You might want to try clearing your cookies and history in your internet browser, retype the website address in the browser address bar, then log-in again. Also, here is a recent forum post from the site administrator on January 21 which might explain some of the issues:

Dear Members,

TLDR;
The web is evolving to HTTPS. We are preparing for this. Note the green padlock in your address bar, and we apologize for the growing pains over the next few days. Report any bugs you find.

What: Over the next few days our forum will be forced to move to what is known as a "secure" website. While this has nothing to do with actual security, it does mean that all of our pages will be encrypted and sent to your browsers via the HTTPS protocol as will soon be required by Google Chrome and Firefox.

Why: Some say this is a response by the browser creators to the NSA's spying on any trivial internet activity, while others (myself included) think this is simply a way to force-sell expensive product to the broader web and increase their bottom line.

When: We have already begun the transition. We have purchased all of the required certificates and software and made several changes to insure compatibility. Over the next 2-4 days we will be ironing out bugs and transitioning the ad serving system as well. This is the reason for the exclamation mark over our current padlock in your address bar. Our goal is 100% compliance by 1:00 AM Saturday.

What this means to you: The 60-66 GMC Club will be online and compatible with the three major dictatorships browsers for many years to come, preserving the history of the greatest truck ever created. There will also be a new, pretty green padlock in your browser address bar to show to your friends.

The website will be up and down several times during the week as we test compatibility and install these upgrades. Please report any inconsistencies or page load problems you encounter via PM and I will step on them with aggressive size 7 stilettos.

Have a great day!
