Did Something Change with the Authentication?

Only one of the two browsers I frequently use can stay logged-in, since sometime earlier this week. Did something change? With the afflicted browser, I can log in successfully, but when I change to another page, my authentication is lost. This effectively renders the board read-only.

I am able to use that browser normally on other sites, and my other browser still works here, obviously.

Sounds like a cookie issue.
What browsers are you using?

I'm loathe to say, because it basically got me kicked off another forum. Hope that doesn't happen here, but I often use lynx. Yes, I have already been called a luddite.

I don't know why it'd keep cookies just fine for other sites, but not this one. At the same time, Opera and Firefox both appear to work fine for me. Makes little sense to me.
