Receipe box problem.

[Peg Wilson]

Help, I can't keep my recipes in my recipe box! Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Once I get off the net, and then get back on the next day, they are gone. My recipe box reads empty.

The most likely reason is that you have your cookies off or set to expire on a daily basis. A "cookie" (not the delicious kind unfortunately) is created when you first send a recipe to your recipe box. It's actually a little piece of code that gets stored on your hard drive. And everytime you go back to the recipe box, your browser looks for that cookie code and then it's able to show you your past recipe selections. However, if your cookies are not enabled in your browser, then of course this function will not operate properly.

If you are using IE on a PC, go to Tools then to Internet Options, then click on the Security tab. if your security level is set to High or Medium, your cookies may not work.

If you are using Netscape on a Mac or PC, go to Edit then to Preferences, then click on the Advanced category. There is a button that should be "on" that says "Accept all cookies".

If you are using IE on a Mac, go to Edit then to Preferences, then to Security Zones. Again, if it is set at Medium or High, you may have some problems.

If this is not the problem, please let me know on the Tech Support Board and I'll again, see what I can do for you.

Thanks.
