LJ query

[venta]

If I'm logged into LJ, and I open a new browser window, I appear to be logged in in the new window, too. And if I log out from there, it logs me out in both windows.

This didn't used to happen. And I'd like it not to. Have I inadvertently checked some option somewhere which I now can't find, or has something else changed ?

(I'm using IE/Windows 2K)

Opening a new browser window should be the same as opening a new page in the same window - the server you're getting the stuff from can't tell the difference. Has your puter been infested with pixies?

Slightly more helpfully, the 'don't leave me logged in forever' option will have some sort of time setting to help it tell the difference between 'sessions', and if you're prone to leaving the same page open without refreshing it - perhaps reading your friends page in bits and pieces over the course of several hours - it could appear that the page you've had open for ages is still logged in, and the new one you've just opened isn't. It would actually mean you're not logged in, as you'd see if you refreshed the original page.

Or, y'know, pixies. I reckon they're responsible for many computer oddities.

Hmm. I was going to use my 'I do believe in fairies' icon, cos of the pixies comments, but I think this one is more appropriate, as well as allowing me to say: GIC!

Nope, I'm definitely genuinely logged in on this window, and genuinely not on the other. Pixies it is, then.

GIC!

Sounds like you've been drinking, there ;)

I don't believe I've seen a GIC before.

Pixies! Must be!

I don't believe I've seen a GIC before.
leathellin coined it, I think.

(Did I just completely fail to post a comment to you there ? I posted it, but it doesn't seem to have showed. Waaaaah! Pixies!)

[venta.livejournal.com]

Nope, the missing comment has arrived now. Even though numerous Ctrl-F5ings didn't make it show earlier.

[triskellian]

Yeah, I get that quite a lot, too. My friends page will show 'x comments', but if I go to the entry, no comments show up for ages! Pixies again!

That would appear to be a rambling icon...

So when do we start seeeing metame posting GIC's?

Indeed. And it's all your fault ;-)

So when do we start seeeing metame posting GIC's?
Soon, soon... Can't rush these things ;-)
