The news login page does not force a hard page refresh, so it can sometimes confuse the news login process from some browsers. You are actually logged in, but it keeps displaying the same page.
The best solution is to change how your browser interacts with TechIMO. Set the browser to check for page updates everytime it visits a page. The feature is under the cache settings in Internet Explorer.
Actually, this trick will resolve many of the common problems people notice when surfing forum and news sites.
