  I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a new release that Firefox will have on June 25th.  The biggest change that will be coming is the fact that Firefox will be turning on 3rd party cookie blocking by default.  This means access to WGT will be blocked unless you go in manually and allow us access.  This new version of Firefox should be out sometime later this month so we wanted to give players plenty of warning in advance.  Below you will find links to give you some more information.

  Thanks for the heads up. You can bet though, that on june 25th there will all kinds of screaming and ranting in here. When it starts, just copy and paste this post with the 3 week advance notice.

  Forgive my ignorance but how is NOT allowing 3rd party cookies going to affect access to wgt? Logging on to the domain www.wgt.com sets a first party cookie. Seems to me, as long as you don't prevent the wgt cookie, access shouldn't be affected.
  
  Unless wgt is somehow going to force you into accepting 3rd party cookies to access their site, the only people going to be affected by not accepting 3rd party cookies are your advertisers.
  
  And if that's the case, shouldn't this post be stickied in huge bold letters?
