Cookie Security?

Don't know if this is a security feature of Vista or not.

There is an online forum I regularly visit. On my XP/Win 200 machines,
once I logged in with my user name/password, each time I went to the
forum I was "logged on"

On my Vista machine, I have to enter user ID and pw each time even
though the "remember me" box is checked.

FWIW - I had already gone into IE properties and set the
security/"allow cookies" slider one step "looser" than the default.

Isthere any way I can get it to behave like it did in XP?

Go to the website, log-in as normal. Then in IE7 click Tools, Internet
Options, Privacy tab, then the Sites button. Add the website to allow list.

If you still have the issue download CCleaner www.ccleaner.com and under
options/cookies it gives you the ability to "protect" cookies from being
deleted. I like this because I can delete my tracks while still saving the
few cookies I want.

Tried allowing the site, but it didn't work -
Tried it on Firefox and it works fine.
