Thank you.

Well, it didn't work for me. I created a new F2P account and can log in that way. Better than nuttin I guess, considering all the other problems.

At least in my case, my main doesn't have any world-shattering rep or posts I really care about.

Cheers,
J.

Your method worked great for me, thank you for posting that. +1

I wasn't able to log in at all, it kept timing out.
As soon as I had applied the changes, it worked fine.

At the same time I also changed the nickname though (after the update it was set to some obscure combination of words, so i changed it back to the nickname that I've always had in this forum), so I am actually not too sure whether it was purely the country selection, or changing the nickname, or even both that let me log into forums eventually.

Thank you, I can again sign in to lurk.
Just needed to update account info to include country.
