Subject: Login doesn't persist when capturing forum

Hi,

I'm attempting to capture the forum at <http://forums.aigamedev.com/> so I can
read it on my laptop when I'm on the metro.  However, the forum is readable by
members only and requires a form-based authentication.  So far I've done the
following:

1. After logging into the site, I copied cookies.txt from my Firefox profile
into the HTTrack project directory.

Result: After running HTTrack, when browsing the capture the first page
indicates that I'm not logged in.

2. Using the catch-url method, I entered my user name and password into the
form for HTTrack to capture.

Result: After running HTTrack, when browsing the capture the first page is the
redirect page indicating that I have successfully logged in.  However, after
being redirected back to the main forum page, it again indicates that I am not
logged in.


In both cases, I am using the default settings with the rule -*logout* added
to the scan settings.  However, I don't see how that could be an issue because
it's not even making it to the first page as logged in.

Does anyone have any advice on other things I can try or an idea of what's
going wrong?
Thank you,

Dean
