Thanks for your reply, Curson.
Actually, I was so "programmed" to using the upper right corner log-in that I did not even realize there was an alternative login link on the aforementioned bar, until I had exhausted other ideas.
Originally, I thought my security-privacy settings were the culprit, so I screwed around with them, to no avail.
So after changing passwords a couple of times, and in an attempt to troubleshoot, yesterday, I registered a brand new Forum membership, thinking my original one became a virtual "persona non grata". (use it or lose it??)
.
Of course, the new membership account did not work either, after logging out and attempting to re-log in (iupper right corner).

To delete the new membership account that I created yesterday, 21Nov, can I just reply to the " Welcome to Adlice forum" email from webmaster@adlice.com with a "delete membership" in the subject line?
