Try clearing out your cookies... Those Oreo's are terrible when they are stale!

But seriously, try dumping your cache and clearing your cookies and see if that helps.

Clearing out cookies should fix this problem everytime. Then close your browser and come into the site all over again.

If every time we want to change topics on here we have to quit and delete cookies, WHY BOTHER?

There are lots of other forum sites that operate with intelligence.

You should only have to do it once. Are you having a problem too?

jpdocdave · 08-24-2008, 09:52 PM

i deleted cookies and it still does it. i just got used to clicking on today's posts to get to where i'm logged in. one extra step i guess.

Two people out of 7k members, doesn't sound like its a forum problem.

You were not going crazy.
I had the same issue and then today it cleared up.
Sounds like a DB issue but it works now and that is all that counts.

**distortedtj** · 09-10-2008, 06:46 PM

I've had this problem a few times. The past two days when I would log in it would have my name at the bottom of the page saying I was logged in. but I could not post and it would still have the window on the top of the page for me to log in.

This happened after I cleaned out my cookies.

**tiny terror** · 09-10-2008, 08:18 PM

Ok, so I guess Distorted is having a problem. Time to talk to the tech guy.

**distortedtj** · 09-10-2008, 10:47 PM

eeeeerrrrrrr........ I think I'm computer dumb...It's still doing it to me?

Done the cookie deal and my log-in problems started after I deleted my cookies. Is there anything else to correct the problem?

Cleaning out old cookies may not be enough.

Log out
Delete cookies
Delete temp internet files - very important because it's possible that you have cached an earlier copy.

Then log in again and see how it goes.

Still the same, I deleted the history,temp files, cookies and defraged.

Just live with it I guess.
