Here's hoping some of you fine folks more literate than I as regards computers can tell me why I am unable to get my cookie reset. I've done the "reset thing" three times, and now have three mudcat cookies on my machine, but their presence doesn't seem to be detected when I enter the 'cat. I suspect that I probably need to alter some preference or property on my machine, but haven't the slightest idea what or where, and only a vague notion of how.

It's best to ask that sort of question in the help forum but... What browser are you using?

And could it be that your browser is set to "Reject all cookies"?

I know Magician (who is very good with 'puters) has had the same problem - and now refuses to reset his cookie any more!!!

I recently stopped using MSE and shifted to Netscape 4.7. I'll try to chek the settings there in re cookies, but, as noted, I've now got 3 mudcat cookies on my machine. They just don't seem to be detected.

Not got that one to hand but I think the setting will be found by going to Edit/ Preferences and clicking on the advanced tab.

I found with Netscape that if I set my bookmark while uncookied - or if I lost a cookie; I had to reset cookie and recreatee the bookmark.

Oh and Paddymac, Netscape and IE use their own sets of cookies. IE are stored in the temporary internet files, Netscape are stored in a file of its own. It could be the cookies you are looking at are IE ones and Netscape has never allowed cookies.
