Netscape still won't let me remain logged in. Hasn't for over a month. And my
software hasn't changed.
Internet Explore will let me log in and stay, but Javascript Errors out every
time I try to up load a picture.

What happened to the browse and choose option you used to have?

I just shortened the length of the cookie Brickshelf was using to keep

The length was 64 characters (for the attribute value) plus
the normal length for expirateion/destination etc.  The token length
is now around 15 characters.  Even though the old method was tested
on virtually every browser and platform, I suspect some proxy servers/
transparent caches had problems with the longer cookies.  Interestingly,
the old system worked fine through Squid, the open source proxy on which
many other products are based.  If anyone knows which proxy/caches
@home used, I'd like to know :)
