Failed to confirm session key

I can't login to these forums from any browser or even a different IP address using Cyber Ghost. I can access the forums on my mobile phone however. The error I get on my desktop is "Failed to confirm session key" and apparently several other people have had this issue (I tried solving this with Google) but no one has found a solution...

I've never used that software, but from what you've written I'm guessing CyberGhost is blocking the cookies used by this site and as such you'll need to whitelist this site/create an exception in that software. When you login here it changes domain briefly so it's possibly related to 3rd party cookies if you have an option just to whitelist for that.

I get that when I try to log on at work. But, I can log on mobile and at home fine. It's really annoying.

I worded that confusingly. My regular IP didn't work so I tried Cyber Ghost and that didn't work either.

I'm surprised there's not been any word about this issue. From what I can tell it's been a thing for several years. I can login fine on my phone but not at all on my desktop, using the exact same network.
