Login problem

My username is actually 31dot, and I am an admin at Memory Alpha and the Law & Order wikis. Whenever I attempt to log in to a wiki other than Memory Alpha, my log in in rejected and I get the following message: "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."
When I do so, nothing changes. I can log into Memory Alpha fine, just nowhere else. I've already sent a message through Special:Contact but I didn't know if anyone here could offer help. Thanks 72.224.177.228 11:10, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
- That happened to me before, it will reload the page, then click on your user page icon on the top-right corner of the page, then it should work —Sam Wang 12:42, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

I cleared all my cookies and cache, but nothing happened(still getting that message). I made sure to reload the page as it said, but that did not do anything.
The only thing that I have done differently than normal in the last few days is access Memory Alpha from another computer. I don't know much about that sort of thing but I am wondering if that would be detected as a "problem with your login session".--72.224.177.228 21:16, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
I still have no trouble getting into Memory Alpha, just every other wiki.72.224.177.228 21:17, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
- This is very odd. Having a separate session (on another computer) should have no effect, and clearing your cookies should remove any existing session on this one. I'm also not seeing problems with any personal stylesheets...
- I've been talking to the techy types, and they have a couple of questions:
- does this happen with another browser?
- does this hapen if you log in to Community after clearing cookies (and before visiting Memory Alpha)?
- are you rejecting cookies from wikia.com?
- Those might help us understand a bit more... Thanks -- sannse

- I'm sorry- I didn't intend to be odd. :)
- I tried it with both Firefox(which I use normally) and IE, and it happened with both.
- It does happen when I attempt to log into this wiki.
- Both Firefox and IE are set to accept all cookies.
I see that someone made a post to my Wall on the Test wiki- when I am in Memory Alpha I get a message about it and when I click on the message it takes me to my Wall on the Test wiki but under my IP and not under my username.72.224.177.228 02:27, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
Additionally, when I come here and attempt to post after having cleared out my cache and cookies, and before going to Memory Alpha, my posts were rejected as "harmful". 72.224.177.228 02:28, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
I also tried creating a new account as a test and got the same error message(problem with your session). 72.224.177.228 11:49, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
I tried to turn on my Facebook Connect(to see if that would help) and I was not able to do so- the words "connect this account with Facebook" were on the screen but there was nothing to click or anything else to do.72.224.177.228 11:56, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
It seems to be working now. I'm not sure what happened exactly- but I did switch to a different antivirus program today, so I'm not sure if the previous one I had was interfering with my logins somehow, though it never did until the last few days. I greatly appreciate the efforts of those who posted here. --31dot 21:12, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
- So glad it's working! -- sannse
