First of all: It is not my problem. It is the owner's problem since it is them who suffer the financial loss when their hit count goes down. For me it is a minor inconvenience since mainly I use this forum during down times.

Second: The "remember me" pertains to navigation within the web site. Just to check, as a troubleshooting action, I did retain the cookies from a visit. When I tried to log in a bit later there was the same log in malfunction.

By the way there are still other display and functional issues these months after the "upgrade".
