Alex,

It sounds like it's in your settings and with your cookies? Are you accepting them? If so, what are your settings set to in regards to clearing personal data (i.e. closing browser, manual, or another option).

For some reason it seems that your cookies are being cleared almost immediately making me wonder about their being accepted.

Your internet options should tell you what's going on there. I have mine set to accept cookies and not to expire (unless I manually clean up).

I don't know alot about this stuff, but it sounds as though it's in your settings.
