ANNOUNCEMENT: I have been working on the login page glitch, the old page that had pretty images and such is for some reason broken (they keep updating software and when that happens sometimes old code does not work) and so kept spinning people into a login page loop. Login, back to login page. Login, back to login page. Login... ahhh!
I killed that page and redirected everything to the forum login interface which does work.
Here's the catch. Even though the old login page has a redirect now and also is in the trash and also all the links have been fixed and some of them burned in effigy to make them stop caching, if you're in a browser that is caching pages it may keep taking you to a cached version of the old trashed login page.
If you clear your caches that should stop. And if you use the login link in the main forum page menu, NOT a login link in the AFW main site menu (which I killed but in some browsers it keeps showing up ahhh!), that forum login will always take you to the right login page too.
As this change propagates across the internet it should stop being an issue at all but if your browser is caching pages the problematic login page and links may hit you a few more times still if you try to use the main site header menu login link at the top of the AFW page.
IF THAT HAPPENS, just know, you ARE logged in once you have filled out username and password and logged in and if the page keeps taking you back to a login screen, just go straight to the forum with a bookmarked you ARE logged in at https://theafw.com/forum
This has been up a few days and the changes should have propagated across the internet and caches by now but I will leave it up just a few more days to be sure.
