Recently, Safari has not been keeping me logged into certain message boards, and eBay. Also, I cannot buy things online, because as soon as I get partly through the ordering process, I am returned to my shopping cart. I have tried resetting safari, emptying the cache, removing plugins, and nothing works.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Pithhelmet is a great haxie, but there are a few sites when you have to tweak the settings, especially on some of the latest versions of it.

Be sure to check the cookie management as well. I leave it on accept all cookies to pages surfed to, then I use Cookie Muncher once in a great while to manually clean all the garbage out.

Thanks guys! I temporarily removed PithHelmet before and that didn't work, for some reason...but I just went into the PithHelmet rule editor, and it was discarding all PHP BB (what I rightly thought was the common thread between the troublesome sites) cookies when Safari quit.
