This forum does not work in Safari
I am unable to login to this forum from Safari. On my iPad, when I login, it goes to a new screen that is blank. On my mac, I go to login, it says I've logged in, but when I get back to this screen, I'm still not logged in.
In both cases, I tried to login after having types a new conversation and I lost what I typed.

I have also found that Chrome and Firefox with the extension uMatrix enabled also prevents signing in to feedback.photoshop.com. Could something be done about this issue other than to disable Prevent cross-site tracking?
It seems to be a Safari for Mac is issue, mostly, as I can still sign in with Safari on my iOS devices. My iOS devices are running iOS 13.6.1.
It's strange that when I checked Safari for iOS settings, Prevent cross-site tracking is checked by default and I can sign in to this site but Prevent cross-site tracking in Safari for Mac 13.1.2 needs to be unchecked to sign in here?

I just tried several attempts to sign in from my new MacBook Pro 16" running Catalina and had the same problems reported here by several others over the last year. I am running Safari 13.1.2.
When I go to this site in Safari, I try to sign in using my Photoshop Family account. I enter my id and password at the pop-up window. It tells me that I have successfully signed in and that I can close the window. If I manually close the login pop-up, nothing happens; the sign-in options pop-up is still there and the main browser window shows no one is signed in. I tried waiting for minutes to see if the login pop-up would auto close, along with the sign-in options pop-up behind it (Johan Elzenga's suggestion). Nothing happens.
I tried clearing cookies in Safari using Jeffrey Tranberry's suggestion from a year ago in this thread. I cleared every cookie showing any evidence of Adobe or Photoshop. That still didn't work.
I finally tried the suggestion from Roland, 3 months ago: deactivate (uncheck) "Prevent cross-site tracking". That worked. The login pop-up auto closes, along with the sign-in options pop-up behind it.
This problem is repeatable. If I check "Prevent cross-site tracking", the problem behaviour returns. If I uncheck it, I can log in normally.
As a large proportion of Adobe users on MacOS will be using Safari, I don't think you can say that the problem has been resolved or that its local to any one system. My MacBook is new; I only set it up a week ago and only installed Creative Cloud and LR Classic today. Everything is pretty much at default out-of-the-box. So there's been little opportunity for something subtle or esoteric to generate this behaviour.
I agree with Ryan Kester's statement: "Adobe is a company with enough resources to fix an issue such as this". We should not have to go through these hoops just to login to a support site!
Hopefully, the steps above will help anybody else having the same problem.
Cheers, Frank

As @John R. Ellis pointed out: "it's unreasonable to tell users to make this change to the default Safari settings" just to be able to access support from Adobe.
He cites an article, which states that Apple changed Safari on 3/24/2020 to disable cross-site tracking by default. Moreover, Google plans to do the same for Chrome. I think Adobe needs to acknowledge the issue and expedite a solution that doesn't require users to make important compromises.
(https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/24/21192830/apple-safari-intelligent-tracking-privacy-full-third-party-cookie-blocking)
I gather that Adobe does support user privacy, don't they?
Cheers, Frank

Assuming the platform is end-of-lifed, support for it will be ending at some point, and presumably Adobe is/will be looking for a replacement. Let's hope that goes much smoother than the transition of the Adobe "community" forums from Jive to Khoros, which was (and is) a mess.

Today's upgrade to the forum platform appears to have fixed the problem.
