Also Can't Login

Earlier today someone posted a thread entitled "cannot log in." I thought this was funny, since they had a user ID. I logged out so that I could post back with the exact steps to log in. Well they were right, there is no login link or button! There is only "Register" (in fact there are THREE Register links - one in the upper right of the blue bar, one in the green bar below it, and one in the sidebar (it's a SIGN UP button, but all 3 go to the same registration page). This computer was the only device I was logged in on, so I am effectively locked out of the forum unless I re-register with a new user name. I tried two different browsers, latest version of Chrome and Firefox, and it's the same on both. Apparently, the OP failed to mention that they were already a member under a different user name.

This seems to have gotten overlooked in the site redesign, so DON'T LOG OUT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.

UPDATE: When I went to send the above message as a non-logged-in guest, it prompted me to register or login if I was already a member. THIS IS THE ONLY LOGIN LINK, and it's in a very non obvious place.

same login issue for me, posting a reply here allowed me to see and use the login button
 
Do you see "Register" in the top navigation? Just to the left do you see a dimmed Log In button? It should be there... the colors are just whack so it is hard to see.

Yes, Register appears in 3 places:
  1. at the very top-right in the dark blue bar
  2. two rows down in the green bar
  3. in the sidebar (it's labeled "SIGN UP" but it goes to the same Register page)
Nothing is visible to the left of the top-right "Navigation" though now that you've told me where to look, I see it when I mouse over it. I'm guessing it's totally invisible on a mobile device with no mouse. Maybe the JavaScript onmouseover and onmousedown events are reversed?

I can't seem to find a place to change my password either...am afraid to logout & try to log back in since there is currently no e-address associated with my account, just my login-name.
