I not only allow session cookies in Firefox, IE, and the AOL browser but I allow other cookies as well including 3rd party cookies. Then I clean them out from time to time--and in this case that is what got me into trouble with the board settings.

I would disagree about the old vs. new search--I have NO trouble maintaining that setting and never have. The problem is with the cookie that maintain user defaults for the message boards on both the Ancestry and RootsWeb side.
