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)

Well, with all due respect those knowledgeable people are wrong.

Session length cookies are stored on a per process basis usually which means that different processes won't have access to them. If you're on heffajunk you may have seen tommy's question where lots of people assured him that what he wanted couldn't be done. These were all actually people *guessing* what the behaviour would be without actually investigating it. I suspect the same has happened here and peopel are saying what they expect to be the case rather than what they know to be the case.

Umm... That was probably rantier than it needed to be. I'm feelign ranty today though. Grr.. arghh..
