Unfortunately the forum Identity login system is known to be a little buggy -
unfortunately with a lack of spare time from contributors it is difficult to
fix.

Are you trying to login as 'jidanni' or 'danjidannijacobson' when logging into
the forum?

With regards to using email addresses - we do have plans to move in that
direction in the long term - but this is complicated as software such as
Mediawiki, phpBB, Drupal, Wordpress, etc all require a username. KDE is not
large enough to be able to justify totally custom software which uses email
addresses as the primary key (and many people are not happy about having their
email address publicised which does not help).
