you have to exit the WriteLog() if a Guest don't have accept the ECL .. if don't do that, a lot of errors occurs because it's no session created at this time ...

whilst Live627 (I think) tests if the session to be started is for a guest.
Close. Although that is correct from a user's viewpoint, the code checks to see if the login cookie has been sent.

Yes, that's right. Actually, more than that function assume the session is loaded. I'm still fixing loose ends, even though  it is now six days since I did the cookie change.

WAP/WAP2/IMode is not handled I think .. and you can login/register without accept the ecl. That's not correct I think ...

FYI the latest .Net issue has a couple pages on the cookie law. They mention the solution adopted by BT, too (implied consent.)

The bare minimum is covered, no? That a user (and spider) can access the site without having to deal with cookies.

Well .. you can make a work on the minimum or you can make a work 100% ..
I prefer the last :)

What are you doing here anyway, feline? I thought you had no interest in Wedge "if you weren't given half of the rights over it"... :^^;:

As you would say, "To browser these website, it's necessary to give us cookies and explain yourself." :lol:

Hey, I thought it was nice to see feline... I mean, she and I *actually agreed* on something the other day! It's also nice to have discussions with people who are aware of all the consequences of changing some of the things I've speculated about, because in my case they were only speculative rather than attempted...


In Wedge's specific case, there is no WAP/WAP2/imode to deal with, so we only need to worry about the one codepath for users.
  When we unite against a common enemy that attacks our ethos, it nurtures group solidarity. Trolls are sensational, yes, but we keep everyone honest.

I just think that considering how she regarded me (if not both of us) back when we started work on Wedge, even though I was inviting her to share her feelings about our fixes to *her* specific problems with SMF, the least I deserve from feline is an apology...

Just for a bit of perspective - http://www.lloydstsb.com/cookie_policy.asp

They've sent you six cookies across two domains before you get to read this, a clear violation of the regulations (feel free to complain to the ICO if you're in the EU), but otherwise their information is really good: you have a browser, you control your browser, this is how to delete cookies in your browser.

For what I want to apologize to you, Nao?
That I have a clear idea of what I will do what?
I've never personally attacked you and I respect what you do.
And that, I think, I can also expect from you ...

@feline, what Nao is getting at is back when Wedge was still very young and fragile, we were interested in having you on board but you basically told us that you weren't interested in being involved unless we turned over half the rights to you.

@PantsMan, nice to know how messed up the banks are about this.
