I've got the same problem, and the same had Mariannese who in her post titled Logins problem solved, explain how to bypass the log in problem.
In short, instead of going directly to reader's paradise you've got to go through a more general forum access
I post the link
the strange thing is, that I, for example can't access directly to reader's paradise from my office computer, but I can easily do it from home computer
go figure

Here is a link that might be useful: for the ones who have log in troubles

It's a little more subtle than that.

I think Gardenweb, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to "rationalize" their login procedures. But I think they forgot that the Glyphs website has its own login pages.

This is the link you need to login. Once you've done that, click on the "forums" link and find your way back to us and you'll be fine.

I wondered if it might be a problem with certain browsers....especaily as Grelobe has had trouble with one computer getting through but not the other. I've had no trouble either (so far; cross fingers....)

sorry Martin but it doesn't work that way.
I repeat , from the computer I've got at my office every time I connect I have to register in order to be able to post in the forum.
I have to type my username and password , then I flag the "save this information.... " but it is useless, because when I disconnct from the web and later I connect again, I must to register mysels again , I really don't know why it is useless to flag "save this information...
All this from my office, from home no problem
instead if I follow Mariannese instruction I can enter and come out every time I like also from my office

Grelobe - I have the same issue - only with me it's fine in the office but no good at home. Heaven know why. It's not a browser issue, either - I use Firefox at home and work.

But the link I posted is the login link you require. Once you use that, then you can use the forum front page you posted. The point is, the original login link from the glyphs page no longer seems to work.

Let's face it - RP has never been quite the same since GardenWebs took it over, and then iVillage took them over.

Sigh.

I can usually get access from my laptop at home but sometimes have to put my details in again to post. No idea why this happens. As soon as I type the first 'a' of annpan the rest, including the password, comes up!

I continued to have trouble for a couple of days after the notice went up that most problems were solved. Logging on from the main page did not work for me. I contacted the site admins using the Contact Us link at the very bottom of the page. They responded, and the next day my problem was solved. I would urge anyone still having difficulties to get in touch with the technical people behind GW for help.

Eureka! At last I'm able to get back on line and I notice that I can go between RP, Circle Theater etc without having to re log-in.
Thank you to Dido, who I bombarded with emails and to everyone who suggested 'ways in'.
Martin, for a couple of days your blue 'this' brought up strange ads of a medical nature via Garden Web, but now the trouble seems to have cleared.
Rosefolly, I did write to the powers-that-be on 'Contact Us' but they never responded. Nor did any notices about anything being wrong appear on the screen.
Is it a coincidence that most of the people experiencing trouble were from Europe?

OK Vee - glad to see you made it at last.

I'm posting from Europe though and I've never had a prob so it can't be that.

I have been asked to login the last twice I have come here. I haven't had any trouble doing it, but I am usually logged in permanently.

Just today, I had trouble logging in directly at RP. So I went to the general Garden Web list of forums and logged in at Hot Topics with no problems. I recall occasionally in the past, I would have to go the long way around to get logged in. Not sure why this happens periodically.

I had a problem this morning. I had to log in (again!) and this time the details did not come up after I wrote the first letter, as is usual! I could not recall the password I set years ago so got a new password email sent and the procedure said something about "both fields" which I did not understand. I went back to 'log in' and tried a password I used to use and it worked! Whew, I thought I had lost you!

Tonight -- Tues, Dec 21 -- for the first time, I went to the log-on page and got an odd "URL doesn't recognize" or some such message. I just went back to the message board and played around for awhile reading messages. Then later -- about 10 minutes -- went back to the log-on page and everything was normal again. Don't know what happened. My assumption when things like that happen is that the site is over-loaded with users at that time ... and so I wait for awhile. It always works!

lauramarie, exactly the same thing occurred with me today (thursday) as I tried to log in here. I went to the general Garden Web Forums list and was able to log in under Hot Topics, and from there went back here. We should not have to go through this indirect procedure.
