It is definitely something at your end.

I replaced your encrypted password with mine, directly in the database (so I have no idea what your password it).
I can log in as nutwood into the forum.
I can log in as nutwood on the main site.

As CR suggests, this looks like a cookie issue and that's something on your computer that we can't resolve.

Interesting. Whatever you have done has fixed the problem. I was struggling to see it as an issue at this end as, during the time I've been having the problem, there's been a lot of changes at my end, including a new, larger SSD installed. Cookies have been cleared numerous times, as has just about everything else that could be cleaned up without losing actual files.
Anyway, I tried today and logged straight in to the main site. The forum I have always been able to log into so all's good. Now I just have to find where I wrote down the co-ordinates of the cache I hid in the NT!

We have done nothing, good to hear it's working.

Seems to have come good since C@W did his log in as this was the first time I've tried since then. It was a weird problem as it wasn't ignoring the password. With a correct password, it would return to the main page but I wouldn't be logged in, however an incorrect password brought up the password error message. It was thought I was being logged out, the instant I was logged in.

Hi. There is a problem with the Line Intersect tool in the Toolbox. I understand it is in Beta stage, but I can't even try it because there are only 3 text boxes instead of 4. "Co-ordinates(3)" has a heading, but no way to enter the coordinates.

Thanks.
A styling issue render the boxes incomplete.
Should be working now.

Thanks. Looking good now.

I am trying to do one of the Locationless jigsaw puzzles (GA14609) and to log it I need to enter a codeword. But when I click on the button to get the codeword (presumably I tell it what the word was the jigidi thing gave me when I completed it) I get the message

This geocache is not a type that may have questions and answers.

I see Shifter Brains had the same problem on this cache.

GA14609. When I completed the Jig Saw I had no problem with this one.

Did you have to generate a codeword? I tried the one Jigidi had given me but that didn't work.

Codeword appears when you complete the Jig Saw and when you log your find there is a box under the emoji's to enter that word

Ahh, I had tried it in all caps as displayed, or with the first letter capitalised and the rest lower case. It worked with it all in lower case. A trap for the unwary. Have edited my log to provide it as a pointer for others. Thanks.

This has nothing to do with the site. The geocacher who set up the geocache incorrectly created a virtual with a Q&A section, then converted it to a locationless with the hopes the Q&A would carry across. That functionality is not guaranteed as locationless geocaches do not have Q&A capability. So you get the message because there is a false Q&A section on a geocache type that does not permit it. The owner simply needs to add a codeword (vs. Q&A) as that capability is supported.

Codewords are not case sensitive. I did a test with the codeword in all uppercase and it works fine.

Thanks, I noticed that before I had tried my 3rd and successful time the CO had also made a tweak of some sort.

Dear Faeries,
Just a minor problem of 2 duplicate logs on GCA. They are 2 GC caches....have checked both sites and their is only 1 log on each of the GC caches.
The 2 duplicate logs are
Columnar Basalt
Reconciliation Revisited
Both logged on 11 April 2017

If one of the log finds for each cache could be deleted...that would be awesome...and most appreciated.
