Hello. I have tried to join a web forum called AfterDawn. It's URL is
http://forums.afterdawn.com/

When I try to post a new thread or reply to a post, I get this error
message:
--------------------------------------------
Problem with cookies
Your login attempt to login to AfterDawn.com has failed because we are
unable to properly set the needed cookie in your browser. The cookie was
set, but the value of it was not upated properly.

You cannot login to AfterDawn.com (or any other site on the internet for

Have tried multiple times. And have deleted my cookies but no joy. Also
have specifically put their site in the box on
Tools\Options\Privacy\Sites\Allow but also no joy. I have sent in a bug
report available on their site, but getting no response other than the form
letter. This is the only one of many web sites that I access each day, and
this problem only on AfterDawn.com. Just trying here to see if anyone can
give me a clue. Thanks.

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.

I have the same problem, it just started, on a website I go to all the time,
i get the message that my browser doesn't accept cookies, went through all
the same steps you described still no luck, anyone know what is going on? all
my other websites work and I agree, if you get cookies from all the others
why not some?

If it is not the AfterDawn.com website, it is not the same problem.
(Look at the Subject of this discussion.)

My guess is that the site is giving you a misleading message.
E.g. you could get the same message if your browser was not sending
a Cookie for that site or sending an obsolete Cookie for that site.
Either could occur if you were using a stored Favorite to an internal
page at that site, in which case you should delete the Cookie and visit
the site's Home page manually. Etc.

Mr. Aldwinckle -- Thanks for the suggestion about deleting the cookie(s) and
visiting the site home page manually, etc...however, I got the same 'problem
with cookies' message.
