    Why is it that I can post in any of the forums except the regular GRM forum? Obviously I can post here, in off topic, and in classifieds, but no matter how many times I log in, when I go to the regular GRM section it insists that I log in again. It then sends me to the GRM homepage, and when I go back to the forum...you betcha, it asks me to log in again. Huh? This is on Safari 3.1.2, Mac OS 10.5.5.

    I demand the ability to share my brilliance!

    It makes you part of a super secret inner sanctum club. So secret even Tim doesn't know about it.

    Clear your temporary internet files before you log in. I have to do it every time.

    So far, Will and bludroptop are in the inner sanctum, the rest of you are just dorks.

    I just can't think of any reason why you'd have to clear temp files before you log in. Maybe once, but not more than once.

    Clear cookies. That's almost certainly the root of it.

    I'd say it's just IE6 being stupid again, except Will's on Safari.

    Still, that whole "temporary internet files" reeks of IE6. You guys know IE8 is out now, right? And Firefox, and Opera, and Safari, and Chrome... lots of GOOD browsers you can use. Just sayin'
