To which Kevin now replies:
I just had to complete the news posting set-up again now to post this via HTTP.
My sign in expiration is currently set to manual/never sign out. I have had
very few instances of losing my cookie for Lugnet; the difference seems like it
might have something to do with being permanently signed in with member ID.
I use Norton SystemWorks regularly to keep my harddrive in top form, but my
cookies are protected against deletion, as is my Netscape cache. My
cookies.txt file contains a list of about 60 or so cookies, some for sites that
I have not visited in over 6 months or more. The Lugnet cookie is about
halfway down the list which indicates that it may not be a NEW lugnet cookie,
but has been resident for some time.
I am still baffled by this disappearing lugnet cookie things, but I can
certainly survive. I just wanted to inform you incase sign-in is affecting
news posting cookie somehow.
