Topic: Y2K error?? Cookies won't save...

I have Netscape 4.7
I looked on the Forums here January 1st for the first time this year, and the 'diamonds' on the left side (indicating new messages) did not show up at the forum index.

First I thought it was a load error, until I got the same again after I restarted Netscape.
I tried to delete the Flare cookie, and fill in my prefs again. It worked, until I restarted Netscape again later on. The cookie wasn't saved, de prefs were reset to the default values.

I checked the Netscape prefs itself, it still shows that I accept all cookies...

Anyone out that has a suggestion what to do, or what's wrong?? It worked fine last year...

This will be fixed with Flare 2.

Just checked, other sites do save cookies, but I've got the same problem at SciFi-Art.
I think this qualifies as a UBB Y2k bug.

*Didn't see that first reply*

Now I know it's a Y2k bug...

Yes, this is a UBB bug with 5.41a and below. It's fixed completely in 5.42, which is the version the Flare2 will be... I'll be working to get it up ASAP. I'd do a quick javascript fix (which is the source of the problem) now if I had the code with me.

Netscape is dead , NS was beaten to a pulp , It is natrual selection if you can not adapt to your enviroment you will not survive.

Thus the death of NS :-)

Get IE 5!

I haven't any choice in the matter. IE does not work right on my computer. For example, it won't let me bookmark web pages.

I'll have to wait for the fix.

I've had M12 for a while now and agree that Mozilla is very cool... It still needs work but it'll be a big improvment over what's existing.

Growl tried to download Mozilla, but it never got past negotiating the transfer. Is there a different site you can download that from, or a different server?
