Computer guys, a question...

I have a couple news sites I frequent and comment on various articles, the Fox News site and Oregon Live.
When I go to the site it shows me as signed in on their home page but when I click on and go to an article neither site lets me see the comments associated with the article nor do they show me as signed in so as to be able to comment. I've tried it from computers other than the one I regularly use (the one I'm on now) and it allows me to sign in and comment normally. It used to work just fine but a couple weeks ago started this new behavior. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium and IE 11.
Any ideas as to what I need to do to correct this??
Thanks

BTW, MS is about to drop all security support for Win 7. Your current bug may seem like small potatoes if you get hacked. May I politely suggest you upgrade to 10 or switch to Linux?
Win7 goes off support on Jan 20, 2020 so you still have time there. Win10 isn?t a bad jump. MS is trying to get more like Apple with ?smaller? Operating System updates getting pushed to you regularly along with some app changes to office and anti-virus.
Most sites should still work fine with Win7 though. It seems like you might have a cookie problem on the other sites, at least I?d suspect it. Maybe you should go in clear your cookies from your browser and sign back in and accept cookies when you do.
Or download the Google Chrome or Firefox browser - both free - and try it with one of those. Again be sure to accept cookies when you log in.
I am NOT an IT whiz, but some problems are simple to solve. With 'pooters, always try the simple things first.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Thin mints from last year? They don't last that long in this house!
Well, I tried deleting history, cookies, and all that stuff then re-logging on to everything and that didn't clear things up. I guess next I'll try using Chrome since it's already on the computer. Thanks for the input, folks.
