JT - I'm not sure that clearing cookies is sufficient. Once cookies are cleared, I was able to access the forums.... until logging in. Once you login, it sets the cookie back and redirects you to m.corvetteforum.com again and you're locked out again (this was true on Safari/Firefox on Mac).

Yes, mine was changed in my account settings in the user CP. Tested on a Mac, not phone, and tested on my wife's computer, which doesn't visit CF :-). Most likely this was due to the user CP setting.
Thanks!

lightweight vs app
I used "lightweight" version because the app was terrible...no color variations etc. Lightweight was better. Can't find App on Google Play...what is the name?
There is no known issue with the mobile app. Note this thread is about the mobile skin and it's specific domain that is no longer available (at this time). If you have a specific issue with the mobile app, you might want to start a new thread since it's not related to this thread and the mobile skin. The two are completely different.
I don't have any updates at this time beyond that it has been reported. Only a few know the answer to what and why on this topic and I wasn't one of them. I'm waiting for a response.
The issue will occur for everyone trying to use the mobile skin "Lightweight".
The forums are still accessible through the mobile app, which is available through Google Play, or through the normal desktop/full version. When the mobile skin was released, so many people wanted a "real app" - which has now been available and still works - that I'm surprised some are still using the old mobile skin "Lightweight" instead of the "real app".

That explains your case. It's not normal to have Lightweight defined as your selection in the UserCP. I also wouldn't recommend it. It can prevent access to the forums under specific conditions (such as using a laptop/computer that hasn't logged in or had browser cookies deleted).

To update, the issue is queued for a resolution. With the holidays, I think staff is a bit short and, like I said previously, I wasn't sure if this was planned decommission in favor of the "real app" or not and so I had to wait for an official word this morning.

Like the others here I'm experiencing the same issue with the mobile skin. Will continue to follow this post for issue resolution. In the meantime I am using the mobile app.

Thanks for the update, and glad to hear it's not a planned decommission... I tried the app last week and didn't care for it. In fact, when the mobile site first started not loading in my browser a few days ago, I really suspected the app had done something to cause that... until I googled and found this thread. nonetheless, I deleted the app.
