Hi everyone. I hope you are happy with your ROLs and good luck for anyone going for postmatch.
Just thought I'd mention something you may appreciate:
Surfing these pages with a newer computer and firewall, I notice that usmleforum.com sends a fair few cookies and other files to your computer.

Can you specify the name of those cookies so that we can search in our PC and get rid of it ?
Thanks

To System Admin,
Many thanks for replying to my posting!
The cookies that appeared after visiting this forum (and did not self-delete) were provided by 'doubleclick' or 'fastclick'.
I can elaborate if you wish.
One isolated event activated the firewall, but I don't remember the name of the entity.
