Starting with IE6, Microsoft changed the browser’s security policy so that web browser cookies (which are used by CourseForum and ProjectForum to store login information) will not be accepted when coming from a website that is different from the site hosting the toplevel frameset. These are known as ‘third party cookies’. While this behavior can be circumvented by having everyone using your site change their browser’s security level to ‘Low’ from the default ‘Medium’, there is no other practical solution.
