Repeated "Session timed out" Messages on Marriott.com, can't view stored Pages

This bug has really bugged me since it was introduced in last major Marriott.com site upgrade. To wit, when one follows links to Publically available marriott webpages or to one's old webpages stored on your hard drive, you'll often be given a "session timed out" message and be forced to log in again, at which point Marriott.com takes you to the main page of the website instead of the page you were trying to access. This happens even if it is a publically available webpage or a page stored on one's hard or flash drive rather than on the web. Then you have to start all over again to link to the page you want.

But worse yet, in some cases the coding written into pages you have saved is hardwired to NEVER let you see again the content of the page you have stored on your hard drive. This is the case with my stored acccount summary pages (as *.mht files). I've tried 20 times to go back and see the information that I stored back in January on my account and each of the 20 times I've gotten the "session timed out " message, I've logged in again, then clicked on the link to the stored page, get the "session timed out" message, and on and on and on.

By the way, I am also still upset that Marriott removed the ability to choose the search radius I want for hotels. 90% of the time I want something less or more than a 50 mile radius. So with this website change I'm now forced to take extra time to try to hone in on what I really want to find.
