Almost -- the default value is actually
-.off-topic. -.admin.
but that's most likely not relevant to the problem you're seeing.

Bizarre. I wonder if it might be thinking that www.lugnet.com doesn't match
.lugnet.com ? (It's supposed to, and if it doesn't, it's a browser cookie
bug.) Am I correct in hearing that you did get a different value to store OK?
If so, what was the old value that works OK? Does it have any "funny
characters" in it?
What happens if you shut down NN and manually edit the cookies.txt file to
add the cookie manually? Does it report it correctly in that case?
