Anticlimactic, isn't it?

Heck, I can still read me here ...

Well, apparently I still have access to the CISSP Group, so ...

You might have not seen the youtube link through your email setup, or recognised the lyrics so...

Looks like I might be getting cut before you even though I paid my fees!

Yup. You're right: the links don't come through on the email message, but I figured that's what you were doing. (Bit busy right now, so I haven't had time to listen to the songs, but ...)

Yeah. Weird and slightly ironic. However, we both seem to be still posting ...

These days, I am just firing up a browser window, getting to the "community," and I'm already logged in.  (Whatever "cookie" is keeping me logged in is pretty persistent: it's survived for months over quite a number of system reboots and upgrades and updates on the browser.)

Tried to make a posting from another device yesterday, and my login no longer works.  So, whenever this cookie runs out, I'm definitely gone ...

(Rather bizarre, in view of the fact that absolutely anyone can create an account on the "community" ...)

So I am working from my phone so hopefully this works.

I thought the Community was open to all and that you did not need to be a member to belong

Hmmmmm

Seemed to.

Well, it's still open "read only." Anyone can see almost anything on the
"community" (and, as I've pointed out, it's often easier to use Google and
"site:community.isc2.org" to find things on the "community") they just can't
contribute.

And, anyone can create an account. If/when my "cookie" access disappears, I
could create another account, but, of course, it would have no connection to the
existing account. And the existing account seems to be semi-dead. As I say, I can
still open a window and "be" logged on, but I can't use my account, anymore, to
log in from any other browser or device.

If/when the "cookie" access disappears, it will be interesting to see if this "reply
via email" access works for a while.

So many wonderful access control inconsistencies in the "community"!
