OK, so here's something weird ...

#1
You may not hear from me for a while now. I've found that I can log in to HN while in Private Browsing mode, but not while in normal mode. Even getting the password recovery message, clicking the link, resetting my password, doesn't help.

There are times when I really, really hate computers. All they do is get in the way of the work I actually want to be accomplishing.

So until I stumble across the bizarre, magical, unguessable incantation that make HN work again for me, I'm unlikely to post.

Are you sure you haven't been banned? Seems to have happened to me in an older account - could't log in and password reminder didn't work.

I can log in when I'm using Private Browsing, with both my current account and my old account. I can't log in with either account when I'm not using Private Browsing. I can't see how those symptoms would arise if I'd been banned.

Me too, including password reset. Does not work in FF. Does not work in FF's private browsing mode. Does not work in Chrome. Deleting cookies does not help.

Does work in Chrome's private mode.
