Hello John!

One of the possible things is 4KB limit for cookies that exists in
Internet Explorer. This is not really a bug, I've heard :) that some RFC
specifies some limit for amount of cookies to be sent at once
(otherwise, you'll have a big outgoing traffic consisting tolally of
cookies).

That is, you may have used some other services at afterdawn.com domain
that set up a lot of cookies. When forums.afterdawn.com tries to set up
a cookie, it just gets past 4KB and not being sent.

Try to figure out the amount of cookies sent to afterdawn.com in your
http request headers. If you can't (and you don't care too much), just
delete all cookies for that domain.

Best regards, Alexander Melkov
