The instructions at 10 Oct 06 - 05:50 PM for registering a site to be "always allowed" are the usual (simple) method, and usually they work okay. In some cases, however, if IE is open when you clear temporary internet files and cookies, a few things "in use" at the time of the cleaning may not be deleted.

If you CLOSE your browser(s), and go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on "Internet Options" you'll get the same window as when you go to Tools | Internet Options from inside IE. The difference is that since IE (or your other browser) isn't open, none of the files you want to remove should be "in use" and everything should get cleaned out.

With IE open and "at" mudcat, it's possible that Delete Cookies would fail to delete the (corrupt?) mudcat cookie because the cookie file was "opened to read." Closing the browser, and doing the same "Delete Cookies" via Control Panel should assure removal.

For Jeri:

Since this is a "system setting" putting mudcat.org into the "allow" list at the Internet Options, Privacy Tab, Sites button, should apply to any (Windows compliant) browser used with the system; but that can't be guaranteed, so those using another browser may need to look for a place to set a permission of this kind within their other browser.
