Hi Brad, and thanks for all of your work on the new site.
Firefox evidently won't complete a sign-on if it's set to disallow all cookies, which is my normal preference. Now set to "ask every time", it seems to be working OK.
Cookies are definitely required to operate this board with an account. It is how sessions are kept track of on this site, and most others. I assure you that there is no harm in allowing them here.
Anywhere that requires a login typically requires a cookie. Too many things on the net break without accepting cookies. At least accept cookies from the originating site and reject 3rd party cookies. I accept them all, but flush the cookies every now and then.
Yes sir, you are quite right, and that's exactly how I've been doing it up until a few weeks ago. Then just for the hell of it I tried the default of not accepting any cookies, and to my surprise all of my mutual funds and banking sites bought it, so I just left it"off".
Absolutely not a problem, just another interesting internet browsing artifact.
