> There's already a bug in Fossil linked to IP changing for the same user That's [fixed now][1]. That and [the more limited prior fix][2] are why you had to log back in. These changes remove the IP from the cookie entirely, thus invalidating the one your browser held previously. The newer fix addresses the fact that the earlier one left cases where IP switching could still automatically log a user out, thus creating bogus anonymous postings, which is part of what sparked this whole thread. The original fix worked fine for the forums on `fossil-scm.org` or `sqlite.org` due to the way they're configured. The new change just extends that fix to all Fossil forum configurations, including a few I run. Bottom line, we can now sweep the issue of inadvertent anonymity from this thread.
