Intermittent crunching of the cookies

I'm finding that cookies set by PFO are sometimes cleared, so my login session details get lost.

The strange thing is that it is intermittent. On one hand I can go a couple of days with my session details being preserved (if I don't log out). On the other hand, it is rather irritating attempting to create a post and having to login three or four times in the process.

Re: Intermittent crunching of the cookies

Grumpy, I have not seen this problem. In the early days, after the shift, cookies (or DB flags or whatever) that were supposed to keep track of viewed threads failed a substantial part of the time (I suspect this is why many old threads have been bumped).

I've never had a login problem. Do you suppose that this is some sort of browser behavior exhibited when some sort of PFO behavior is borderline? Man, I hate to debug interactive problems between supposedly decoupled systems. I'm going to leave this entirely up to cscgal and bigk.

Anyone else seeing this phenomenon?

Re: Intermittent crunching of the cookies

I noticed it soon after the switch a few times, but haven't had any problems of late.

Re: Intermittent crunching of the cookies

Is this becoming more noticeable in the last few weeks or has it become less?

Re: Intermittent crunching of the cookies

Judging from the last couple of responses, or what?

Re: Intermittent crunching of the cookies

Judging by if you have seen it more often or not? We did make some setting changes on the system which would have either made the problem worse, or go away entirely. I'm trying to figure out which.
