No posting window?

Anyone else having this problem with Mefi? When I go to 'comments', there's no posting window available and my name doesn't appear. So, I logged in, figuring that would make a difference. No luck. Nothing's changed on my end. So sad when old friends no longer recognize you. :>(

Are cookies enabled on your computer?

The login works by setting a cookie in your browser. Then all later frames consult that cookie to determine if you're logged in. If you have your browser (or some sort of firewall/proxy) set to prevent cookies, then it will be as if the login never happened, because the cookie that logging in creates will never actually appear.
