Cookies Question.
I have my cookies enables but one cookie keeps coming across disabled. I visit several sites like this one where you have a log in name and password, no problems except on this one. The site recognizes me and logs me in as my name appears on current uses, similar to below, but when i try to post messages it tells me I am not logged in. I believe it is because the one cookie is coming across disabled. The site just had an upgrade and now I am having problems, but they believe it is my computer. I have tried it on my other MAC and same thing.

Hope this makes some sense. I appreciate any direction anyone can give as to explain what is going on or confirm it is their site.

Operating system on my MAC is OS X.


Many thanks.

(it's Mac, not MAC--the former is an abbreviation, the latter is an acronym, the former means Macintosh, the latter means a wide variety of things, none of which are Macintosh)

What browser are you using? Have you deleted the cookie for the site in question? Have you repaired permissions? Have you sacrificed small furry woodland creatures before the altar of Steve Jobs? Have you renounced any allegiance whatsoever to Gil Amelio, or any Macintosh developed and/or released during his tenure as Apple's CEO? Have you said the appropriate incantations?

Mac.

Explorer. Cookies are not deleted. I did delete them and started over sereral times, but same results. Don't know what permissions are, but will search. I did a possum, 2 chipmonks and I think it was a muskrat, I could not tell. My AR-15 does not leave much left. Renounced the allegiances and burn some incents while chanting, but nothing worked. That is why I am here.

Cripes. Internet Exploder? On OS X? Please don't tell me you've also been running Norton Utilities on it!

So that's the beginning of the problem, I think. Were I you I'd go with Safari, Firefox, Opera, Camino or something else that's been updated in the past six years. IE is no longer supported, as I mentioned, hasn't been updated in a number of years, and among the other browsers you'll find better support for newer standards on the Internet.

That may well be the end of the problem, as well. I hope so.

Permissions are repaired via Disk Utility, located in the Utilities folder (which is nestled inside the Applications folder). You can get there rather quickly from the Finder by depressing Command, Shift and U. Given the above info it may not help. But it won't hurt.
