I have been accessing this board through the optional cookie URL, and I have to tell you I like it better.
I like the identification of new posts, I have set preferences for 7 days, and, it remembers my name, and for me more importantly, my address, so it takes only half as long to post a message as it used to. Well, I have a long address.
Anyway, give it a try, I think you'll like it better, too.
My computer is set to accept cookies anyway, because I hate the extra load time at other sites if I don't. I don't see this as a big deal, you can always go in and clean out what you don't want.
