This site is haunted!?

[islptng]

I cannot open this site on IE anymore. Also, I cannot log in anymore (Now I need to click on "I forgot my password" every time i want to log in.)

Can you be more specific? (e.g., post screenshots or error messages of what goes wrong when you try to access the site on IE?)

Edit: I might have an idea of what's going wrong when using IE to try to access the site now, and unfortunately that's unavoidable now -- it has security holes from 10+ years ago that we can't risk on our site anymore (bots/spammers are exploiting them too much). Updated browsers like Edge/Chrome/Firefox/Safari should all work.

How security holes in browser are related to security holes in website?

Firefox works. (Chromium doesn't work either now.)

I can log normally, but cannot change password.

Help! I keep getting sign-out messages whenever I try to edit my posts, comment, or do anything that being signed in would allow me to do! And them my progress doesn't save once I sign back in (I also get the message "The Submitted Form was Invalid. Please Try Again" the first time I press the sign in button, but it works to sign me in when I do it the second time)

I got three when trying to post this very question, and another two when trying to edit it.

Note that I can get to the edit/post screen, but when I try to submit my edit/comment, it goes to the sign-in page.

[...] "The Submitted Form was Invalid. Please Try Again" [...]

IIRC there's a checkbox in the login page, so if you check it then it will "remember" you longer.

If you are writing some long post, it is a good idea to write it in a text editor (outside the browser) and save it locally into a text file, so that it will not be accidentally lost.

Clicking "remember me" didn't completely help (some issues were fixed, but the option has to be reclicked and random logouts still occur)

CA patterns that used to work fail on both this website and old copies of lifeviewer, so lifeviewer is also haunted.

This page gave me a shock
