Re: Once again ... is it time to get rid of the Anonymous Monk?

Furthermore, if for any reason your session “simply disappears,” your posting will appear as anonymous. You are no longer logged-in, but you might not even know it.

I've been posting here for years, and never had this happen. I replied to you the last time I saw you mention this, but you didn't respond. Is Anonymous Monk correct in their suggestion to what you perceive to be a perlmonks problem?

I guess that occurs when you follow some misformatted link, e.g. http://perlmonks.com/?node_id=1024047 when logged in thru perlmonks.org, instead of Re: Once again ... is it time to get rid of the Anonymous Monk? (or probably http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1024047 when logged in thru perlmonks.com

Possibly not relevant if you checked "remember me" on all relevant domains

Update: and not "while posting", but rather "posting and later notice that I wasn't signed in since several pages". From user's perspective there's no difference :-)

Update 2: I want a "preview"-button when updating a post...

Thanks for the reply. This theory was raisd by someone else in the previous thread (which I link to). If this is the case, and there's no confirmation this is what they're complaining about, it's not an issue with this site, it's an issue with a link. The session hasn't "disappeared". I run into this, but it's obvious that I'm no longer logged in. The URL is different (another clue). For some time now I've used the perlmonks blue theme, making the site impossible to confuse with the normal theme. Failing that there's always the large text warning users who aren't logged in. If find it hard to believe that this is their actual complaint, given their claimed expertise/CV/Resume.
