Hi Stephen,

Please describe in detail what you mean by "but then are kicked back out 
of the site". This is kind of a vague description of the problem, which 
will likely lead to some vague answers.

Here's me vague answer: 

A trend I'm noticing lately with Home computers over Office ones, is the 
rapid adoption of Popup and Cookie blocking add-ons for browsers. And of 
course, people don't know how to properly set them.

For the most part, by default these add-ons compensate for "session-
cookies" so they don't break Sessions necessarily - but if your code 
relies on any other kind of cookies, then you're users are in trouble.

I say this, because I notice Office computer "policies" are slower to 
adopt (or allow install) these kinds of downloadable "free" add-ons. 

Lately I've taken to using some of these add-ons myself to make sure my 
systems keep working. And I noticed two things:

~~ Never rely on standard cookies (session-ccokies are still fine).

~~ Popup window killers are not very smart, and sometimes can't tell the 
difference between a user-invoked "window.open" and an event-
invoked "window.open" call.

Hope this helps. Cheers....
