You can't log into the archives whilst logged into the ordinary forums, so if you've got it set to "remember me" you won't be able to log in. It asks for username and password, gives the "thank you for logging in" page, then goes back and you're still not logged in. You can get around this by using a separate browser, for instance if Firefox is your main browser you can use IE to log into the archives. HTH
