Some of you have emailed me that you are having trouble staying logged in. I've checked and rechecked the settings for the forum and they are correct. I also inquired with our server provider and am told due to us switching back and forth a couple times this week, your cookies (stored on your computers) may be corrupt.

More then likely, deleting cookies on your computer will resolve this. To do so, please follow the following instructions.

Paul - it was a problem for the interim forum but not now, at least for me. Some of you have emailed me that you are having trouble staying logged in. I've checked and rechecked the settings for the forum and they are correct. I also inquired with our server provider and am told due to us switching back and forth a couple times this week, your cookies (stored on your computers) may be corrupt.
