Fixed, thanks.

As far as the login: it's still setting a cookie path of /newwiki. (It appears to always set the current directory unless you specify otherwise to setcookie(); a simple fix.)

Fixed. Can I ask what you're using to test cookies? I'm telnetting to port 80 and doing things manually which is a pain.

Oh, I'm a lazy one. I just try logging in with Netscape or Mozilla and look at the resulting cookies file. Good enough for my purposes...

A couple other notes on the login screen:

• I don't really like the way the "login" is up top and "create

new account" down bottom. (I'm the one who made it do that, so blame me... I split them up because it was difficult to figure out how to make them work when they were merged together...

I didn't much like it either, I just quickly copied the old one. It's better now, I think. Perhaps some text could be added as well.

Ahh, I like the new one! Compact, yet clear in function.

A couple further thoughts: I suspect we might want to explicitly mark the e-mail field for new accounts as "optional" to appease the paranoids out there.

It looks kind of like "Remember my password across sessions" is grouped in with the 'create new account' function, but as far as I know it applies both for new accounts and later logins. Should it be separated by a blank line? Eh.

...

• I'd love it if, after logging in, I got sent back to where I

came from!

Great idea! Done.

Woohoo! Thanks.
