It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

When I log in it still says "Sign Up" and "Log In" at the top of the screen. Evey time I try to send a pm I get asked to log in and get no option to send one. What can I do about this?

I've tried deleting all of GoG's cookies (and there was a surprising number of them). Problem remains exactly the same.

Last time i saw a similar problem the user had "better privicy app" for firefox that was causing the problem, do you have it or something similar on your browser?

I have the same problem, but only when I use my cell phone. Just started maybe a week or two ago? I'm using Chrome on all my devices, but my pc and laptop both work fine.

Clear your browser cache and the GOG cookies from your browser, then log back in. That fixes most issues with the site, including the partial login.

clearing cache solves it. however, soon the problem returns. noticeably on firefox. reported it, no solution. occurs as of the release of the witcher 3.

Ok, now I:
chose "allow all this page" in no-script so that nothing it being blocked (I had already allowed GOG before. No-script had been blocking only Twitter and Facebook, which I don't know why those are showing up on GOG forum pages anyway.)
deleted cache
deleted GoG cookies again

Still, same result. Sign Up/Login at top when logged in. Endless cycle of get asked for password when try to send pm, so still impossible.

Apparently GOG's site absolutely hates Firefox with a fiery, fiery vengeance.

Let's try IE as that's the only other browser installed...

No problems. At all. Well, problem solved but certainly wasn't expecting that. Not a huge fan of having to use a different browser just for one site either but at least things are functional now.

I'm also a little confused about something. "Start Conversation" is GOG's version of a pm, right? And someone doesn't have to be online when you send something in order for them to see it, right? It's just confusing cause it looks like that goes to a chat room.

It does,because everyone sits around and chats about it:-)

Same here. Maybe try disabling different extensions to see if one (or more) of those is the problem?

Clear your cookies, active logins, maybe offline files. If you're still having issues, it might be a plugin, at which point you can disable some of the privacy/cookie based ones and try logging in. Once it's all good, enable the plugins again as appropriate.

Good suggestion to disable plugins. That's about the only thing I hadn't thought to try yet.

So after doing that, disabling NoScript allowed everything to work right (even though I had already told noscript to "allow all" on GOG.com).

What's really strange is that even after re-enabling noscript things are still working right. My best guess is that there must be some one-time setting that gets set the first time you log in to GOG, and noscript was blocking that.

The first time I had logged into GOG on this pc was yesterday so that very well could have been it.

Try to do full cleanup using CCleaner. It always help.
