I apologize if this is a question with an easy answer, but I've tried and failed to find the answer myself.

I can't seem to stay logged in to this site. I've made sure that I'm accepting cookies, and I've looked through my browser security settings to make sure there's nothing there that seems like it would be preventing me from logging on.

What happens is that I login, then the next page indicates I'm logged in, but after that any link I click on takes me back to a non-logged-in state. I've tried both with and without checking the 'save cookie' box.

I'm using IE 6 on Win XP.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    Are you initially coming to perlmonks.org or www.perlmonks.org? I use the latter and have never had a problem.

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

      I use both and have never had a problem. I log into perlmonks.org and can temporarily "log out" by adding the www. to the browser URI box and hitting enter. It's a matter of which URI the cookie is assigned to: www.perlmonks.org can have a different cookie than perlmonks.org.

      Why do i do this? Just to quickly verify what the diff between my user CSS and the default CSS is. Please don't attempt this trick to manage mulitple accounts, as the gods will most likely find out and possibly take away your voting priviledge.

    Now posting as myself, rather than as AM, so it's clearly working. Weirdly, I didn't do anything, but this morning at work I'm staying logged in now. No idea what happened, but thanks very much for the suggestions. Incidentally, I'm using www.perlmonks.org rather than the non-prefixed version.

    Thanks again.
