And the Web browser you use?

In later versions of Microsoft's IE, they instituted some default "privacy" settings which you will have to change in order to ensure that cookies set by the forum are allowed by your Web browser.

If you look at the bottom status bar, you may notice a red alert icon next to the "Internet" icon section. Double click on that, which is the "privacy report." It will likely report a number of cookies blocked.

If you add "psychcentral.com" to the list of "allowed sites" in your privacy tab (click on "Settings" from the double-click, then click on "Sites," then type in psychcentral.com and click on the "Allow" button), you'll be set.

The privacy tab is also accessible from the "Tools" -- "Internet Options" menu.

I have no idea whether this will fix the problem, but it seems like the most likely issue.......

If it's not Microsoft's IE that people are experiencing this problem with, please leave your browser's name and I'll look into it.
