Guys, I'm sorry, I know this kind of thing can be frustrating. We didn't expect this, since this phase of updating the forum simply involved porting an exact digital copy of the whole forum onto a shiny new server. But evidently the combination of new IP and new URL drives some browsers crazy. i've had a much easier time with my setup (Mac OS X with Chrome, mostly, and iOS8 on iThings, but David had a much harder time with his iThings, so go figure.
As David said, deleting cookies and doing a new bookmark seems to mostly fix it ... on some devices. But it may take a few tries, and making sure than no "info-droppings" get left behind.
The problem now is going to be helping everyone deal with the vast variety of machines and devices and OS and browsers, all different in their handling of cookies. David's experience suggests that brute force works best - he actually completely deleted his Internet Explorer and re-installed it ... and that worked! (Tom, that may be the best route for you as well.) But again, it's hard to give specific tech advice when browsers deal with the issue in such different ways.
This, too, shall pass. For those with long memories, "It Ain't Netscape!"
