Hi Walter

Good question, and although I cannot recall exactly, it is very likely that I was. I tested one of the links again just now, making sure that I was logged out of Dropbox. However, it brought up a log-in page and then took me to my Dropbox home page again. Thinking about it, would it be recognizing my IP address, and therefor taking me to my home page?
