I have been experiencing issues on typing into these forum here

I type in the statement in this field, then it cuts off. I tried to re-edit, then it complains that I did not fill out the field correctly. I highlighted everything and made a copy into the computer's clipboard, then click send. It usually succeeded

Does anybody have similar issues?

no, never experienced this kind of problem
the only issue i have here is that from time to time i have to wait for so long to access the forum that i can watch my beard grow

Are the ads on the forum too large for anyone else? I'm using chrome and the ad at the top of the page is blocking the top few topics

This is how it looks for me in Chrome:

This is what I'm getting:

Same for me on Chrome, both on the computer and the phone.

I'm getting it on Chrome on my laptop and on Safari on my iPad

reported & fixed

I'm having difficulty changing my password. I still have my first given pass which is a pain to type. I go to "my account" and then what?
In "Password" do I type old or new password?
In "Your current password" I guess the old one.
I cannot make it to work. Just says that I have to enter current password which I do but still nothing.

Thanks

I could successfully change my password. Indeed the current/old password should be put in "your current password, and the new one in "Password".
However it looks like there is a more strict rule about passwords than previously: you need at least one letter lowercase, one letter uppercase, one number and one special character.

Still nothing. I tried with an upper case, numbers and a ! (is that special?) Maybe there's a minimum number of characters?

Probably too, I guess at least 8 or 10
