| Summary | 0001532: Customise settings get reset within the cookie | ||||
| Description | At least this happens with setting the default ed2k link, I don't even log off but after some time it simply forgets about it. | ||||
| Tags | AJAX, cookie | ||||

This issue is related to the fact that by standard (RFC 2109) browsers are only required to hold the following: * at least 300 cookies * at least 4096 bytes per cookie (as measured by the size of the characters that comprise the cookie non-terminal in the syntax description of the Set-Cookie header) * at least 20 cookies per unique host or domain name The issue was that we (as in, me, epox and everybody else that was using cookies in anidb) weren't aware of this limitation and were kinda saving everything and it's mother in it's own cookie, as such, very probably browsers would scrape extra cookies, and with it js settings, I think i've managed to reduce the issue, but probably it's best if affected users clear their anidb cookies to make it work. I'll commit changes later and see if they improve on this situation, if it indeed solves the issue i'll commit changes to the main site and hopefully resolve the issue |

I think I fixed this, remember that you need to *clear* your anidb.net cookies, otherwise this fix will have no effect. Note: when you clear your cookies your session will also be gone (unless you leave the 6 basic cookies that is) |
