Anyone else having this issue with Firefox 23 or 24? IE9 works fine.

Correct answer Dave Merchant

Didn’t the actual hack occur a couple weeks ago? Were you notified of the changes more than that long ago?

The issue with a 404 "Oops" page showing when you try to sign into these forums is NOT related to the security alert, nor to any planned changes to the login system. It's a bug with the content delivery network that hosts the forum software, and it's under investigation.

Meanwhile if you encounter the 404 page, clear your browser's session cookies for the adobe.com domain and try again. No need to clear your browsing history or cache, just the cookies.

Moved to Forum Comments, this has nothing to do with Lightroom.

My original Forum 'Sign In' trshaner has been restored. The solution was to assign a new unique email address for the Forum Sign that would not conflict with my other exisitng Adobe accounts.

Special thanks to Adobe Staff Beverley Gray for making it happen!

it happens very frequently in Explorer too lateley so I believe it has nothing to do with the browser.

There are some changes going on in the background with the forums, logins, etc.... Adobe are aware of this. Patience please while the changes are implemented.

I don't know about that Dave as access just comes and goes with me without clearing anything. Where does that information.

It's even stranger that that. I posted this on the Forum Comments yesterday:

(1) enter Lightroom forum...I'm logged in

(2) clear cache and exit browser

(3) launch browser and go to Lightroom forum...I'm NOT logged in

(4) clear cache and exit browser

(5) return later, launch browser and enter Lightroom forum...I'm now logged IN

Repeat (2) through (5) and it may indicate I'm logged in or logged out. On and on and on!

My "normal" link works fine in FF24: http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom?view=discussions

But the link you are trying (forums.adobe.com/adobe) gives the same problem....which tends to indicate it's not a valid link? Same in Chrome, unless there's something after "adobe" which we can't see?

Clear your cache in Firefox and then restart the browser

I'm getting it too, and if you check into "forum comments" a lot of others do as well.

To me it seems simply intermittent. Clearing the cache sometimes works, sometimes not. Clearing out cookies ditto. And if I just wait and try later, that works too sometimes.

I use Safari (Windows) as second browser (anything to avoid IE), and haven't seen it there.
