Starting in early June 2010, we have been getting a few reports from bloggers about disabled cookies
The ongoing problem with blocked third party cookies is not unknown, and is most likely the basis for this symptom. The question right now is what has caused the blocked cookies.
One possible cause for the problem is changes to computers running in Microsoft Windows, since Tuesday of last week was Microsoft Patch Tuesday. It's possible that other companies are releasing significant updates on or before Patch Tuesday.
If you are seeing any of these symptoms, please help us to help you. Post diagnostic details, here or in the Rollup discussion.
