Dear Todd,

I posted the following message some time ago, but never got any answer. The
problem is that my son and I seem to have to share the same user ID as it
seems Lugnet can only access one cookie at a time. I *hate* posting under
Marcus' name and he refuses to post under mine (!) Is there a solution to
this ? I imagine one solution would be for me to change the cookie each time I
wanted to post a message (to mine), however then I need to know more about the
way Lugnet uses its cookies and where they are stored.

thanks

Franz-Michael

OLD MESSAGE

My son and I share PC at home. We both follow the lugnet.robotics group and
post messages there. My son was the first to subscribe and post.

However, when I wanted to post later and made a new set-up I found out that the
robot does not accept two different users on one PC ? So my cookie erased
his...

He just posted a message using my E-mail address. We use different E-mail
addresses. What can we do to both be accepted as members?

Thanks

Franz-Michael S. Mellbin

(...) Not yet, no. Not directly anyway. (...) Your best bet would be, as JeremyS suggested, to use Navigator with its multiple profile feature, or to use a real newsreader (like Forte Free Agent or Microplanet Gravity, for example) when accessing (...)
