Rvk I think you got confused. I always disclosed what os I’m using to program Lazarus with. Windows 7 on a machine not connected to internet.
It’s nobody’s business what I’m using for forums and internet browsing. The fact that so many web browsers can’t access GitLab indicates that there is a problem with gitlab.
Also from your earlier post you indicated that it was easy to access with your smart phone. I’ve seen websites favoring smartphones before. If it was up to them we would all have to have 2fa with a phone number.

What has been established with a limited degree of certainty -
[x] Gitlab cannot be used by a system without javascript.
[x] Gitlab cannot be used by particularly old browsers.
[x] Gitlab may have been guilty of trashing a number of old (and perhaps unused) credentials.
My experience fitted into that third item I suspect. However, connecting to gitlab via github works flawlessly. So, please don't count me in the "Several people ...have had problems with gitlab" category. Can we identify just how many people do fit into that category ? My thoughts are its a self nominating thing ?
I have seen Alexey forwarding on bug reports between the forum and the bug tracker, I guess they are issues he feels comfortable about. I don't think anyone would want to log a bug report unless they had, themselves, reproduced the problem. I most certainly would not.
If a new, parallel scheme to take bug reports is introduced, we'd need to be sure that it has a good life span, that it won't, for example, stop working (for this particular subgroup of users) when new Forum software is introduced.
Javascript, no matter how much we dislike it, is here to stay.

Another thing I’d like to add...
Wasn’t there an issue with GitHub or gitlab banning developers from certain countries ? If so it’s yet another reason to move the bug tracker off of a third party platform.
