RE: Problems With the Volcano Site
Yes, you must allow cookies to access the site, the only thing that it does is store your login information from page to page so that you remain logged in (or something like that). Don't worry, I am not stealing your bank account info or or anything like that. ;)

Additional:

I think there are three cookies kept on the site actually. The first is to keep you login name and password so that you don't have to login each time you visit or, most importantly, every time you change to another page. The second is for the Paypal link because the site must maintain a cookie to be able to know that when you are clicking the link you are indeed donating to paypal and not some shady hacker stealing your credit card info. The third is the Blue Host ad at the bottom which is where the site is hosted. The cookie for that just keeps track that when someone checks out Blue Host it tells them that the visitor came from vmods website. I think that if someone visits Blue Host and if they ever sign up then they may apply a credit on the website hosting fee. It is worth a shot since it costs money to keep the website on the net and to keep the domain name registered. Not all cookies are bad, but it seems that in recent years they have become a sort of taboo. The paranoia towards cookies is quite astounding these days.

If you are using Fire Fox then the best thing to do is go the vmods homepage and then click on Tools > Options > then go the privacy tab and in the cookies section select "Exceptions". Then in the next window type in www.volcanomods.com and click on "Allow". You shouldn't have a problem after you to that. But if you are a paranoid with cookies then I am afraid that I cannot help you. There really isn't anything "funny" about the website design I don't think, it is just that it is uses the latest CSS technology and I am using a few cookies to try to pay the bills that no one seems to care about.

Anyway, I hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore problems.
