I still find it curious though that actually logging in and manually voting and posting replies doesn't get counted as "being here" if you log in with a cookie.

As I told ysth in a private chat I've been using the same cookie for a couple of years and this is only the second time that I can recall not having my votes left count not update.

I also find it interesting that invoking the Ketterbox chat client caused my last time here to start updating. Curious.
