Despite some people thinking it's something to do with cookies or some such, it isn't, it's actually your firewall blocking some images etc from amiga.org, go into the settings and make a rule that lets everything from amiga.org through, then you cn log in.

Wish some people would take their heads out their rear ends and actually listen after you tell them it's nothing to do with cookies for the third time...

Cyberus -

Was actually in private emails to various people (wayne included), and the reason I've only got a couple of posts to my name (though I've had various ppl post stuff for me) is because it took me so long to work out what was wrong.

I just find it annoying that everyone seems to get up on their high horse and say "it must be your browser", when many ppl (myself included) are using mozilla, which is about the most standards compliant browser out there...

Then there are the people who think it's down to cookies, even after you've said that everything else works ok (yahoo, ann, webmasterworld, etc) - and if you believe them then it's got to be a bug in the server code, doesn't it??? (obviously it's not, but you get my point)

In the end I tried re-registering, and eventually worked out that it worked with Norton off, the only things Norton was blocking appeared to be images, so I put in a rule to let everything from amiga.org through (argh!!! now I'm going to get spammed ;-P)

I probably should have said something about covering ppl's ears rather than the other end, but since it took me over 6 months to actually get on here properly (since my miggy died) I was quite rightly annoyed that so many comments on here were about cookies again...
