CAN'T READ "NOTIFICATIONS"

[t_birder]

Hi all,
I have a couple "Notifications" that when I try to read them, I get run in circles with the "log in" stuff.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks for any advice.

Sounds like it might be a COOKIE issue on your internet browser.

One of the most common reasons people encounter problems with the SnoWest forums is because they do not have their Internet Browser "Cookies" enabled.

A cookie is a small piece of text stored on your computer in your Internet browser.
The cookie is used for SnoWest member authentication, session tracking, storing your preferences and your shopping cart contents.

As text, cookies are not executable. Because they are not executed, they cannot replicate themselves and are not viruses. Your anti-spyware products may warn you about some cookies because cookies can be used to track some of your activities, though the SnoWest cookie is quite harmless and passive. Your browser will allow you to decide whether to accept cookies, and the time frame to keep them, but rejecting cookies makes SnoWest unusable.!
