Description

Since the forums.opensuse.org site revamping over the weekend, loading any page on $SUBJECT site using User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.53.17.1 makes head of page read in mousetype on ugly yellow background:

Unfortunately, your browser is unsupported. Please switch to a supported browser to view rich content, log in and reply.

I have no interest in "rich content". My primary forums interest is in helping other openSUSE users solve their installation, configuration, booting, and graphics problems.

Nowhere visible on forum pages is there offered an opportunity to login, and neither is current existing login inherited from being logged in on bugzilla.opensuse.org or openSUSE's wiki.

"Switching" to a "supported" browser here will not happen in the foreseeable future, if ever. Forum email notifications URLs are only ever selected for opening in SeaMonkey Mail, which opens them in SeaMonkey browser. Thus, as a practical matter, my considerable activity helping other openSUSE users via the forums is effectively halted until, and unless, this inability to login without using Firefox or Chromium gets fixed.
