Problem Setting Preferences

[Bud Helms]

Is anyone having a problem besides me setting their preferences?

I turned off Anonymous Cookie and have cookie preferences set to accept only those that are sent back to the originating server.

Using Netscape Communicator 4.04.

Way over my head. Hopefully Spark will check in on this one.

If you don't allow a cookie to be stored on your system, your preferences aren't going to be set on any UBB forum you visit. Nor are you going to be able to see when the latest posts are, because it's not going to store your "last visited time" on your PC. My suggestion is to turn your cookies acceptance to "on".

Thanks, Spark.
Now I understand the question. :)

Well, cookie acceptance isn't really turned "off". It's a conditional acceptance, as in "accept only those returned to the originating server".

However, I set my browser for "Accept all cookies", closed the browser, spawned it again ... no luck. I think it's something else, but if no one else is having the problem, I'll keep checking my end.

Thanks for the response, guys.

Netscape is a pain in the butt. I went through similar problems with it, too. My history file showed more bytes than were allocated for that file, my dropdown URL menu froze, and wouldn't register new entries, etc, etc. I had a professional programmer work on it to no avail. The only thing I've heard worse about than Netscape is AOL. Finally deleted the damn thing, and installed Internet Explorer, no problems since.
