Im ssssooooooooo confused at the moment.

I seem to only be able to log in to E-I when I do it through clicking a link on my private email account to view a pm on here.
Whenever I go to log in as normal it says "Welcome,thank you for logging in" and then im taken back to the boards page without having been logged in.
When I click the link to view a pm on my email it asks me to log in and lets me through.

Is this me,my computer or are other people having this difficulty?
I am extremely confused and as most of you know I am useless with computers anyway so this has me completely bamboozled,it was never like this and has only been doing this in the last 2 days.

HHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
