You all have no idea how frustrated I am with the problems we are having on the forums lately with log-in issues. I honestly believe that most, if not all of these problems are stemming from Microsoft's intention to think for the entire planet and the default settings that are now being supplied for securities on Internet Explorer browsers.
What this means is that the problems are NOT on the side of the site or the server, but rather on the side of the user. Older browsers without this type of strict security setting are still performing perfectly.
Please, make sure you have done all of the following to insure that your forum stay is a pleasant one...
