Apparently the log in issue is a known fault with the PHPBB3 forum Loads of PHPBB usres are having the same problems and the makers are working on it. If it doesn't get sorted soon I'll fuck it off and swap to a different forum like V-bulletin. Prob is where as PHPBB3 is free, V-bulletin is about £150 I may do this anyway as it seems a little unrelible and the forum seems to be taking off
