OK, here it is:  navigate to "community.wizards.com/" by whatever method you can, perhaps by clicking that log-in at the "technical issues"warning.  After you get there, log-out by clicking the log-out link in top right corner.  Than delete/remove all your browser cookies.  In IE8 choose the "safety" icon in top right corner, choose delete browser history and delete cookies option.  In Chrome choose the "tools" icon in top right, clear browsing date, delete cookies.  After you delete all cookies, simply log-in by choosing log-in and re-typing your email address and password and select "remember".  Last, copy the URL "community.wizards.com/" and edit your bookmark to point to that URL.  Now your browser should automatically log-in again.

Here's a slightly easier method.  It works, at least, in Firefox


1. At the 'technical issues' screen, click the "log in" link in top-right corner.


2. When the 'secret questions' screen loads, simply reopen community via a bookmark.


There's no need to wipe cookies and log in again.

You can come to the site, A technical error has occurred. Please close your browser and try again. On the same page you can also see "My Account", click it, then on that page you'll see "community" on the right hand side. After you click that it should send you to the forum.

I need 2 more mtg articles for my website. If anyone can write one please contact me

Is this easier than {post reply}, login,{browser back},{browser back}, {post reply}?

yup

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.  R. A. Heinlein - 1907-1988.

My (now not-so) new sig. - adopted to celebrate certain events at WOTC culminating in April 2008.

Now also celebrating other idiotic events in August 2009.

On the plus side, whichever programmer is in making a mess of the forums is probably nowhere near the game, screwing that up too.

Yup, the proposed fix worked only briefly for me too.  The site was already painful to use, and this makes it almost not worth the trouble.
