Cookie issue
There is clearly an issue with the forum's cookies. I suspect they are related to other issues reported as well, especially ones that seem to be limited to specific users or classes of users. Here is my latest encounter:
I tried to go to the forum, and was informed that the community could not be found and directed to the main forum home. But clicking on that that just looped back to the same error message. After confirming all was well with another browser on my main PC and Chrome on another PC, I tried an incognito Chrome window on my main PC and all worked well. So then I deleted the cookies for the site, and all worked well without issue in a standard window.
Note that I did tell it to trust this browser so 2-factor authentication would not be required, if that matters.

I've sometimes had to jump through the 2FA hoop again despite having trusted the browser.

I agree. I've seen some other odd behavior, particularly when logging in. Chrome refused to go the community home for me a couple days ago. Edge worked fine on the same PC with the same credentials. Clearing the cache (and cookies) resolved it.
Not sure if this is related, but sometimes authentication is glacially slow, particularly early morning East Coast time.
