Yar, there is something funky going on with the spiritwood site.
Here's the most reliable way I know to log in:
1) Use
www.spiritwood.net, NOT
www.spiritwood.com
2) From the main news page, log into the ">>Log In" box on the right, NOT the login box at the topright in the header
If you use the "remember me" option then the next time you head to
www.spiritwood.net it should remember you.
Oh, and welcome to our humble neck of the (spirit)woods, Balen and Mvi!
