I'm back!
Note: It may say that I have joined in April 2011, but I have been here before. Apple just forgot about me for some reason 😟
However, after many, many months, no actually years of having an Apple Id, I could never enter the forums prior to now, as there was some bug that stopped me at the last step.
Now I am in again. Hello to all.
Clearly the fault was at Apple's end and now it works as it should.
