Colleagues,
We're hearing you on the website access challenges. It is frustrating when you cannot get to what you need. Browser differences, security settings, and other configurations all interact in ways that make issues genuinely complicated. Trust me our frustration level matches yours because we want to make it easy, not create barriers.
We are looking at where people are hitting roadblocks to see where we can reduce friction points. For now, this short video shows how to access the subscriptions and the community (https://somup.com/cOnhIgWiFA)
We're committed to making access straightforward because the professional development opportunities, connections with colleagues, and research behind login are what matter.
Please reach out to me, and we will work to find solutions.

Yes, I've noticed the same or similar behavior, though I think I've always eventually been able to get to the resource I'm trying to locate. It's definitely frustrating to have to log in again when the system clearly knows I'm already logged in.

Does anyone else have trouble logging into the ASA website, either to participate in Community discussions (like this one) or to access the journals that we supposedly can access?
When I try to access Significance magazine, for instance, I get stuck in an infinite loop. I am repeatedly asked for username and password but can never get to any articles.
For Community discussions, it seems I have to login twice, with the exact same credentials: once for the ASA website in general, and then again for Community.
Frustrating.
