Have made some modifications in how WWWThreads tracks your read posts for the current session. Previously you received a temporary cookie for each forum that stored your last visit time, and another one for each forum that tracks what posts you have read for that session. This was leading to some problems with people getting logged out because of the 20 cookie per domain limit and some problems with users going through Proxy servers. What we did is combine all cookies that store your last visit time into one cookie, and then moved the tracking of read posts for that session into the database.

So for example, if you had 20 forums, before you were getting a total of 40 cookies, which was bad. Now you get 1. In addition to this we only needed to add 1 SQL call to showthreaded and showflat to accomplish this so speed impact is minimal.

We will eventually combine the username/password/language cookies into 1 as well but didn't do it yet because this would require altering all scripts.

Before this is released it needs to be tested here so we are currently running it to see how it does. You experience a few glitches the first time you come in after the update because of the different way of handling things, but it should work fine after that. If you notice any problems please let me know.
