a reply.

Firefox is also coming up that the site is unsafe/unsecure.

If you read the small print of the firefox alert it's just some legacy emedded images that are still http

I am fully aware of that. That still does not explain why some could not sign in for almost 2 weeks. I can now, and have been able to for the last few days. So there was a problem, now it's gone. The point was that one could not contact anybody to let them know of a problem. It was also the same on different computers before you start to say that they are at fault or is is cookie's ect.
