logging in problems

[Tom]

Have you tried logging out completely and then logging in again to see if it makes a difference? Maybe deleting cookies?

what are cookies?

[Tom]

Cookies are files which are placed on your computer when you visit web sites. The forums here use them to log us in and out. They keep track of when we last visited and which posts we have or have not read. Lots of web sites use them. Cookies are ways of keeping track of personal information. It sounds like it thinks you are logged in in some ways but not in others. Logging out might be enough to clear away the bothersome cookies which keep you from logging in again (they say you are logged in and nothing needs to change). It might not be enough. You might have to delete them all. On internet explorer this is done by going to the tools menu, selecting internet options, and clicking on "delete cookies".

Hi! This is my first post... "Yay!"

But this is to help my friend, Drums61999... He can't log in!!!

He says that when he tries to log in...it says "Congrats, you've logged in" but, when it goes back to his screen it tells him that he hasn't logged in at all!

Thanks for your help!

hello to  the people

i will come to the forums and i will be automatically signed in,  but when i click "personnel" if i want to change my profile or check my private messages, it will tell me that i must be logged in, even though i already am and take me back to the main forum and tell me im not logged in because my username and password boxes will be there..... and even when i fill them in and click sign in, i will be told that ive logged in succesfully and ill be taken back to the main forum site again and it will still show me that im not yet logged in.
