Rhubarb, I'm will put myself in CK's stead here and agree with him. I have successfully logged on to AWADTalk from several different PCs (when you need a fix, you need a fix), and as long as cookies were enabled, no problems. The fact that my profile includes a web-based, rather than POP3, email address, may be connected. If that is the case, try getting a free web-based email address from any one of the hundreds of providers out there, and then use that in your basic profile here. Bear in mind two salient caveats concerning this post: (a) I'm a gibbering loon, and (3) I'm a dead loon walking - as soon as Jackie decideds how she wants to carry out her promise, I shall be rather forcefully shunted off this mortal coil.

'Member, Sweetie? I said I was going to hug you to death.
So, you can plan on twining away for some time longer, she said with twisted humor. (Ok, Marty, humour.)

It is not your address. It is your cookie. I am able to log in from both home and work with no problems. I DID have to have my password the first time I logged in from work, but then my computer accepted a cookie from AWADTalk and everything was fine.

BTW, let us hope that Jackie shunts none of our esteemed (oh what was it -- ayleurs) off this mortal coil. Particularly Rhubarb. Can you imagine how unpopular I would become at the interment when I intoned lugubriously the threnody, "Aye, therein lies the Rhub?"

Where is Mr. xara when you need him. Rhu, send a note off the xara, I remember her hubby being pretty up on all this stuff. I'm sure he'll be able to tell you how to fix it.

And remember that Jackie signed off elsewhere: carpe Quordlepleen. It should have been dative (Quordlepleeno), but let that pass.

I say that probably what she should be saying is Quordlepleen carpe. Much more threatening.

Rhub, it's the cookies, my dear. I managed to whack myself out of the list this morning by disabling them.

Further thanks to you all for public and private messages of help, support or both (remembering the furore caused by and/or - but that was in another chunter and, alas, the thread is dead.)

My big problem now is my total lack of knowledge of "cookies" and where to find them, how to enable them, etc. As I say, it is a new machine - indeed the first bran new machine I have ever owned, all previous having been passed to me by affluent friends and relatives who could afford new ones for themselves. My detailed knowledge of computers dates back to a time nearer to Babbidge than to Gates so the software, and how to deal with it, is still shrouded by the opacity of the veils of my ignorance.
(It is a measure of my anguish that I, the egoistic and bombastic vegetative storm-trooper, will admit to ignorance about anything!)

So - recipes for cookies and how to cook them, please.

Rhub:

In Internet Explorer (or Netscape if you're using that), click on the "Help" menu item, click on "Contents and Index" and type "cookies" into the search term text box. In Explorer, the word "cookies" will be displayed and highlighted in the box below the search term box.

From this point, all the instructions are for Explorer - I don't have Netscape.

Double-click on the highlighted "cookies" item. This will tell you all about Microsoft's cookies, which are a damned sight less palatable than the ones mother used to make.

At the bottom, there will be link to "Set a security level". Click on that. Follow the instructions (and your nose).

If your security level is set too high, your browser refuses to accept cookies - and the board refused to talk to you unless you do. So you have to reduce the security level to medium so that the board and your browser can talk to each other ...

HTH

No. It might in Oz. However, I assumed TEd was pronounced the same as Ted. Is that one more whoops in my life?
