Has anyone noticed that the sign in on this site sucks...

Ok, first off, I love this site and it has been organized very well. However, I have noticed something that is quite irritating here at home and at work computers. When you first open the site and sign in immediately everything goes smoothly. However, If you first take a look at a couple posts and then decide to make a comment it will not let you sign in. You have to close the page and reopen and sometimes even clear the cache and come back to make it work. Why is this?

I've never had to do that. If you're reading comments, there's a link right below the last comment that tells you to log in. Just click on that, log in and you're taken right back to the same screen.

I've only had issues with my work computer's version of IE crashing occasionally due to my hospital refusing to embrace anything but IE 6...

But at home I use IE 8 Beta, Firefox 3, and Google's Chrome browser and I have NO issues with any of those. Everything runs smothly.

I've never had any such problems with IE7, Avant, or Firefox. On the other hand, I never log out of the site when I leave, and I keep my log-in information saved on the computer, in any case.

By the way, Henning optimized the site for Firefox. You should have no trouble at all if you use that browser.

I've never had a problem. I keep my option set to auto-login when I'm on the site and then I just click the "reply to" link. The only time I ever have to log in is if the DVDCLOWN server is rebooted.

PS: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I've had no problems in ALL browsers. However, there's a nasty malware virus that's currently been hitting IE7 and Firefox browsers. And it's a real annoying one, so be careful and get the latest security updates from MS.

The virus causes a random site to open up a new browser session. When it does, it's just like an annoying popup that can take a few clicks to get rid of. Here's the real bad thing about it: You're anti-virus software will find it, take action to delete it, but these jokers made it so when you reboot your system it just re-executes the virus making it near impossible to get rid of.
