I can't log in to a message board

on another site. I actually go throught the process on the log in page, it actually says welcome. But when I go to the message board I am not logged in. One more thing--when I switch to Firefox I can log in no problem. Any way I can fix this? And yes I have deleted cookies many times. Thanks in advance.

Some of them are quite picky. whom ever designed the website of the board might have forgotten to take into consideration some of them

If its set to auto you may have missed it,updates can cause problems/not saving cookies.I don't "auto-update" anything.

I run 7.xxx FF with no trouble.Adobe 10.xxx same.

I just switch to Firefox when I log on to the Post. I would use it always except I get a message saying Fisrefox is not supported by FIOS.
