I can't sign in no matter what I do or which browser I use

[safeguy]

OK. It's hard enough for me to get online these days and now that I do, I can't sign in to this forum...no matter which browser I use.

The only way I can post here is to click on the "Post Reply" button for a particular thread and then post. But once that's done, I'm still not logged in and I have to repeat the same procedure each and every single time...that's purely annoying, isn't it?

Is this some kind of a bug/fault on the forum or my account? Or is anyone else having this same problem?

@Raymond

Can you please look into this matter?

P.S. I don't think it's a problem on my side as I've already tried clearing cookies/cache, etc and have tried IE and Firefox...all with the same result. Please help!!

If it affects different Browsers maybe try with your Firewall switched off.
Also A Squared if you use it, It block's a lot of websites and this may be one of them.
Just a matter of finding the cookie it has blocked and then allow it.
Check the rest of your security programs as well.

I (and a few others) experienced a similar problem some months ago. If my memory serves me right, Raymond said that it had something to do with kontera. Raymond made some fixes and it worked.

No error whatsoever. It's just that whenever I input my user-name and password, trying to log-in...I'll get the "automatically redirect page" but all I get then is back to the main page but without my name logged-in in the upper-right corner of the forum.

I have no choice but to click on the Post Reply button.
And then I get 'logged-in' but for a temporary period only...as soon as my post is posted, I'm literally "logged-out" again.

@jock

I've tried disabling my Firewall. Same exact results...back to square one. And nope, I'm not using a2 and as for cookies, I've not specified to block any cookie whatsoever...any other ideas?

@biscuits

Upon seeing the mention of the word "kontera", I'm reminded of my hosts file which has a kontera entry in it. I've already removed that and a few others but still nothing works.

@Others

Anyone else has any idea? This "bug" is annoying the crap out of me..

I had experienced a similar problem in January .
But now everything is ok and no problems at all for me .

Didn't Raymond have to reset something to fix that??Just a guess!!

I had experienced the same problem a week ago or so. But when I tried to login after a couple of hours it worked and now it is working absolutely fine. Maybe it will work for you after some time. Try after some time.

Have you tried clearing your Cookies and Cache? I recommend doing it with CCleaner
