Member Login and Login as site admin buttons are both grayed out

Using Chrome Version 138.0.7204.158 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I was logged into FTH on 7/13/2025 looking at both the Public Speaking Northwest (9406) and the Frankly Speaking (1909950) pages through Chrome, when we had a power outage. When the power came back, the Members Only buttons on FTH didn't respond on either page. I couldn't login with the "Member Login" and "Login as site admin" buttons, because they were grayed out.

What I have tried:

• Rebooted the desktop
• Accessed the pages via Edge
• Updated Chrome
• Sent positive thoughts to the SW Masters of FTH
• Waited a couple of days just in case
• Looked at the forum and found #94938, which mentioned inactive login buttons.  
• Scoured both club's pages for dialog boxes requesting permission to use cookies, but didn't find any. (You'll find screen shots of the entire front page of Frankly Speaking attached.)

I do remember several very recent dialog boxes on FTH asking for permission to use cookies. I did (or meant to) click Okay. Could one have been processing right at the moment that the power went out? I'm afraid that I don't remember exactly what was going on at that moment, because I was so surprised by power outage.

Oh Mighty Masters of FTH,
I humbly beg your assistance.

May the electrons be with you.

Even though the login buttons are greyed out, they should still be active.
Try clicking one of them - that should open the maroon banner at the top of the page for you to accept the FTH policies (probably the one you saw, hopefully you can re-activate it).  
The power outage probably reset your IP address, which makes the system think you're a new user.
 

I clicked the Member login button and looked to the TOP of the webpage and there was the accept cookies dialog!

EUREKA!
