Domains on WordPress don’t work?

Every time I visit a blog on WP with a domain, in IE, the page keeps refreshing. I don’t know if this is a new bug or an old one that I just came across.

I’ve been told that it could be because of a corrupted cookie, but each time I login?

The page being refreshed is domain.com/remote-login.php?id= followed by a string of characters (different each time the page refreshes). If I visit the page without logging in, I can view the blog just fine. So this is, apparently a cookie issue.

The problem only seems to exist in IE, but the solution may not be as simple as recommending Firefox. After all, you can’t expect every user to suddenly switch browsers and a majority of Internet users are on Windows and IE.

A lot of WP users on domains are going to be in trouble if this isn’t fixed soon.
