I log in, but it still says I'm not logged in

This is where you log in, and don't get any error, but it still says you're not logged in. The problem is usually "cookies" being turned off or not working. To log into the site you must allow "cookies". These are not a threat to you and are required by most internet sites to work correctly. To allow cookies, you can
- In Internet Explorer, choose Tools->Internet Options->Privacy and set it to anything less than "block all cookies" or...
- Click "sites" in the same dialog box and allow cookies for www.warmshowers.org or...
- In some cases, we've seen IE misbehave and you'll need to delete all cookies (Tools->Internet Options->General->Delete Cookies)
- Try out the excellent free Firefox or Chrome browsers as an alternative. If you can't install firefox because you don't have permissions on the computer, try Firefox Portable Edition, which doesn't require any installation.
- In Internet Explorer 7 and 8 you can fix most problems by going to Tools->Internet Options and on the "Advanced" tab click the "reset" button.
- Make sure you've cleared the cache: In IE6 Tools->Internet Options->Delete Files. In Firefox Tools->Clear Private Data; check "cache" and "Authenticated sessions" and click "Clear private data now".
- Any program that blocks cookies will cause this problem. For example, CA Security Center may block cookies in all programs. Try temporarily disabling your firewall and virus protection to see if they're the problem.
