Tech: My cookie won't reinstall

I use two computers at home, sometimes the desktop and sometimes my laptop; I also sign on at work and know I have to identify myself by 'Cat name since there is no cookie there. But recently I am unrecognized from home either, presumably because my cookie expired or got stale or something. I have tried the log-out, log-in, and the cache purge (which sounds awful), and have re-entered my 'Cat name and asked to have my password e-mailed since I don't remember what I used back then for sure, but it has never turned up in the e-mail. Any suggestions?

In recent weeks, when the Mudcat computer has been going through moves, floods and lightning strikes, a lot of us have had cookie problems.
We at this house couldn't persuade our cookie to stay set for quite a few days. Mrs Duck and myself use diferent browsers, I like Opera, because it does very useful things such as having multiple pages open in the same window, and you can resize any page at the touch of a + or- Key. This also keeps our Mudcat Cookies in differnt systems. We followed advice from people who know much more about PC problems, but all to no avail. Then, suddenly the problem resolved for no apparent reason.
At one point We couldn't persuade Internet Exploder or Opera to hold a cookie, but Netscape logged us in just fine. You could try using a diferent browser.
My advice is - if you have problems logging in as yourself - just keep trying every time you use your computer.
Quack!
GtD.

Thanks, all. Pene Azul, the Grand Wizard of Technology, fixed it. (I still look like a guest now only because I am at work and do not put cookies on this computer.)

can you have a cookie as a member both at home & at work? Gargoyle I still believe you are a bit like the lone ranger or one of the super heroes and also have a bonifide 'name'

Cookies are set per machine or browser so it is perfectly possible to have a cookie for the same membership set all over the place. Mine is certainly set at home and at work.
