assumed issues were with it being time for yearly renewal [never pay attention to when it comes around] but had bunch of hoops to jump through to get back onto the site.
This issue only gave option of registration - but would not accept username or password, and trying registration stated username and password already existed [so no intention of trying to create a new account].
Eventually used 'forgot password' to change password and be allowed to login to existing account - so might not be time for annual renewal yet...
Normal annual renewal has always been very simple and no issues [for last 7 years]
