I'm permitting all sites to set cookies with no restriction in FF and entering a good password (tested by entering bad password and receiving expected error).  I get the login confirmation page, then redirected back to the main forum page only to find that I'm not logged in.

Any ideas?

Clear all your cookies and try again.

Ive found that 99% of the time when people are having problems logging in its because they need to clear their cookies.

I tried to find this post shortly after making it, but I couldn't.  I was going to delete it, as I finally figured it out.  Oh, and I cleared my cookies, and even tried to use the link to delete cookie set by WW.

Here's what happened.

When I installed FireFox, I imported all my IE favorites and cookies.  I set exceptions for *.hazelip.com, www.hazelip.com, and out of desperation, even www.hazelip.com/forum.

I set my browser to allow all cookies, and I was logged in without any problem.  I then came here to post my issue, and found that I was already logged in.  Odd, I thought, as I've never been here through FF.  I posted my problem and then set my browser back to not allowing any cookies and discovered that I couldn't log in here.

I set browser exceptions for this site in the same multiple URL formats, and discovered that I could not log in here.  I manually removed the cookies for this site, set the exception to www.webwisguide.info and restarted FF just to make sure.

I could then log in here.  I repeated those same steps with my own site's cookies, and set the exception to just www.hazelip.com and found that I could log in just fine.  Deleting all cookies would have been like using napalm to get rid of crab grass in my lawn...

Thanks for your suggestion, but I got to the root cause and resolved the issue.
