I have exactly the same problem with French/Japanese wikis. I'm disconnected and I my password cookie is lost.
I have never, ever been able to reproduce this problem. Not with Mozilla 1.x, not with IE 5.5, not with Konqueror 2.2.
If you guys want help solving this, I want to see exact step by step instructions on reproducing it, from creation of a user account on.
Do all wikis share the same cookie ?
No, each subdomain stores its separate cookies: PHPSESSID - Session ID wcUserID - the internal id number of your user account wcUserName - your user name wcUserPassword - a hash of your password. Only stored if you click the "store password across sessions" checkbox when logging in.
All expire one month after they are set (ie, at logon) except the session ID, which is set to expire at the end of your browser session.
