I have noticed a vexing issue wherein my bookmarked sites in the ingame browser are not being saved from one session to another. The same thing is true for my overview settings and drone groupings. Once I close the client and return the next time to play, all the bookmarks, overview settings and drone groupings are gone.

Anyone know why this is happening?

What's OS system are you running? And if it's win7 have you tried to run the game client with administrator rights?!

Yes, sorry, I should have stated my OS, which is indeed Win7. I did run the shortcut with Admin rights but it still does not save the data.

sounds like an ownership issue, you need to take ownership with as admin of the folder where all those settings get saved

unfortunately i cant remember which one it is lol

Yes, I searched and searched through everything and cannot find what that directory was. I found where it used to be but it was all old settings from the last time I played EVE two years ago. I have no idea where that directory is installed today and evidently neither does Windows.
