Trouble Logging onto OrlandoBands.com
We are sorry you are having problems logging on. It may be due to these pesky perks:

1. Did you sign up for an account?

This means, if you submitted your registration information using a capitol letter, you will have to login using a capitol letter.

 3. Your browser settings are not allowing you to log in!
This is an unlikely case in Internet Explorer, but It can happened. Most of the time it is due to a firewall, and your computer is not allowing any "cookies" to get through. Double check this setting by:

Check your Cookie setting by opening an Internet Explorer page, then navigate-->tools-->Internet Options. Now you can the Security Tab to your level of protection. You can set a custom level here as well. Under the Privacy Tab, you can click "Advance" and select more options to adjust your cookie settings.

A) A generally safe setting in most all browsers is:
 -Always allow first party cookies (i.e. cookies from the originating site)
 -Always allow session cookies (i.e. also cookies from originating site)
 -Disallow or prompt for third party cookies (i.e. cookies that are set from banners or pop ups)

BE AWARE! If you have a third party software such as a firewall, or pop-up blocking software running on your computer, you may need to adjust the settings of this as well! Check with the software provider for details on their products.
