Can't log in to the forums using Chrome.

Starting this morning, when I try to log in to the forums using chrome I get the "thank you for logging in..." redirect screen and then when the page reloads I'm not logged in. I am having no problems accessing the site through Firefox (it's what I'm using to post this) so it seems to be a Chrome specific problem. I've tried clearing both my browsing cache and all cookies related to boards.cityofheroes.com, but there has been no change. Any ideas for a next step?

i use chrome all the time on my home computer and ive never had problems logging in, although it does log me out if i am not active on the web page within like 5-10 min

I haven't had any problems previously, and I've been using chrome as my primary browser since I got it months ago. The only thing that I know of that changed this morning was that java had an update. But I'm not sure how that would have effected anything, since I only enable it for websites that need it, and the CoH forums don't. Javascript, yes, but the actual java plugin, no.

Chrome is working fine here, just tested, hadn't opened it in months.

When I got this exact same error ('thanks for logging in' - and then not logged in) I went to the plaync website and reseted my password, didn't change it, just resetted it - but it was on all my browsers.

But FWIW, these forums are weird. Ok it's an entirely different platform, but on my iPad, I still get this error on any browser that's not Safari - and all the other forums/websites work just fine with the alternate browsers I have on the tablet.

Well, changing my password on the PlayNC site didn't produce any changes in behavior. I don't post that much (as my post total compared to my join date would tell you) so it wouldn't be too much of a problem to just check once a day to see if the glitch fixes itself as mysteriously as it occured, and just use this other browser if I need to post.
