I have now heard from the mods..and they have changed my sign in details..however my workaround of saving my page has still worked this am without my putting in any password. A bit confused as a consequence.

You can call me TC

It hasn't worked for me, BTW; I still have to "accept" FOUR times before I can see the screen. smiley - grr

Well, I JUST now got logged back in with help from "moderators".

What's truly weird is I NEVER got an email when I repeatedly clicked "reset password" from the login screen.

Either something is wrong on their end or, possibly, my email client is hiding its spam folder. I can't find one at all in Thunderbird. It's possible the emails got diverted to spam and I just can't find them.

But I'm logged back in now and that's the important thing. smiley - oksmiley - pggb

I'm surprised (and a bit disappointed) that my thread backlog wasn't much, much worse. It wasn't even as much as I sometimes see after a night sleep. smiley - sadface

Since the weekend. I was able to get on via my tablet for a couple of days, but I didn't use it much.

Not really, not quite a week, but it seemed busier when I wasn't able to access it properly. smiley - laugh

I doubt that it will stop. Can you think of a calming mantra so that you don't mind it? smiley - smiley

Think of it as extra excercise. I wonder how many calories you burn with each added click, let alone the energy consumed by te generated anger (possibly even more than the clicking thing)

Remember ye olden days when some of the more heated threads (sometimes, but not always, heated by a researcher with lots of o's in their name smiley - winkeye) generated a half-dozen or more full pages of replies overnight? Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...hey there's a song in that smiley - huh

The daydream journal generates more than one page in less than a day sometimes.

I remember more innocent times, when the Cookie Monster was happy to take any unwanted cookies off people's hand. As well as some wanted ones.
