Mike, Sessions are defintly not sticking. If you simply reload page 1, you get a new CFID each time. However, if you pass the token that is shown, like this: http://bluegrass.org.au/1.cfm?CFID=275755&CFTOKEN=84747459, and then reload the page, the session does stick. So the problem is apparently that the session is not planting the cookie that track the session between requests.
So, you could just append the #urlToken# to all of your anchors and it should work. This would also negate the need to have cookies enabled in the browser. Why it is not planing the cookies I do not know...
