Is WC's user managment acting a bit wacky?
Tuesday, September 3, 2002 by Chris | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
For the past few days I've noticed some weird behavior. My library preferences sometimes gets reset to the defaults.
Sometimes I get logged out.
I just posted a response to a thread. The first time it said I couldn't do it and have to have an account (yet the web page clearly showed that I was loggin in). When I tried it a second time it worked.
Is this a server problem? Cookie problem? The fact that I access WC from two computers whose cookies may be confusing WC?

I'm going to take a guess that its a cookie problem. I know Alexandrie has been trying to update some of the cookie code that handles the message board threads and I think that may be the cause of it. Apparently IE has a 21 cookie limit. So as a new cookie gets added for each thread and old one will drop off. It it happens to be your account cookie that means it will log you off.
I know she is in the process of making it database driven but I'm not sure where in the process she is.

So...'IE has a 21 cookie limit'....obviously IE is not an adolescent with his hand in the jar....
