Bill, you have a security leak. THAT LEAK is endangering your agendae, your database, your subscribers, ALL OF IT! How can I be more plain? These 2 alert posts ARE public so that they cannot be easily deleted, tampered with, or intercepted. Please go back and re-read my prior post to you, thoughtfully and slowly. It is heavy reading, and should be done with deliberation and an eye to improving your outreach, not defending your new appearance and pop up sub menus. COOKIES ARE TRACKING DEVICES, PURE AND SIMPLE. AND THEY ARE PUT ON YOUR SUBSCRIBERS' computers. Hackers may use your cookie implanting/gathering "permission" and resulting information without your knowledge or approval, thus putting US at risk! I'm glad folks are liking your improvements. I'm just wondering howmany realize the increased risk because you decided to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place in the name of improvements? Subscribers, paid or comp'd cannot access what they formerly did, no matter how time consuming said prior access procedures were. NOW THEY CANNOT! And you want to call this "improvement?" Please, Bill. I know you are under pressure and have a lot on your mind. BUT SECURITY AND PRIVACY should be right up there with your goals of success. O/49r
