Member Can't Log In On His Machine

[Phil Lilley]

A member here on the forum can't log in on the forum, even after Dan and I both could using his user name and pw. He's even re registered and still can't get in.

Any ideas? IE and Firefox

Are "Cookies" enabled?

Most reasons for not being able to log on is because of those dreaded cookies.

i would agree that the cookies probaby arent enabled.....need to go into internet properties and enable em and try again

I was having problems like that (not on this site, but on a tech forum). I tried everything I could think of, but what fixed the issue was disabling "windows cardspace".

Here's how you do it. Start / Run / type: services.msc / Enter / locate: "windows cardspace" / double click it / select "disable" / apply / close all open windows / restart /

It fixed my problem on that site, and also made accuweather load more reliably (before that, clicking Accuweather was a crapshoot. but now it loads right away, everytime.)

Never heard any response if this problem was resolved by the tips posted here.

Was it?

He still can't log in. We've created new accounts and everything.

Don't know what the problem is.

It sounds as if the firewall or adblocker is preventing him from logging on. Is he at home or at work? Can he install a different browser? Is his caps lock on? Has he ever used a forum? Is there a pop up blocker installed? Is he getting any errors?
