My guess was that the security settings were blocking the cookie because of a lack of a compact privacy statement.  It would, for a time, maintain what are called "session cookies" that would let me navigate for a time, but if an action "handed me off" to a sub-server before bringing me back to the forum, it lost the session cookie and appeared to go "braindead" until I re-logged on.  I'm guessing by essentially putting the forum into my "okeydokey" safe list, it's enabling regular cookies and keeping me logged in.

At least, that's my theory.  I could be wrong. Smiley

EDIT:  That appears to be it.  I even hit the "Jump to...GO" button and it kept me logged in this time.  Woohoo!  Seems we figured that one out.  And none too soon, either!  I was really worried I'd have to install that satanic commie Firefox software!  Grin

I'm glad you two figured it out. Never knew about that privacy policy in IE7. And if you didn't , well , you never know you might have taken a liken to FF and its many available handy plugins.

Glad you found the answer! Security is nice, but it sure gets in the way some times.  Smiley

Thanks, seems to have helped me too.  IE7, had to unblock the ScanNow.org site.

Just for follow-up...I've been running a couple days now with the "fix" for IE7, and it seems to be working fine.  No log-outs, no problems with cookies, all is right with the world.

My work here is done.  Grin
