Unable to login to AWF (1 Viewer)

For about 20 minutes I was unable to login to AWF. Was there a problem with the server?

No problems here. Did you recently clear out cookies from your browser? I got a Windows update this week that disrupted my logins and on a hunch I looked up "browser deleted my cookies." Do you use Firefox? Some browsers including Firefox have user reports of some login info being messed up but it was hard to tell because the reports were scattered as to location AND symptoms.

I use FF on Ubuntu and when I tried logging in it froze for 10 seconds, displayed a Pandora google ad, followed by the familiar Oops error message. Clearing history and cookies didn't fix the problem, so I rebooted and was able to login.

Hard to diagnose with that info, but it is possible that the reboot allowed some browser info to be purged from your system. I used to see that on Navy computers sometimes. But I never got any better answer than "because Microsoft".

I accidentally clicked on a Pandora google ad that was in the middle of a post and all hell broke loose. Many of those ads are dangerous, beware
