Art, my father has a thingie on his computer that automatically deletes cookies every 20 minutes or so. (At least he used to... he gave that computer away.) Do you have any kind of program like that on your computer?Also, every time I log on to shorty, I have to jump start my cookie. I don't have to go through the whole process of logging out and resetting. I jump start it by going into the personal pages before I enter the forum. This does not happen for me with loki or ragtime.
I'm using an old browser and I think that may be the reason. Is it possible that you need to update your browser?
