Some additional information for the tech support folks:
I work in an IT company, and I understand that this board is a free service. It is greatly appreciated, as is the magnitude of the work you are doing. I provide this information in case it sheds additional light on the issues some of us are seeing.
My browser of choice is Firefox 12.0. I do not wish to remove all of my cookies, I have my personal computer set up exactly the way I like to use it. I did go in and remove any cookies that referred to disboards. I also shut down and restart the machine daily.
It almost seems that Disboards has a timer on my login now. I can come and go from the page (as long as the window remains open) for some time, (an hour?), but eventually either when refreshing the page or closing the browser and re-opening it, I must log in again. This did not used to happen before the server switch. I have removed that cookie. Is there another one or more without the Disboards names? Tracking me perhaps?? Do these cookies have randomly generated names so they are not identifiable when looking at them??
Thanks for the insight, and for the long hours and the hard work. I know how hard IT folks work. I'm not whining to make your life difficult, I promise. Something significant in the way I use the boards has changed, and I haven't been able to restore it. Thanks for working on it when you get the chance.
