I come to this site, click on the "My Computing.Net" link on the side, and the site reads my cookie with my name, etc, so it seems to be recognizing me. But if I click on an underlined poster's name (to email), all I get is "Error: You must be coming from Computing.Net to use this feature." Is there something blatently obvious that I'm missing?

What happens if you click on the "Register/Login here" link on that error? Does it show you as being logged in? Justin

Nevermind, I didn't do enough research on cookies. I actually fixed that problem with the login. Now if you login from any .computing.net the cookie will work on any .computing.net or computing.net. I would suggest relogging in and everything should work. Justin

Justin... when I get the error screen, there is no button or link. Just the words on an otherwise empty white page. If it matters, I always seem to be at www.computing.net... not just computing.net. Out of curiosity, I broke down and tried it in IE. Prompted me to enter the name and password, I did and logged in, but still no dice. I still get the error screen with no buttons when I click to email.

Sorry, I didn't read your error message all the way through :) I assumed you had a problem with cookies. Oh well, I fixed that persistent cookie problem (which others have had) but didn't fix your problem :) Anyway, you should only be getting that error if your browser isn't properly sending a referer to Computing.Net. I don't know how to fix it but, perhaps you are going through some sort of firewall/proxy that is stripping out the referer. (I guess for security or something like that.) Justin

My apologies. I wasn't being bright enough to think that maybe the Norton Internet Security was buggering things up. If I disable it, things are fine. Sorry about that. Thanks.

No problem, good to hear you fixed it. I'm sort of glad you had this error because it got me to research/fix another problem. Thanks, Justin
