I can log in and post on the forum when using Microsoft Edge but cannot do so if using my preferred Google Chrome. Anyone else experiencing this?

Ah well, chrome is not the most standards compliant browser out there. Firefox is. Direct descendent of the all-conquering netscape, before it was laid waste in the first browser wars. But I digress.
However, the forum is a simple beast, so as long as chrome is leaving me an error message, then I should be able to fix it. _______________ Electric bikes are great. They give ordinary people the chance to know what it feels like to be me. |

Oh look, not that I'm criticising, but here's a recent article explaining what Chrome are up to:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2021/05/01/stop-using-google-chrome-on-your-iphone-android-macbook-and-pc In reality, what Google are doing is trying to get all browsers to block tracking cookies, but only for cynical reasons. They'll still be able to harvest all the data they need to sell to advertisers, using the sheer power of their market dominance, but no-one else will be able to. Ironically, by promoting privacy, Google will be able to clean up, but no-one will actually have more privacy. _______________ Electric bikes are great.

Just reporting that I still can't use Chrome to post and now I can't use Microsoft Edge either.

Test post with Chromium Version 91.0.4472.77 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
It appears to be working for me. It may be something else on your operating system that is trying to keep you secure. Have you tried using the https version? https://www.porttalbotwheelers.co.uk/UseBB _______________ Electric bikes are great.

Works on Mandy's laptop. Might be just my desktop.
