Not Mozilla Firefox compatible!?

I have cookies enabled. Sometimes, I come to the site and get logged in automatically. Most of the times not. In the latter case, I can sometimes manually log in, sometimes not. If it does not work, it says that login was successful, but my name is still not listed in the top right corner as logout Dragon phoenix, and I can not post. I do not have a washer tool running. I come to a variety of other sites where the automatic log-in always works. It also works every time without problems when I use IE to come here, from the same two computers (home/work) where I have the Firefox issues.

 

PS: I do regularly update Firefox, every time the system asks me for it.

I still don't get the randomness. On average I think about 30% of the time I can log in without problems, the other 70% no dice. Same computer, same settings. I have exactly the same problems at work, so it is not a PC matter.

Next version!

I might have been trying to apply something not really relevant then. But IE does (or certainly did around version 5) include lots of stuff that isn't part of the standards, people then write websites to be seen in IE and it messes up in other browsers. I think Netscape did the same.

 

Incidentally, using IE Mariah Carey seems to be following me around

Every update to IE over the last year or so is a copy of something Firefox implemented months before , Firefox is also more standards-compliant (which does mean sites that aren't compliant don't always show properly) and I've had no spyware issues since switching.

These are a few errors Firefox reports in the Javascript console:

Apparently the site is not 100% written in W3C web standards. That's all i can make of it (am not that knowledgeable).

And it does not work again. On the same computer. Not important, but it bugs me no end that I can't fugire out why.

I allow cookies, and in fact this is the only site of the many that I visit regularly that fails to log me on automatically, and then refuses to do so manually (just like Verisimilitude posted)

Firefox is working fine for me to. Could it have something to do with the firewall settings? I remember at one stage not being able to access something using firefox and it had something to do with the firewall blocking everything until I changed the settings so that it would accepts cookies from the selected sites.

Strange...

It's not a problem that's replicated at any other forums...

I can't really explain it with any more clarity or understanding of what's wrong... Here's an image of it...
