I visit the mobileread site daily.
At work I use Windows XP and Mozilla engine based browser. I can log in without problems.

At home I use FreeBSD and various Linux distributions to browse the internet. About a month ago I started to have a problem with logging in. I type in name, password, click on "Save?" checkbox and clickk on "log in" button. After that I see a redirection screen saying something like " Thank You Kacir for logging in, you will be redirected ...." and then I am redirected, but I am NOT logged in.
If I delete all cookies originating from mobileread.com I CAN log in, but when I refresh the page or try to post a message I find myself logged off again.

I experience this problems on several independent systems from FreeBSD 6.0 Release (about couple of years old) with a quite old version of Firefox to the newest Ubuntu Linux with the newest and greatest incarnation of Firefox.

My cookies are switched on, and I have no problems with logging in to various other sites (like Groklaw).

Is there anybody out there succcesfully loging in from a non-windows machine?
