RE: Content Advisor

[Susan Murray-Smith <S.Murray-Smith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
This would explain why some people couldn't login, but if they
are able to login, why do they get thrown out when they choose
a link from their list of loans?

We have a client using NN4.8 on a Mac OS9.2 who doesn't
have the Content Advisor problem, but gets thrown out and is
unable to revalidate when they click on a title from the list of
books they have on loan.

regards
Susan Murray-Smith
