there are areas of this site that are only accessible to the admins and mods.

Or you might not be logged in. :P

copy and paste one of the links in here and let's see.

That error is a cookie error on your end. Its annoying I know, but there is not much I can do about it.

One thing you can do is use a better web browser then Internet Explorer. Go to http://www.mozilla.org and get the latest version.

A quick fix to your problem is to delete your cookies.

Hhehe.. My IE broke a while back.. So I went to Mozilla and got the browser..
I broke it too

No problem tho, just re-installed a test version and it's been fine ever since

Once you get used to the way it runs and get all the extras installed, which it will prompt you what you need and when, even taking you to the install so you don't have to look for it, it runs fairly well.

to describe me as computer illiterate wouldnt even scratch the surface of my lack of tech knowledge. i dont know what a cookie is, much less a cookie error. any help appreciated.

hahaha!
we have all been there at some point

Usually for Internet Explorer, you can go to your desk top (where all the icons are) and right click the IE icon and choose properties.
You will see a box to let you delete cookies, another for delete files.
Just be sure you know all your passwords before clearing all the cookies out

Click on the one for deleteing cookies and allow it on the pop up that appears.
Delete files lets you knock out all the internet content storage and the offline site stuff too.
Do this when the browser is closed also, so it will get all the cookies etc.
Then log back onthe site and check it out.
