Trying to get in through the chat wasn't working for me. So I added some extra steps that got me in:I made sure I was completely logged out of the site via the front page: https://www.bearchive.comI closed the window and then removed all of the bearchive.com cookies from my browser, both for www.bearchive.com and for forum.bearchive.comI then logged in at forum.bearchive.com/chatBut the front page is still asking for a login. Which I don't dare do for fear of getting locked out of the forum again...I too am using Firefox, FWIW.
I wonder why there was no short info about the maintenance work. And what has been fixed and improved (?).
