Finally found my way in through an obscure URL which I'd memorised. Given the seemingly relative lack of activity today I guess most people are having this problem

I take it that EB is the only person who has admin rights and can fix the problem? Not that I'm complaining about EB - he does a great job keeping the forum running. It's just that if he's indisposed for a period of time then there's nobody else that can take the reins so to say.
