PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - vb3 cookie userid not set unless 'remember me'?

Using: vbadvanced cmps, vb3, photopost 48, netscape 7.1

I am not reliably getting the integration between vb3 and photopost.
Sometimes my vb login is recognized by photopost, sometimes not. Paths and domains double-checked, I believe the problem is elsewhere...

Looks like photopost uses the userid cookie ('bb' may be your prefix).

After a little experimenting, it seems this cookie is only set if the user checks "remember me".

Yet vbadvanced cmps and vb3 are able to translate whatever cookies are kicking around into valid logins.

I am beginning to suspect I may need to use the sessionhash to get a record from the session table, check the userid is non-zero, and take that value as the userid.

If this were true, I'd have expected to find discussion of it here?

Anyone recognize this symptom? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Please and thank you.
