    IE 8 question

    I at one time had IE 8 installed, but uninstalled because of a cookie problem.
    (At least that's what I believed) It wasn't remembering forum usernames and passwords.

    Has that problem been fixed?

    There is an option to "preserve" favorite sites data...You can also add you favorite sites to the trusted list. You can also tweak apps like CCleaner to Not zap your cookies.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    I can't say I remember reading about any similar issues. Every PC I've installed IE8 on has worked as expected. I always encourage everyone to heavily consider moving to IE8. It is safer to use than all other IE versions. If you surf using IE, it should be IE8!

    You were probably using IE8 in InPrivate mode. See left panel here

    Note there are two ways to use InPrivate.

    I've had IE8 (with and without maxthon gui) installed on two PC's with two different OS's and on both of them it refused to remember login info on any site that used cookies to retain the info. Inprivate mode was not running and the intalled programs on each PC were quite drastically different (a/v, firewall, antispy etc)

    I no longer use ie8 ... switched to Firefox.

    The computers I have worked on run IE8 as long as I do a fresh install of windows. When upgrading on systems that have been running for a while I found it tends to slows a system up. That is only my take on this. Tom
