Help
I got a new computer in January. It died in a power outage--very sad. I still had the same email, but when I tried to log on to the forum I couldn't. It recognized me and my password but always sent me back to the Guest register here page. I could read the forum but not post. I've been quite frustrated.
Anyway, I finally got new email (for other reasons--long story) and re-registered as a new person with a new password, and now I can post again. I was frec and now I am frecOregon. Can anyone explain what happened? I'm suspecting something about my new computer security or something?
Could I put something on my old frec page to show I'm frecOregon now? Thanks.

I had the same thing happen (except that I killed my old computer with a bowl of stew). I switched to Mozilla Firefox and haven't had the problem since. I just figured it was something to do with Explorer...

Are you saying that your email and password were recognized, or did it say the login was incorrect? As long as you enter the email which you signed up with (or the last one which you updated in your profile) it should obviously work.

When I had the problem, it recognized my email and password, said 'logging you in' or whatever the phrase is, then snapped back to the guest page. Every time. Even changing the cookies setting didn't help. Only difference I know of is that this computer is running Vista, old computer was XP.

That is exactly what it did to me. I'd log on with same everything, it would say welcome frec, then switch me back to being a guest again. It just rejected me again even with the new email and new password and ID. I left Explorer and used Mozilla to get here and that works. Thank you both very much. And thanks Scott for trying to help. I know you're busy.

Just speculating here. One possible cause would be if celiac.com was unable to set a cookie.
