Thanks for looking into it, Giovanni. Although there seems to be something funky (for lack of a better word) going on when logging into the message boards, it is not a crisis. Some of us have found a workaround.

Meanwhile, I will take some screenshots of what I encounter when logging in and will email you. Have a safe trip to Italy, and maybe something can be figured out when you're back.

You and Len are the best, and this is still my favorite fountain pen forum.
