Logging in on lap top.
I have been trying to log in on my lap top it won’t let me in plus my user name this wrong . It showing Borntorun04 but it was changed to Borntorun04/17 a few years back. I try to just add /17 to Borntorun04 in user area then use pass word but no go. Strangely I have no problem logging in using my iPhone. I’m not much of a computer person so not sure if it’s a forum problem or a computer problem. Thanks for any help or advice !

The error does not indicate which (username or password) is incorrect. If one receives the incorrect username and/or password error, then the username and/or password supplied is incorrect. It's that simple. I don't know if you're using browser's password manager on your phone to log in and you've forgotten the correct password for the account or not.
As long as you know your username and password, I would suggest deleting the one in your browser's password manager. How you do that depends on the browser you're using. I would suggest looking at the browser's online Help community for in-depth topics using a particular browser. Or if you're using the password manager on your browser's phone, it's possible you have forgotten the correct password for the account. In that case, you will need to do a Reset password.
Also, there no longer is a "Borntorun04" username on CorvetteForum. It was updated in 2017 to Borntorun04/17. Therefore, you cannot attempt to use "Borntorun04" as part of the login or it will fail because that is no longer a valid username.

Make sure you're actually receiving the incorrect username and/or password message. If you supply an incorrect username and/or password, you will be given that message specifically.
If, instead, you simply get directed back to the login area and/or you're not shown as logged in, then that's likely a corrupt cookie in the browser and is different.
