I still cannot log into VPHot on either my iMac (Mojave) or my Windpws 10 computers.
This has been happening since yesterday and today I have been trying to use Vphot to analyze a target concerning the ongoing Maser study using the BSM_NM telescope. Ltrast try was at 21:28 EDT today (Oct 22, 2019).
I'm having no trouble with accessing other websites.
VPhot login is broken. There's some kind of cookie problem having to do with settings and user name. I tried logging out and back in to AAVSO, no avail. Windows 7 + Firefox, both up to date.

It would be nice if the same individuals who posted above would confirm here that George's fix works. I never had a problem, but others clearly did. I use Chrome on a Win10 machine. I often keep my machine logged in to AAVSO so there was no need to log back in again. IOW, I do not log out of AAVSO site. Did this make a difference? Others should note what OS and browser they use to see if that was an issue? Or was it just the log in cookie step?
Curious that this occurred right after the new update to 4.0.3 yesterday, but who knows??
same here
Dave and Rich et al:
I was just able to log in (19:42 ET) and open an image. load comps and targets.
Do you still have a problem?

As Eric mentioned, it seems to be some problem with cookies. See attached screen shot.
Phil
Fix in place. Please try again.
If still a problem, emal gsilvis@aavso.org

Thanks, Ken
That works. Thanks, George.
Phil
Thanks.
There is going to be a fair amount of work on VPhot in the coming months. Please be patient and we'll get any problems cleared ASAP.
George
Thanks George:
VPhot is working again.
I just tried it (2:10 PM EDT) and successfully did some targets via BSM_NM concerning the Maser Project.
It is working on both my iMac(Mojave) amd Widows 10 (Google Chrome).
Thanks again for all of your hard work.

It works a treat now, George. Thanks!
Working again - thank you
