It appears that the login issues may be resolved.

Nope, none of the issues have been resolved. You just got lucky.

I have had nothing but various headaches all day and just now saw that redirect message.

They'd been using cloudflare, and switched to incapsula, (these people: https://www.imperva.com/incapsula-moved/) and it was screwed up, so that depending on which of their servers you hit, and that could change during one session, you'd get a connection that worked, or you'd get a connection that said "oh, that moved, go here instead" only the "go here" was where you'd just come from, thus "redirecting improperly".

Just to clarify, Is what you wrote above what you discerned from studying the routing of traffic, or did someone in an official capacity pass that along

Analysis of the traffic when failures happened, and knowing that they were using cloudflare, and now they're not.

It's interesting that CPAP.com did not appear to be affected..

cpap.com and cpaptalk.com are totally different, network wise, just look at the IP data:
tyr:~/board$ nslookup cpap.com
Server: 205.159.53.7
Address: 205.159.53.7#53

Non-authoritative answer:

tyr:~/board$ nslookup cpaptalk.com
Server: 205.159.53.7

Non-authoritative answer:

.and troubling that no one who runs this site ever came to explain or update - heck, even our mods had trouble logging in and passing along what they could.

*shrug*... ask for your money back?

Indeed, though she's so effective, you'd think she was a whole team of people.

the 'old hands" seem to have found ways to get in, each in their own way.

let's hope the people who need help can get in!

Let's hope they can use the search tool and read the answers to previous threads.
Remember, you don't have to be logged on to find someone who has had the same problem.
Exactly what I did for the five months before I first registered..
It is very effective.
There is no need to repeat a question that has already been asked (and answered) 100 times.
This compulsion to be heard is not productive--listen first.

yeah, it didn't last more than two minutes after i posted that. got the old redirect error.

Today I've been able go to the forum home page with my bookmark and consistently log in from the home page. We'll see if that lasts.

I use Firefox permanent private browning mode which means everything is cleared when I exit the browser. Or I at least have it set to clear as much as possible.

Same error message using Chrome on my Chromebook. Clearing cookies did not work. Got in just now going Incognito.

Geez.....now the damn "I am not a robot" thing is everywhere no matter what I do.
And a particularly annoying troll keeps trying to sneak back in.
I need a drink.

What size glass?
Shot, old-fashioned, or tumbler?
Sometimes it's tempting to slurp right out of the blender jar.

I still cannot get in on the old bookmarked link, but I can get on by typing in "cpaptalk.com" with no issues.

I created a new bookmark and it works fine.
