OG,

I just signed on and the system did not require a password... I checked and the other ones do. Do you know what happened?

Answers

could be you have a cookie set on your system.

I just checked and it asked me for it. [I don't have a cookie]

Thanks. It's just that it ALWAYS asked for it before, and I haven't made any changes!

Possible ouchie -- I was able to access this board from Google when I typed in Meemur. I don't have cookies set! That's worth checking out. Maybe I just have Super Secret Cookies of which I'm unaware.

I emailed OG about my concern.

It is okay. I panicked too soon. Sorry. I checked the problem from another computer: the forum is still passworded. I now need to see where these cookies are in my computer. I thought I had all of them turned off, plus I purge the cashe every few days.

So y'all have figured out it's okay? Good. For those of you who don't stay up late, around midnight your password cookie expires and you have to re-enter the password whether or not you're logged on.

Yes, I messed up. This all started when I read Aunt Bee's thread and then went to see what weird things came up under Meemur in a Google search (which I was on my way to do, anyway). Not too bad, but I did find two web sites that ought to be omitted from Bruce Beach's list. I wrote to him, and he said that he would do that. At one time, I was the webmaster on 2 Y2K sites. No shame in that, but the info is outdated now, and I haven't the time or interest to update those sites with our great archives here.
