Default Logging on using Macbook Air

Just bought a MacBook (first ever). Noticed when I try and log in it accepts my user name/password and comes up with a message telling I am being redirected (which is normal) but then just re-opens the home page without me being logged in.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Mygoat
Most likely you are having a problem with your login cookie.
First make sure the new computer is setup to use cookies.
If you have cookies enables but are still having the problem, the cookie may be having problems because you are using an old web address. Please try the following:

When you go to the forums, What is the address that shows at the top of your browser.

Does it start with: http://216.178.81.108/forums/...
or does it start with: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/...

If you have any bookmarks or favorites that use the http://216.178...
address, you may have problems. Please delete anything that starts with this address.

Also, please go to this page:
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/.../mycookies.php
it will show you what cookies our Forums has placed on your computer. You will probably see 8-12 cookies in the list. Please check the checkbox on the left of each cookie and click the button that says "Delete My Cookies". When
the screen refreshes it should show all of the cookies that are on your system now. Most likely you will only have lost one or two cookies from the list but every cookie has been refreshed (which is what we wanted).

Now please close all of your browsers and open a fresh one. Go to
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/ and try to login again.

Let me know, how it goes and if you have any other problems.

Thanks
Steve Craig

Thanks Steve,
I logged in in a round about way before I saw your post.
I tried to reply to someone's post as a guest so it took me to the log on screen. When I typed in my username & password it logged me on.
BTW when I go to the forums it starts with the "http//forums.perform.........
