Help! I am just sick. Apparently I didn't do enough testing... One of the lines in my bottom banner that I am just planning to install looks like this... ** Archives and settings: http://listserv.temple.edu/archives/stutt-l.html I click on that link and sure enough the archive page comes up. I click on "Search the archives" and the archive input page comes up. (So far, so good.) Then I enter some search criteria in that page and press enter - and it immediately asks me for a PASSWORD! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! I never saw this problem before because I am the owner of the list and - of course - I have a cookie in my computer which has all my stuff in it. But I noticed this problem during a final test with a regular subscriber and the LAST thing I want to do is confuse my subscribers by asking them for a password. If they are a subscriber to the list, they ought to be able to access the archives without a password. Why does Listserv let them go through two screens before determining they are a subscriber? Is there anything I can do about this without endangering the security of the list? I realize the necessity of asking for their email address because that will let Listserv know whether or not they are a subscriber or not. But a password? Isn't that a real overkill? I can just imagine a flood of requests asking about the necessity of a password and the procedures for handling it. I would certainly appreciate any help or insight into this situation.
