I can't get into the forums that require passwords. I've tried enabling cookies and then asking to make sure I was doing it right and it didn't work. I type in the password click log in and it just takes me back to the log in screen.
That happens to me sometimes... Clear cookies, log in, and try again. Or alternatively, you could do what I do and go with Safari.
Also clear forms and temporary internet files. If you use IE7 or Firefox the option is there along with cookies, in Safari it's all lumped under Clear Cache.
I'm using IE7. My Tools > Internet Options > Security tab is set to "Internet" i.e. unrestricted, and my Privacy tab is set to "Medium"
sorry for being so late in replying. Turn the blocker off, try to gain access. If you are in, then that's the problem. The blocker should have an option to allow particular sites through. Tell it to allow AW through.
