Screenshots available.

Yes I ran into that ”security issue” also about half an hour ago. Now ok.

Seems to be teething problems with new server or system?

No it was me! I was adjusting caching headers which impacted on browser cookies. Forum permissions (such as access to personal details, messages etc) are not based on cookies, so nothing was compromised.

Apologies for that hiccup! Was making some changes which resulted in unexpected consequences and misbehaving cookies! All should be OK now. As per my previous post, no confidential/personal information was compromised.
