The main page asks you to click on enter link, but clicking on the link will not
do anything.  When you press "Refresh" you can enter the page.  Same problem
occurs on other sites like www.webshots.com (login info doesn't get updated till
refresh is pressed.  
The problem is with the browser cookie setting or updating.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.gamespot.com
2. Click on "Click here to continue to Gamespot" on the top
3. Nothing would happen so Press refresh to get in the site

Actual Results:  
Go to the main page of the site

Expected Results:  
It should have gone to the main page after "click to continue" (Step 2)

Same problem on www.webshots.com 
When login info is entered and you log in to the site, then browse the gallery
and click to download a picture, it will ask you to enter the login again at
which point you need to press "refresh" and the login page will go away.

Problem with cookies.
