i dont know si this a bug or something, but everytime i login to this forum i need to do it twice. like for example:

- i open http://neurohack.com/transcendence/forums
- i clock "log in" in the upper-right part of the screen
- i input my username:Dalva and my password:******************( no, it's not that long :p)
- i make sure everyting is correct, and i click login
- then i come back to the index, but not yet logged in, there's no "Log out [Dalva]" at the upper-right corner.
- then i repeat the login procedure for the second time.
- finally i logged in. but, there's still a problem, the new post notificator (Image) beside topic is invisible, so i need to see the date manually, and it's very annoying.

is it just me, or did someone else stuck in this problem?

sounds like you have cookie issues with your browser, try purging your cache and cookies and a reboot never hurts too.

I also have this problem. I just assumed it was my security settings in IE7. I deleted all my cookies and that didn't help.
I just live with it. I'd rather have to sign in twice here than have to worry about all those other sites and that 'FUN' stuff they like to give you.

If you're having problems with Opera I'd blame the browser. It's gotten really spectacularly wonky for me since the last update in both Windows and Linux.

In addition to having trouble loging into things it's been failing to render images at random and intermittantly losing background colors and fonts.

This is the first issue I've had with IE7. Now let me tell about my experience with service pack 3! After installing ALL my network drivers were disabled. CPU speed was dropped to around 20-25%. After spending around 1 hour trying to get things back to normal I just rolled back the update and everything was fine.

Which is why I suggest Firefox or Chrome. The only thing IE is good for is keeping your history secret, which isn't too much of a problem anyway.
[schilcote] It doesn't have to be good, it just has to not be "wow is that the only thing you could think of" bad

bu, when i see a topic from e-mail notification link and login when i click "post reply" like this:

- i open my email
- i click a reply notification link
- transcendence forum shows up already in that topic
- i click "post reply"
- it says i need to login, then i login, it only takes once, then
- i make my reply
- then, wwhen i return to index, that new post notification (Image) is now visible

so i will always login after clicking my email link.

and i use Firefox 3 with a whole lot of extension, and always updated.
