| Salaams, I login without a problem. The I proceed to go and read a thread in any of the forums on the board but as soon as I do that, I become a guest again! Now that I have a computer at home, this is frustrating! Checked my web browers to check if the cookies are disable but they are not! My connection to the internet has no problem either! What is the problem then? Halima |

| Checking date/time verify that the date on your computer's operating system is correct. Here are the instructions for that: 1) Click on the Start button - (I'm assuming that you have Windows on your computer, correct me if I'm wrong) 2) Click on the Settings 3) Select the Control Panel 4) Click on the Date and Time 5) Change it accordingly from here. Double-check the date even if you are certain it is correct. Sometimes date settings seem to change for no obvious reason. |
