I appear to be logging on with my username and password, but the secret session, and other links in the upper right hand corner of the homepage, do not appear.
I'm using internet explorer on my girlfriend's computer. It used to work fine. The only thing that's new is DSL, but I had this problem before that.
Any help?

Try going to you temporary internet folder and delete the cookies. Then go back and log in again. That should fix the problem
