Quick question. I am new to the SR society, but I started two weeks and made a small transaction and kind of get the process. However, the last few days when I tried to log in, I was advised to update the Tor browser. I did install the new updates, but once I did the SR page would give me a different log in (included PIN number). I entered it all and the site would say I had no account. I tried to register, but it said try again later. I ended up closing the updated browser and running the older version. I was able to log into SR with no problems. What's the deal with that?? I haven't tried to make a purchase, but if I am using the older version am I still able to use SR? Thanks.

sounds like you been redirected to a phishing site (fake sr)
you should NEVER be required to enter your pin to enter the site.
if you still have the chance i would make sure i goto silkroadvb5piz3r.onion go into your account and change your pin. make sure you never make the mistake again.
if you didnt have any coins you got lucky, if they haven't checked your account yet you got lucky also. change the pin.

^ what he said. You can save silkroadvb5piz3r.onion as a bookmark, this will stop the possibility of going to a phishing site

silkroad vb5 piz3r. Pretty easy to memorize also

Thanks. Gonna change the pin now...added it to the bookmark as well ;-)

i've done 3 or 4 browser updates since january. but the most recent seemed really 'buggy' & uncooperative.
after a lot of grief, i too, went back to an earlier version & it seems to work just fine.
even tho' i get an update notice each time i start tor, i'm just gonna let things ride for a bit, just use what i've got.

How are you guys updating? I only ask because I usually just delete the Tor Browser folder, from there I just download and unzip Tor Browser bundle all over again.

That's all you have to do. The Tor Browser Bundle does not require installation.
