Logging in Issues

[natashatasha]

Hi, I found I can't log in. If I try to follow a direct link to a thread (in all cases the LGBTIQQA thread) it asks that I log in, I type in my username and password, and that it just takes me back to the log-in screen. I try clicking log-in manually and it does the same thing. The only way I got to log in at all to post this was by clicking a direct link to a PM I received, which took me to a log-in screen that worked.
I'm using IE 9.

First thing you should do is try to delete all cookies related to the forum. I don't have IE9 but in IE8 you need to go to Tools > General > Browsing History > Delete > Check "cookies" and click "delete". I'm assuming you can find more detailed instructions online.

Another thing to note is there are several available domains - forums.xkcd.com, fora.xkcd.com and echochamer.me. If a link in a post directs you to one of these domains but you're not logged in to it, you may need to log in again. This doesn't sound like the current problem, though. Hopefully cookies will be enough to fix it.

Deleting the cookies worked perfectly. Thank you so very much ♥
