I have had probs for months!
My prob is...
login from home page,
get a mssg. "You have logged in successfully"
Click OK
Go to discussions, top says "welcome guest"
I log in again,
get mssg that my password is wrong (I haven't changed it!)
I log in ONCE MORE with the SAME password since home page...
I'm IN!! FINALLY!!! sheesh!

Note that this is only when I delete cookies, otherwise I am always logged in.

It happens to me every time I clear cookies as well.. This just started for me within the past few days, although I don't always clear my cookies..

Long story short. When you request a new password from SMC that works for main login but still need to use your old password to get into the discussion groups
This is true and thus, one of the repercussions of the software upgrade I performed some time ago to seal a security risk...
Just for clarification, I only use Firefox at home and do not experience these issues, so I do not think Internet Explorer or Firefox treat cookies any differently...
At work, the network doesn't store any cookies so I have to log in all the time both on the Home Page and the Discussion Areas! I accomplish this without incident.
This would lead me to think that perhaps psswrds may get typed in wrong as both systems are CaSe Sensitive... I find it strange that entering the same psswrd in the Discussion Areas isn't recognized until you enter it several times...
I would like to help, but I'm not sure where to focus... Still open for discussion...

I only use Firefox as well, and don't normally clear my cookies, and if I do, I get rid of all but any of the forums I visit. 

Most times I've noticed that I don't even log in to the main page. I couldn't find a spot to change my password on that page. I'll try to trigger this some more when I get a chance and maybe narrow it down a bit more...

Look on the User Menu, click My Profile --> Edit --> Update Your Profile --> Contact Info

Most of should have the same psswrd for both systems.
