If you are suffering from problems logging into the WoW Europe Forums web site, Specifically if you log in correctly but it just shows you the login fields again;
here is the solution:

The post is difficult to find if you don't search for just the right phrase (me cursing trying to find it a second time after not bookmarking it
)
Anyway, what worked for me was to use the proxy IP (make sure you are using the proxy IP and not YOUR IP) and set the Port to 80 (not 8080) and set all the others to use the same method.
The post gets a bit technical so here's the solution extracted from there:
Solution
The solution in all cases involves manually setting up appropriate proxy server settings in your web-browser. I am going to describe in detail the necessary steps.
First, you need to determine whether your web-traffic is indeed currently going through a proxy server or not, and if so, what is its name. If it's not, then your problem with logging in is probably caused by something else and this post does not apply to you. To check this, visit this page:

If you are going through a proxy server, you will see a repot like this:
Proxy Server Detected!
Proxy Server IP address: W.X.Y.Z
Proxy Server Details: name.of.proxy.server
Proxy Reports IP as: A.B.C.D
At this point, make a note of the name of the proxy server (indicated in bold in the example above), as you will need it. Next you have to configure your web-browser such that all traffic (both HTTP and HTTPS) goes through the same proxy server. The steps for this are different for each browser, the exact steps are explained here for Internet Explorer 6.
1) In Internet Explorer, go to Tools->Internet Options->Connections tab.
2) Click "LAN Settings" button on the middle right. A new dialog box should open.
3) Uncheck the "Automatically detect proxy settings" setting if it's checked.
4) Under Proxy Server, check the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" setting.
5) In the Address box, type in the name of the proxy server you found above (the bold part). In the Port box, type 8080. (80 for IBurst)
6) Click the Advanced button. In the new dialog box, make sure the "Use the same proxy server for all protocols" setting is checked.
7) Hit OK sufficient number of times.
If the above doesn't work for you, you can also try with Port number 80 instead of 8080, which may work for some people. For other web browsers, you need to make the equivalent settings, i.e. specify a proxy server manually and make sure both HTTP and HTTPS traffic go through the same one.
