I know everyone is having issues, so hopefully these will help ease the pain. If anyone has any work arounds to any other problems, feel free to PM me, and I'll add them in here.
Logging in seems to be the toughest problem. Instead of trying to log in when you first get here , try responding to a post before you log in. You will then be asked to log in. Make sure you check the remember me box when you sign in. That way, when you come back, you should remain logged in, as long as you don't delete cookies from your hard drive. It may take a few tries, but once you are logged in and if you checked the remember me box, you shouldn't have trouble getting on.
Editing posts: If you need to edit a post make sure you choose Go Advanced before you click submit.
From here you can than click Save Changes and your edit will take. You cannot edit your title. If you need your title to be changed, you will have to private message me, and I will make the change for you.
Personal messaging: Many people aren't getting notification of new PMs and you'll notice the notification box is no longer at the top of the page. Click on Private Messages in the tool bar at the top of the page. when there, click on General settings.
When you get to the General settings page look for personal messaging notification and turn it on, and you will get a pop up notifying you of new PMs.
Image sizes. For the time being 700 pixels seems to be the maximum width of an image you can post without having to scroll side to side to see the whole thing. You might want to consider that when you edit anything new to post.
I sincerely hope we won't have to do that for long.
If there are any questions feel free to ask in PM to me, and to repeat, please post any new bugs in the site relaunch thread. Site relaunch update

Some of you may have trouble getting the popup notification to work with Firefox. Here is how to let it notify you. This is done on an IMAC, but PCs should be similar.
First click on Tools In the Firefox tool bar at the top of your screen. Then click on Page Info.
A new little page will pop out and you should click permissions, then check the box to allow popups on PopPhoto.

here's the secret!
make an error on your login!
that will take you to a login screen that actually works!
I took this from another thread to try to keep these hints all in one place. Thank you to drh681

Update for logging in. There actually is no update, just that what was previously written doesn't seem to work.
The update for editing posts is to click on the edit post button, then click on it again when the editing box comes up. Clicking on Go Advanced no longer works.
