(that's the lounge! warning: thar be draegons there!)

Fred, is your bookmark set to adobeforums.com or www.adobeforums.com?

Fred, if you are using a bookmark from before the change, once you are in, you might want to make a new one and delete the old. Not sure whether there might be something in the bookmark that keeps tripping it, but it's something to eliminate as a possibility.

I support Steve's comments. Let the extra flair, avatars and such, but a user preference and let us keep this display format like this one if desired. I would keep it. Every forum that I have seen referenced as better, I have found annoying due to the wasted space. Make the waste a user option.

I don't visit here frequently enough to get passionately involved in the debate, but would just say that the simplicity, speed and compact presentation of this forum has encouraged use. The last makeover was awful, but thankfully abandoned. The forums in the User Group, which is somewhat flashier, also works pretty well, but I don't know why we need two or more places to share the same exchanges, and that one seems to get a little more input from 'professionals', Adobe or otherwise.
My appeal to forum designers I guess is not to add so many bells, whistles, options and alternatives that it becomes tedious to use the basic functionality. (Almost the same comment might apply to Acrobat itself)

Well I've set things in Firefox, and it's http (not https), but still I'm not automatically logged in when I hit the bookmark as used to happen. The only thing that changed to cause this was that I linked as requested. Same browser, bookmark, computer and idiot at the keyboard.

And yet some are complaining about their being too short lived.

Not a change I would welcome.

Nor would anyone else, I'd imagine.

I hope I understood correctly that the session based cookies will be short lived...
