I'll take the blame for your picture being back.  I reloaded the picture from the one you had sitting in your profile this previous Monday (Oct 2).

For a while I thought I was seeing things. Thanks.  Gerry

Gerry,  From your end, you could have just deleted the picture that wasn't working and reloaded it.  For some reason, some of the forum members pictures would not redisplay and the pictures just had to be reloaded.  In your case, you had a picture already sitting in your profile that I was able to re-upload.

The 'cookie' problem is being worked on but isn't a high priority.  Unfortunately, that part is beyond my capability as it has to do with getting into the sites' code which I can't get to.  I'm in the same boat as yourself in regards to having to log in each visit.  All I can say is be patient.
