How does the forum remember who I am? I log in when I access the forum, but as soon as I navigate to another page within the forum, it forgets who I am (I get Hello Guest rather than Hello ///M5 at the top left of the page.) I have Auto Login set in my profile and I'm using IE6SP1 on Windows XP. -------------

Wonkydod is correct. I assume you are using Internet Explorer. Problem should then be solved. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Yes, I am using Internet Explorer (IE6.0SP1, as mentioned in my initial post) under XP. In this version, you actually configure cookie handling under Tools | Internet Options | Privacy. I currently have this set to accept First-Party Cookies but to block Third-Party Cookies. I do have Always Allow Session Cookies enabled. Unless the site is using Third-Party cookies (and if so, why?), I don't understand why my identity keeps getting forgotten. Also: Even though I enable E-mail Notify me of Replies whenever I post, I have never yet received an email when somebody has followed up one of my posts. I have double-checked my profile and the email address is valid. -------------

The site doesn't use 3rd party cookies - just your regular type so there shouldn't be a problem. The settings are correct AFAIK. Does anyone else here use IE6 (or earlier) and know of this issue. It is for reasons similar to this that I try to steer clear of Microsoft products and use Opera for a lot of surfing. With regard to the email notification - it is configured to allow emails be sent out so again Im stumpfed - anyone else getting this prob?
