Can't log into forums... from home
The first thing that comes to mind is the login security thing they recently started...do you have your cookies enabled on your home computer? If they are being cleared, that might cause the problem you are experiencing....especially if your ISP is one of those "random number generators" meant to stop tracking.
I've found posting through a proxy is a problem.

This would be the case but I can take my laptop to collage and log in fine there then take that exact same computer home and not be able to log in. Whatever the problem is it's a networking issue of some kind.
I think so as well, but I have no say in this matter This is something my ISP is doing not me. There should be some kind of provision for that I would think.
Right so Whatismyip.com says I'm in maryland which is close (I'm in VA) but I still can't login to the forums from home.
I've played the Tech support game and at the end they said they would look in it and update me with any information they get. I'm not going to hold my breath....
Any one have any other ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Contact your ISP and explain that the proxy is causing a problem with logging in to this site since it uses a secure login.
They should be able to give you instructions on how to set an override for the forums on your computer(s) so that it bypasses the proxy.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I can not log into these fourms from my home network. When I sign into the forums it takes me to the redirect page and then back to the forum home but username and password fields are blank. I am positive that it's my ISP and some of the forum settings. My ISP has a proxy built into it it's some where in Texas and I'm in VA. This is the only reason I can come up with for not being able to log in. Before the forums went down for freedom I was able to log in and post just fine. And I know you all miss my witty quips and deeply insietefull wisdom.
To elaborate further I have 3 computers: a desktop, iPod and a Laptop. I can log into the forums at collage just fine on both the laptop and the iPod but as soon as I get home I am loged out when I refresh the page. I have tried to use the contact us forum at the bottom of the home page to no avail. I sent a message a week ago and have received no response. I just don't know what else to do at this point.
