Using Opera 6.01... when I log in, every time I go to a new page I am logged out again. This makes it impossible to post.

How am I posting this, you may ask? Well, I'm using IE spit where it seems to work, but I don't want to have to do this each time.

I never used to have this problem even with the new software, it's only come up in the past couple of days.

It sounds to me like you have Cookies turned off. Check your preferences. You won't be able to use the site unless you have cookies enabled.

Hmm, cookies are all on. It's set to accept all cookies from all servers.

i understand that Opera has some major, nonsensical flaws. i was using it until about 2 weeks ago when it was causing my whole darn computer to crash everytime it had to work. i'm back with explorer now. everything's been fine since the switch.

I wish i could help with this - it REALLY sounds like a problem with Opera. I'll look into it though...

It really sounds like a cookie problem - whether that be a cookie problem with Opera or with people having cookies turned off I couldn't say. I'll send Cal a link to this thread...

Well, I'm now using the same version of Opera at work, and it's fine, so it doesn't seem to be Opera. (I dunno where you get this stuff about Opera having major nonsensical flaws, Utopia... IE is far worse IMO, and has crashed me far more times. The only benefit of it is that people write specifically to get around those flaws.)

anyway I think that this might imply that it is the cookies on my home machine that are buggered somehow, so I will try deleting them, which helps sometimes.

I deleted all my cookies and now it seems to work. Looks like I had a bad cookie. Let that be a lesson to me.
