If you are viewing a forum topic but see only the existing posts with no “Reply” buttons, then the problem is probably that you are not actually logged into the forum.  You can check this by looking at the top of the forum window.  If you are logged in, it will say “logged in as: Jane Doe.”  If you don’t see that, then the problem is that you are not logged in.

Now why is it that I can se the reply buttons when I use your link in your latest email but can’t when I attemprt to sign in myself?

I am not sure what link you were using.  It would help to know.  Notice you can reach the Home Page from here at the very top of the screen. So the forums are a good place to bookmark.  Mostly, I am glad you finally got in!

I can log in and write using Safari but not Foxfire.

Craig I used the link you sent earlier today in an email.

This problem appears to be fixed.  It turns out that the problem has nothing to do with the browser one uses at all, but the url one uses.  If you are using a bookmarked link to the old covenant, you get re-directed to the new site (which is http://covenant-communion.net) automatically, so that the two are synonyms for the same site, effectively.  But we had some parameters set wrong on that redirection that caused the login problems if you went to the .com address.  This problem is now corrected, and it should not matter which url one uses to reach the site.
