IE6 : must login manually in Forum

[JetMech]

Used Windows Update to upgrade to IE 6 yesterday and since then can not post a thread in the forum without manually logging in on each post. I also have AOL and am presently posting using it with no problems at all. As soon as I come od line in the forum with AOL I am recognized. With IE6 I'm denied access to post. Has anyone seen this before or know how to work around it. It acts as if I have chosen not to accept cookies. How do I turn this back on?

Go to IE preferences and then to the Privacy tab (I believe) to set the properties for cookie acceptance.

You can also double-click the red indicator at the bottom of the browser window to do this for individual sites.

The default security setting on IE 6 does not allow cookies. Nice of M$, but it took me a while to figure this one out as well.

1) click 'Tools'
2) click 'Internet Options'
3) click 'Privacy' tab
4) adjust the slider to accept all cookies
