Brickboard 'unable to login' -workarounds 900

Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's often inconsistencies due to Jarrod's cookie handler. This has been an on and off problem for decades whenever Jarrod makes a change to the cookie layout, which he has apparently been doing lately. I use various versions of four different browsers over four devices to access the brickboard and occasionally have these types of problems. Mostly it's with versions of the Mozilla-based Firefox browsers, both PC and iOS, but sometimes also Chrome and once even Safari. In the past year I've had at least three occasions where all I get is 404/403 errors as if the website was down in addition to the occasional unexpected lost signon and problem logging back on. I've even told Jarrod the site is down and he obligingly restarts the server. That may not always be the problem, but it's at least guaranteed to reset access to the user database.

The fix that works more often than not is to clear all permanent and temporary browser cookies that contain "brickboard.com", exit your browser to be sure temporary cookies are reset, and sign back on. Although rare, if you use multiple devices and browsers you may need to first go into each and signoff the brickboard. Unless you're good with your browser advanced settings you may need to clear all cookies and lose all curtrent website signons and access preferences. Jarrod once had a web page script you could go to that reset just your brickboard RWD browser cookies, but I just tried it and I don't think it works anymore. If you still have problems signing on, click on the home page link and try coming back in that way. If it continues to stay knotted then make a new anonimous post that you're still having problems after having deleted cookies. If I spot enough of those I'll rattle Jarrod's cage, which I try to avoid as he's a busy guy and the brickboard is no longer a personal priority of his.
