I've been a Boinc Beta participant for several months and latched onto Boinc/SAH when word of it "leaked". When I first joined each of these projects, I added my account ID for each into the web site and checked the box telling it to remember me. All was fine. I could access my account info for either site.

All of a sudden that is no longer the case. If I set my account ID into one, it "forgets" the other. Why? I'm wondering if it "remembers" me using cookies and the cookie from one overwrites the cookie from the other.

EDIT: Looks like there's a cookie for each one and contains the account ID for that project.

I'm running RedHat 9 and using Mozilla's Firefox as my browser.

I would suggest deleting both cookies and logging back in to each site to let it recreate them. I don't think it's the site doing it. I use firefox on Mandrake 10 and am still being automatically logged in on beta and here.

Just tried deleting the cookies and logging back into both. The problem still exists. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Sheesh! Now all of a sudden it seems to work. I can access my account info on both web sites at the same time (different tabs in the browser.)
