IE6 can be a royal pain - cookie issues

	A few days ago I let Microsoft do it's usual auto-updating to fix their usual security issues etc with IE6. Since then the only problem I was having was that I couldn't log into this site and stay logged on. Then last night it got to where I couldn't log on at all. This morning I tried all the forums I'm registered at, and what I've had to do is add this site to the list that overrides my current cookie settings. I guess MS changed some cookie options and for some reason IE doesn't like Gallery cookies anymore... ...did someone remove the chocolate chips maybe? :wink: Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else who uses IE6 is having issues with logging into forums.

	This is not a good thing (tm). Gallery uses PHP sessions, so if the underlying PHP session cookies don't work with IE6, they won't work in any other PHP application that uses PHP sessions :sad: Hopefully it's not that severe..

	It's possible that the update reset cookies permissions to a higher different security level. IE6 has seperate security permissions for cookies then previous versions do. You might want to check that.
