Alex,

I tried on my XP-Home/SP1 and Win2KSP3, but no UNjoy.

Michel mentions something external. Could something be fiddling with your system clock or such???

There still may be variables here, like:
1) How do you log in in the first place... type UID, PWD, then hit Enter...or click on that circle thingy then do typing... or some other way?
2) Does it happen in a specific forum only, or all forums you visit?
3) Does it happen if you rt-click then choose ...in another window?

4) Do you regularly use some other browser too?

< it's probably those LARGE FONTS you use!!! >

hope it gets fixed.

Jim

>>1. Shift-click on a message's link on the messages list (top panel) to open that message in a separate browser window.

>>2. Then close that new window after you're done reading the message.
>>
>>3. Then click (no shift this time) on another message link on the messages list and you could be asked again for your user name and password.

>>Those who can obtain that, if you find the setting in IE which is interferring with that, I would be extremely happy to know about it. This is something that is extremely difficult to simulate. But, for that particular member, it happens all the time.
