Logging in to my "Personal Investments" ? No.
Logging in to Bogleheads.org , Yes.
Probably should have posted in this in the "Forum Issues and Administration" forum rather than "personal investments"

This thread is now in the Forum Issues and Administration forum (problem logging in). I also retitled the thread for clarity.

It's working fine for me.

(Thanks to the member who reported the post and explained what's wrong.)

Thanks for the responses. Turns out that the problem was that I use a VPN. This was never a problem in the past and I'm not sure what changed but once I turned off the VPN I was able to log in. Live and learn.

For the last several weeks I have to logon to BH each time I return. In the past I remained logged on between visits for weeks at a time. Has something changed?

I'm using Chrome browser. VPN shows as off.

Anyone else experience recent logon requirements? Any suggestions for a fix?

The most common reason is that you need to check the "Remember me" box under the password field. Otherwise, you'll get logged out when you try to post.

Clearing your browser's cache will also log you out of the forum (cookies are cleared).
