I'm logged in as myself. When I go to view someone's home node (ie. vroom), then click on the link that's the number of writeups, I'm no longer logged in as myself on the resultant pages; but I'm not actually logged out, it just doesn't show me as being logged in.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

    It should be fixed now. The number of writeups link previously pointed to perlmonks.org/.... now it points to $ENV{HTTP_HOST}/.... So basically the problem was that the host would change and the cookie would no longer be valid when you went to that page.

    I usually figure that vroom's testing a new feature when that happens. Either that, or someone checked in one of my buggy changes to the Everything core. :|

    Can't reproduce that one, sorry. I clicked on vroom, then clicked on the writeups link, and seemed to be still logged in as me.

      Ah, weird then. So on the resultant page (Perl Monks User Search, basically) you don't see "login | Create a new user"?
