New forum: first I couldn't login. Then I could. Now I can't

I started out this mess trying to figure out where you guys had hidden my IBM account.

Seriously, I had set it up over 10 years ago. How’m I supposed to know what to set up?

The linked “help / send me info” pages were singularly uninformative.

In desperation I started googling through ridiculous searches and stumbled over a web page that told me the IBM account had been set to an email address. So I checked on my email addresses.

Hooray, I was in!

For a day. Or two.

Now, a week later, my email address isn’t recognized.

and then a few minutes later, my emal address is working great.

OK, so what’s going on with this new discussion site where it didn’t know me, then it did know me, then it doesn’t know me, then it does know me?
