I get message below when I tried to read any article in the NYTimes today. Never had a problem in any browser or OS before or even now with Konqueror yesterday or with windoz laptop when i went to it today to read the Times. I did tell Konqueror not to accept cookies as i was inundated with them. I am a 'subscriber' to the NYTimes site so shouldn't need cookies to read each article.

Weird. I just logged into the NYTimes site and the article displayed fine. I'm using Konq in 3.0.1 if that matters. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--

I have the same policy; if I *have* to accept cookies, I move to another site. Unfortunately, that's true with many sites, but not in this case. I logged in without any problem. For personal reasons, I prefer to use Mozilla instead of Konqueror, but I don't think it would make a difference. -- Regards, gr, in /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida's Suncoast.

This is your first problem -- you've got the logic backwards. The whole point of cookies is to make the web site remember who you are, so that you don't need to log in in order to read each article. Without them, the NYTimes site has no way of remembering that you're a subscriber. -tara
