    Can't Sign Into Forums

    Every time I try to sign in on the forums here, it just sends me back to the signin page. I made a new account and it worked one time, but the same thing happened to this account the next day. The only way I was able to sign in was to go back to my registration/activation e-mail, click the link which told me it was already activated, and sign in that way.

    This happens on my XP computer, Mac OSX computer, and my other XP computer on Safari, Firefox, and IE. This doesn't happen on any forum board other than this.

    You may have to go to Internet Options (On IE under Tools) and lower you internet settings to low. Having it higher may block some cookies.

    It is on low, cookies enabled. Similar settings on my other browsers.

    Mmm... cookies.

    You could try clearing your cache, but that will clear out all of your cookies. I'm not sure how to delete specifc cookies in IE...

    For IE you can go to Internet Options and there is a button you press it'll load everything that is deleteable and then you can click Delete Cookies. I am pretty sure that should be for just IE

    Yea but... where? I see them for History, and in the Privacy tab there's a setting for Sites where you can put in specific exceptions to the privacy rule that you set. I don't see anything to handle specific cookies though.

    This is so easy in Firefox...

    Ah, there it is... but, that deletes all cookies. There's noting that I see to manage individual cookies.

    That's odd. What version are you using? I had that problem for a while, but they've updated Firefox several times since and it's been fixed for a long time now.
