This is because the_0ne did not use the id:// style of linking but instead used an absolute, http:// style link. That link goes to http://www.perlmonks.org/, and I presume that your cookie is for a different server name. This should be obvious if you look at the URLs that your browser displays in the address bars for the different nodes.

My Cookie Mananger in Mozilla has "perlmonks.org" listed, and none other.

It just changes any of (www.)?perlmonks.(com|net|org) to your current hostname.

javascript:function(){ var sites = /(www.)?perlmonks.(com|net|org)/i; 
+var i,l,t; for(i = 0; l = document.links[i]; i++ ){ if( l.hostname.ma
+tch(sites) ){ l.hostname = document.location.hostname; }}}

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

This could probably be made into a GreaseMonkey user script...

Please /msg the authors of such nodes and ask them to use the id:// linking syntax, and point them at What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? for information.

If the node is by Anonymous Monk, then use the Approval Nodelet to consider it for editing, or mention the problem in the chatterbox.

Thanks
