I can't use the TBGs (too many redirects)

Hi! I have a problem with the Text Based Games forum. I can't access it!!! This is the error I get when I go to any TBG page:

Yeah. I use Google Chrome with a Windows 7. Resetting my cookies (mmmm cookies XD) should help, but I'd have to sign into everything... So, can anyone help?  smile

Try clearing your cookies just for scratch.mit.edu, perhaps? You'd have to sign into Scratch again, but it's not a huge dealio. I was able to access it using Safari, so I don't think it's the biggest problem ever; maybe wait a while and try again if clearing cookies for scratch.mit.edu doesn't work?

That's a good idea. I didn't think of that. I'll try it now.  smile

Edit: Took me a while to find the cookie settings, but it worked! Thank you coolstuff!  smile

Ah, this seem to be a recurring problem among New Scratchers. we already have an active thread about this here, so let's move all TBG redirect related issues to the other thread.  smile
