It happens........ and if the grid is down for any reason (like it is now apparently....then you'll definitely see that messege)

I cannot stress enough too......when logging in.....if you get an error and it doesn't complete......DO NOT try again right away! What often happens is the system gets hung up in the 'log out' process and the more you try to log in......the longer it takes to log you out from each attempt.

This happened to me way back when I was a new resident.....and after an hour of continually trying to log in, and nearly throwing my computer down a flight of stairs......someone FINALLY told me.....stop trying to log in!!! Give it a good 10 minutes.....then re-try. But, of course, always good to check the grid status page and the forums here, to see if there's any issues with the grid. Today, is not a good day....seems noone can log in.....and weekends over-all tend to be really busy and we often see more lag and bugs and moodiness from the grid. :rolleyes:
