See this EMD FAQ page:
https://www.emaildiscussions.com/faq...vb_use_cookies
Read the "Does this forum use cookies?" and "How do I clear my cookies?" sections. Here is how I think this works in more detail:
- If you decide to not check "Remember Me" and so not use cookies, a session ID is sent when your browser communicates with the EMD website.
- There is a session timeout when you choose to do things in this manner without cookies. If you move around the EMD Forums every once in a while you should be able to avoid the session timeouts. I believe that the default vBulletin timeout is probably 15 minutes, but Edwin may have set it differently.
