I'm assuming many patrons can't login right now. Hopefully, it will be corrected soon.

    I logged in a couple of times in Safari and Chrome. I don't use firefox anymore so I couldn't try that. Have you tried logging in with one of those?

    Was it fixed by FS? Or is it a bug related to some variable?

    I will keep logging in with Firefox as single day for a while and I will let you know if I notice anything.

    I am glad FS is working on it.

    m said: No, that was a previous Login bug symptom. No error, just reload the sign-in page when you sign in correctly. (Not a hard lock out, you are signed in, you just can't get in because the wrong page is loading.)

    This was a red error hard lock out message. You are locked out. You are not signed in when you signed in correctly.

    (This should make sense compared to previous Login computer bugs but if it doesn't I can try to re-phrase.)
