I haven't been able to log in to BookMooch for quite a while now, a few weeks I think. I can see my inventory and wishlist, but not log in.

Anyone else with that problem?

Have you tried using the direct login link?

bookmooch.com/m/

Or is your password/username combo just not working?

I don't even get to the point where they ask for my password - any page starting with bookmooch.com/m/ just keeps on loading indefinitely.

My login and password usually pops up automatically in a javascript box - maybe you need to update your java version?

I found the culprit!

My husband had installed an extension called Youtube Unblock VPN, and somehow the login got stuck on that. I disabled it and BookMooch is working again.

I'm having a similar problem right now!! Only, I haven't downloaded or installed anything weird, so I don't think that's it. Is anybody else having this problem still?

Wait, now it's coming up "Connection refused"! So strange!

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. :-)

I saw something on the site's blog posts indicating that they are doing some server maintenance, so the listings might be funky for a few more days.

Oh, okay, thank you very much. It's actually working fine for me, now. That's a lot of help explaining it though, so thanks again. :-)

Is it down? The connection keeps timing out for me.

^ If BookMooch isn't working, this is the best way to check if it's a problem at your end or BookMooch's.
