Before attempting to log in on the Forums, go to the Wiki, open a page, and Log In there. When successfully logged in on the Wiki, THEN go to the Forums. Seems to be working from there.

Can an admin put such a temporary message at the top of the Forums page?

It’s also at the bottom of the Status page – <https://status.opensuse.org/&gt;

It wasn’t when I posted this. There was no mention of the problem on the Status page at that time.
