Maverick-DBZ: your workaround works ... but it would be nice if they could fix it permanently

Having the same problem, but Internet Explorer is acting the same as well. Using a link to the forums home page, I can see the forums for a second, then, it kicks me to an error page, something about the "Team Executer database". If I stop the browser before the page fully loads, then I can see the forums. I've tried the email link in the error message, but it comes back as account closed or something. I don't really want to make another user account, but it may be the only fix. I'll be a noob again :(
I mentioned quite a while ago that Firefox seemed to have trouble logging in, but was blown off for being lazy for having to enter my password everytime, eventhough the "Remember Me" box was checked... Now I can hardly log in at all.

when it gives me the error, i press refresh, and then go to the teamxecuter forums homepage and I'm logged in... very weird.

Yeah, this is the error I get:
POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed.

One way I found to get around this was to hit Stop before it redirects me to the error page.

Found a Fix! I think...
For those of us that can log in with Internet Explorer, this should work, it did for me. Now, I wanted to make sure this would work, so I went--Tools---Options---"Clear All". (Please note that you will lose all saved passwords, cookies, history, ect...)
I then made a backup of my Bookmarks, as they are more up to date than IE's. Close Firefox and then reopen it. Select--File---Import---Next. Select which aspects to import, mainly "Cookies", but I selected everything but "Favorites". Close then reopen Firefox. You should now be able to login to the forums.
Important: Although you may not have to "Clear All" (maybe just clearing the cookies would work) I wanted to be sure. You could try just clearing and importing the cookies first.
I hope this is helpful.
