OR... something else. can't say since I don't know more about the problem. It is NOT on this end--server wise. But... Your account COULD be corrupt though.. but that is highly unlikely.
Try making a new user called 'test_felix' and be sure to use a different email address. see if you can logon and post. If so, then we have found the problem.

I don`t think it`s the proxies causing it, he said that he CAN login from school, and CAN`T login from home. Since he can still login from school, it can`t be a corrupt account- if it were anything on the forum end, he wouldn`t have been able to post this message, right (and apparently it happens at other forums aswell) ??

Like Andrewas said, it probably isn`t the machine, since it`s been through a format.
Which leaves *drumroll*...
The ISP
or
A format-surviving virus.
Most likely the ISP, though- viruses are atleast a little more destructive than this, usually... [/QUOTE]Ah. Hmm. Yeah, that is all I can think of too.. maybe his ISP's DNS is not updated or something is screwed up in a router between his ISP and our site via nameserver DNS.
I wonder, does he have AOL installed? at home?
Larry has this problem too.. on many sites as well. odd.
