This is a FAQ (frequently asked question)... if you login and try to post a message, and the site asks you to login again, your problem is with cookies

Cookies are delicious snacks that mother makes. They are also little chunks of information sent by websites that get stored on your computer. If you can't stay logged in, you are running software on your computer that blocks cookies, or else your browser is configured to not accept cookies. If it's your software, check your firewall settings or any special program you use that deletes your cookies. If it's your browser setting, try to change them. Cookies are safe and are not a security risk 99.9% of the time.

You need to accept cookies to be able to stay logged in.

After you have adjusted your computer's browser or software to allow cookies, make sure you click the "Remember Me?" button in the login box... that will give you a new cookie. And then you're off to the races.

What Kelly says is absolutely right, but I'd add that it is often a good idea to "clear the slate" as it were, before doing what he writes above.

The best way is in your browser window (this is for Internet Explorer - the others must be similar) to go:

Tools>>internet options>>delete cookies (and do so)>>delete files (and do so, including offline ones).

Then close all your open browser windows and when you re-open, you should have no problems logging in anywhere!
