I cannot post, register, do anything but read posts, anytime I click on anything other than posts I get took back to the screen with
the different forums. I did all of what you asked me then and have tried a new browser (Netscape 6) but still the same results.

I have exactly the same results on the musky board.

I used to post on here about 2 years ago but then the computer broke and I was off the site for about a year. Since I've gotten the new computer I've not been able to post
on your site.

I had the same problem initially on the Musky hunter site but their webmaster did something on their end and fixed it. I believe he said something about me being
previously logged into the system under a different name.

I have windows xp and the explorer 6 browser along with Symantec security.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is frustrating.

Thanks

After I installed Norton Internet Security 2001 I had the same problem. When I disabled the Privacy Control every thing worked fine. Hope this helps.

I was having the same problems. I use Zone Alarm Pro as a firewall.
What you have to do 1st is set your browser to accept session cookies and set your firewall to do the same. If you have problems with this the help section on your firewall will tell you how to do this. You will however want your browser and firewall set not to accept all cookies, since these can be used to record your viewing habits, personal information, even banking and credit card information.

Hope this helps.

I had a somewhat similar problem with my computer awhile back at a different site. I had installed software that automatically closed any pop-up windows.Once I disabled that function it worked fine. Good luck
