 * 2.6.2 – Can’t log in to the admin section in IE(getting the class WordPress loop
   with no error at all) but works in Firefox
 * I’ve:
    – cleared cache and cookies, restarted browser, etc. – changed my ‘secret’
   codes – changed the name of my plugins folder, removed my plugins folder, deactiveted
   all plugins – changed my admin password – double checked my site url and home
   in wp_options through both the admin interface (in FF) and the db – had someone
   else check from a different machine that had never gone to the site before (fail)–
   I am not running a firewall – Note that WP is definitely processing the login
   info correctly because if I give an incorrect username or pword it throws an 
   error, however when this happens I also get this error: ERROR: Cookies are blocked
   or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress. –
   Cookies are, of course, enabled
 * By rights if I look at Temp Internet Files shouldn’t I see a cookie from my domain
   after attempting to log in? (Cuz I don’t). What would prevent WordPress from 
   dropping a cookie?
 * This is ridiculous………

 * EDIT: SOLVED – IE7 will not store cookies if the domain contains an underscore(_)
   so I had cafecafe_dev.xxxx.xxx and as soon as I changed it to cafecafedev I stopped
   having the problem.
