Just got the word from Mud that the log-in/log-out problem has been fixed. He said, for some reason, the tmp directory was removed. He wasn't sure how or why. He's still footing the monthly server bill and plans to move to a new  (less expensive) server in the not-too-distant future. You gotta hand it to Mud, despite the fact that he's clearly very busy, he's not only willing to keep funding this site, he's also willing to take time from a very busy schedule to fix our problem. Many thanks go out to Mud!!

By the way, the chat is also working...

Great news! Thanks Mud, way to go!

Gotta tell ya, although everything seems to work right now, it doesn't say I'm online, nor does it say there's anyone browsing the site at all (not even me as a guest) so there's still something not completely in order!

Okay, thanks, I'll pass that along...
