Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I had a question
about posting through Internet Explorer.  When I first started posting to
Lugnet, each time I posted I was asked "Have you received permission? etc"
and I had to fill in the fields with my name, e-mail, and check off that I
understood the terms of use.  After a while, that went away.  My name and
e-mail came up automatically on my postings.  Then I moved.  I am at a new
location accessing the web through a different provider (also academic).
Now I am back to filling in every field again each time I post (even though
I'm signed in).  Anyway, should I assume that ultimately this will become
automated again, or is there something I have to change in my browser or
something like that?

Thanks,
Bruce
