It's odd. There must be something wrong with either the way the cookies are being written or read. I can look at the Cookies directory, and bob@test.cyberstreet[1].txt is there, and the Modified timestamp changes everytime I have to login again.
Wish I knew/remembered more about how cookies work. :-/

Interesting. As soon as I hit Submit, the old cookie was deleted & a new one created (Windows listed it as bob@test.cyberstreet[2].txt). And when I hit edit post, the cookie was changed again (with Windows changing the name back to ...[1].txt) -- but the boards didn't make me sign in again.

I too have the cookies problem.
System:
Win2000 Professional (latest updates)
IE 6 (latest updates)
I don't think it's browser dependent since cookies have a dictated format. The renaming issue shouldn't affect it since that is how cookies work.
It could just be that the bulletin software isn't reading the cookies correctly (after writing them) OR cyberstreet doesn't like cookie writing (doubt this one very very much).

Same here ...
I've been logging in each time - it registers the cookie insofar as when I type in my username to the login portion at the bottom of the main page it fills in my password automatically. And I have both cookies options set (checked yesterday).
I even have my logged in self bookmarked ... should be working ... but hey, this is a vast improvement over the week prior, where I didn't have my password and could only lurk, so I'm not complaining TOO much.

Ok, problem should be solved now. im doing more testing, BUT there are some cookie issues with php 4.2x and apache 2.x
Basically it would only send the last cookie, and when using vb or any other board software for that matter they all use multiple cookies. Do some testing and let me know how its working now.
