if all you can do is look at the threads and when you go to post on one it takes you to the original page to log in that means your not logged in and you need to turn on your cookies so your logged in when you visit this site otherwise you need to log in when you come here every time...

try logging in and go from there...

no you shouldnt..

make sure your cookies are turned on

otherwise it could cause what your describing ..

spybot is a wonderfull thing but that along with the other things you have installed lately is obviously whats causing this and i believe it has to do with your settings...

It is likely your McAfee utility is blocking the cookie through some type of privacy settings. i don't use McAfee, so i can't help a whole lot.

But it is for sure a cookie issue. It either is your McAfee via the privacy settings that is blocking the cookie from TGO, or it is a corrupt cookie on your machine. It depends on your operating system as to where your cookies are stored, but you may want to view your cookies and signally delete the TGO cookie. You don't have to delete all the cookies on your machine, and i'd recommend that you don't. You don't want to lose ALL your logins and preference settings for every single site you've visited. Once you delete the cookie, and you visit this site and log back in, you'll get a new one.

But i'd guess it is due to your McAfee program, so doing the above would be my second recommendation if you can't find any problem with the McAfee utility.

Try to disable the McAfee utility first, and give it a try.

You did not remove SpyBot, though, did you? You shouldn't have to, and if you did, i would recommend you re-install it. Its a good program to have installed and use.
