You can use GitHub-style code fences (```); I added these to your first post. See Formatting code and log snippets in posts.
We’ve unfortunately had to adjust the edit limit for new users due to spammers who sign up for accounts and repeatedly edit to try to bypass detection. As you spend a bit more time on the forums you there are increased Trust levels and forum privileges.
I’m not aware of any specific issue affecting JIRA or forum logins. Can you share more details on the sort of glitches you are experiencing?
Login issues are more common if you have very restricted cookie settings. What browser version are you using? Do you have any additional ad blockers or privacy extensions enabled?
