I frequently had problems logging into the forums, or at least something like that.
I would start up the forums, and it identified me by name and icon. However, any time I tried to reply to a message I got an invite to sign up for the forms. Finally I noticed that it only happened when I was at my kidney dialysis clinic. I remembered that once before I had tried to access a streaming service that I subscribed to, and I got the message "this service only available in US".
I asked a technician there whether their internet is from a service in US. He said no, it comes from a VPN based in Germany. Sure enough in checking, this happens only when I am at the clinic. I never have the problem at home. So I no longer use the forum at the clinic. Anyone else have this problem?
