  • Cookies being stolen?

    Hi ANT

    Can you please give me a list of all cookies (and other?) used by this BB for its admin purposes? I would like to do a bit of investigation.

    I dont know if it is just my browser (IE5.5 SP2 on W2K) going nuts, but I often find posts listed as new, even though I have been on the BB after the time of post.

    I sometimes also notice that I am not logged in, even though I have requested to be automatically logged in on my next visit.

    My Cookies, History and Temporary Internet Files sometimes get "dislocated" to my temp folder giving me the symptoms you describe, ie the board not knowing who I am.
    A reboot usually gets the folders back in place although I have to relogin.

    I think the board keeps track of your read/unread messages internally and not by cookies. Nice when you're reading from more than one machine

      Thanks for the idea there Kim.

      Have checked that this is not the case though. Also - all other sites seem to remember my face whenever I pitch there, so it would seem that iot is not a generic hassle - the reason for my question.

      Currently looking at too agressive ICMP settings on the firewall as well. Will post about the eventaul culprit.
