Yep, go to the forum section and then log in, and have the remember me box checked. Or manually change some of your internet settings. How your browser manages cookies and that will free up the log in at the homepage.
I have the same problem. Never had before on IE7, but as soon as I went to sp3 on XP I noticed it.
So, if I understand this correctly, people are having trouble logging into the site from the homepage without the remember me box checked?
If you are having this problem, please let me know what your web browser and version are, as well as the OS you are on. Also, check your computer’s clock and time zone.
For me it is with or without the remember me box checked. Both ways will send me to the “Than ks for logging in page.” Where you redirected to whatever you were doing. Once I am redirected, it doesnt show me as logged in anymore. Once I click on Forum, I can log in just fine.
I am on Windows XP Professional with SP3 and all the latest updates. My browser is IE7. Time is correct, set at GMT -8:00, Pacific Standard Time.
