From all I can tell,

cookname=cookval; path=/; domain=.freerepublic.com

should work based on my research... You are saying that IE4 and NS4 dont deal well with that?

Thanks for checking this out for me.

I may be wrong in saying NS4/MSIE4, I'll have to dig up my notes. *Somebody* certainly has a problem with the double dots, however. When I last used that several years ago, I received a rash of reports, people unable to log in. I was able to reproduce the problem, it was definately a brain-damaged browser issue. MAYBE it was Opera. (MAYBE it doesn't matter anymore?)

Okay, I'm setting .freerepublic.com on all expired cookies. We'll see how many people can't log off now. :-)

Still, people are coming back with the same cookies even after they've supposedly been "expired" with the double-dot .freerepublic.com
