I have no idea what you're talking about. However, there are a gang of people here who will answer your question within the hour I'd bet. BM |

Here's an e-mail I received with a related problem that I haven't been able to answer:

25 Jan 05 - 01:13 PM (#1388210) Subject: RE: Tech: Cookies where art thou From: Peace I had something like that happen to me Joe, way back. I think I logged out completely, cleared Mudcat from my Favorites or Bookmarks, cleared out my cookies and next Googled Mudcat. I then reenterd and logged on. That seemed to fix it at the time. Hasn't happened since. |

25 Jan 05 - 02:14 PM (#1388275) Subject: RE: Tech: Cookies where art thou From: Bill D Almost everything is controlled ny some setting on your computer...the problem is, there 'can' be several settings to adjust. I have cookie controls in 3 different places...browser, firewall, and 'web filter'. You can tell your browser to accept cookies, but your firewall thinks otherwise....and even after telling all relevant programs that you LIKE the Mudcat cookie, you may have to reLOAD the page to get the cookie recognized. (I had this problem, when I hit 'refresh' or clicked on "forum home" IN Mudcat, my browser was loading a cached copy of the page, and not looking at my cookie....doing a reLOAD..(or whatever IE calls it..I use Opera & Firefox) tells the browser to start over and go to the site and get new posts, as well as checking for a cookie and permission to use that cookie. |

25 Jan 05 - 07:40 PM (#1388591) Subject: RE: Tech: Cookies where art thou From: GUEST,Paranoid Android In Ireland, we refer to "Cookies" as "Biscuits". Is'nt it time that Mudcat changed it's cookies to biscuits and maybe the crumbs wouldn't clog up the system. |

26 Jan 05 - 07:47 AM (#1388868) Subject: RE: Tech: Cookies where art thou From: GUEST,sandra in sydney I just found my cookie file on this very new computer & deleted the strange things, and found I have multiple Mudcat & Annex/folkinfo cookies. I kept them all, even tho it appears I have 2 membeships for folkinfo (I couldn't spell my mudcat name, silly me, I'll have to ask Jon to fix it) I have 2 for buddy (CFID & CDTOKEN), 3 for Mucat (COOKIE ID, CFID, CFTOKEN) & 2 for mudcat supersearch (CFTOKLEN & CFID) Is this normal? I also checked the option that said 'Don't allow sites that set removed cookies to set future cookies' - I like that idea, even tho it means the next time I have a look at the local broadsheet paper could be interesting! sandra |

Something like default@atdmt[1]txt. Does anyone know what it is? Day in, day out, the same cookie. |
