multiple instances of IE on same site

I have winxp and use IE 8. My problem is that I have 2 usernames on some web
forums. I used to be able to login using both usernames and have both
instances running simultaneously. Now I can't. Everytime I'm logged in and
try to initiate another instance the username just changes. It does not allow
me to open 2 IEs with 2 usernames at the same time. I'm pretty sure this is
just a setting but I don't know where it is. The reason I think it's an IE
setting is that when I try to login with a competitor browser as the 2nd
user...it allows it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using the File, New Session command?
