Sorry, but that's not correct. Earlier today all I got was: http://www.unix.com/advertisement.php?url=http://www.unix.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16 I may eventually get to: http://www.unix.com/programming/ without cookies, but if I click on: <http://www.unix.com/programming/164429-access-e-mail-inbox-using-php.html> I get: <http://www.unix.com/advertisement.php?url=http://www.unix.com/showthread.php?t=164429> and it just keeps on looping for about 10 iterations and then finally ends up on the forum post. (Earlier today it wouldn't even do that - maybe they finally changed their advertisement link). Either way I'd have to agree with Beauregard... it's an issue. But hey, I realise some sites require cookies & turn them on for those particular sites. I'm just telling you that the problem with the loop (at least earlier today) is cookie related. Once I turned on cookies the site/forum worked ok for viewing. Please bottom post on this group. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
