Forum login not successful on one computer.

If logging in does not work on the Elemental forums on one particular computer (Chrome and Firefox browsers), and quoting and replying (when previously logged in), how do I make it again work?  Custom images of members don't show up as well.  I might have corrupted something when it took a while to post a post, but its strange that Firefox (which I didn't use initially) also had the same problem.

Any ideas on how to fix it if it still needs fixing?

Best regards,
Steven.

If it is only on one machine, I would suspect you introduced some malware.

It doesn't seem to affect other web-sites though (which is strange).  I think I'll do a boot-time scan and then see what happens.

Another thing to try: clear out your temp files and cookies.  We recently changed our cookie system slightly, but with the side effect that all existing cookies were considered to be invalid.  It's possible that an existing cookie is affecting the new cookies.

You can also try upgrading to the beta branch of Chrome and to Firefox 4 to see if that changes anything.  I wouldn't recommend keeping them forever, just do it as a test then downgrade.

Check to see what extensions/plugins you have installed for each browser to make sure there isn't anything that might affect page load.

Finally, run some anti-spyware and anti-virus apps to see if there's anything that could be affecting your system.

It may be due to incorrect password you are typing or there may be caps lock on of your keyboard.
