New poster here is puzzled

Liquidambar

I have been looking around here for a few days now, and registered a day or so ago.

It seems awkward that whenever I want to look at a picture attached to a post I get the log-in/registration screen and have to click on it before I can go on. That gets VERY awkward when there are several pictures added at the bottom of a message. I click on the link, get the log-in screen, click on that, get the picture I want, then use the BACK arrow (or the history button beside it [Firefox]), click on the next link and go through the entire routine again.

I got it again here when I wanted to write this message. And in your archives of photos.

Did I miss something, or does this happen to every newcomer to the forum until he "checks out?"

Yes, sounds like a cookie issue.

If you are set to accept cookies, but still have this problem check the date and time on your computer. Cookies expire based on your system time, so if your computer thinks, for example, its sept 24 1997 instead of 2007 the cookie will expire the instant after it sets.

Just one more thing to check. Good luck!
