    Hey, GRM folk:

    For some reason, I cannot be logged in while viewing the Off Topic board. It tells me I must log in to post a new topic.

    When I log in, it takes me to the main GRM splash page. Following the link to the Community logs me out again. If I go to Off Topic, I'm still logged out. HOWEVER, if I go to many of the other boards - GRM, Classifieds, Feedback - I am actually still logged in without authenticating again. But any time I click through the Off Topic board it acts as if I am logged out. Hope I'm not in time out or anything.

    1) HIt reload. You may not be logged out at all.

    2) Clear your cookies. Your GRM cookie may have gone bad, which can cause all sorts of weirdness.

    3) Log out, then log back in.

    This isn't GRM specific advice, it goes for any site on which there is any sort of authentication weirdness. 50% of all authentication problems are a bad cookie. The other 50% are users who can't remember their own username and/or password.
