Why is the login so wonky?

[CanuckKitty]

On both my iPhone (Safari) and Windows computer (Firefox), I have a hard time logging in. I enter my login details and proceed, then it reloads the page to where I was (eg, the main forum page), showing not logged in. I have to basically poke around a few times, click on login again (which then brings me to my profile page), then click back to the forum (which shows me not logged in), and just click around until it finally shows me logged in. This doesn't seem normal.

Happens to me too.

I log in and then when it pretends that I haven't logged in, I click on New Posts and voila! I am logged in.

Here is the interesting thing. If I stay logged in my laptop, then I dont get the log in button.

I then switch to my phone and I have to log in through the workaroud.

I switch back to the laptop and when i refresh, I am logged out. But then without even hitting Log in, if I click on New Post, it works right away.

I suspect it has something to do with the way the forum handles logged in user cookies.

There is no mishandling on this website, just different techniques

It does the same to me but only thing that will make it see me logged in for me is going allllll the way down to the bottom of the page, selecting the style chooser and reselecting default. Anything else doesn't do it for me, it hates me!
