Re: [Codestriker-user] New User of CodeStriker - Problems with sender email addressing

[David S. <si...@us...>]

Hi Lee,

You are right.  I hate to say it, but this is a bug in the 1.9.0 release.  
We never saw this as we had always used browsers which had the Codestriker 
cookie set.  This was introduced into 1.9.0 as a result of comments being 
posted via XmlHttpRequest, and the async response of course no longer 
updates the browser's cookie.

I'll try and look into this soon, and get this fixed for the 1.9.1 release.  
Many thanks for your report.

Cheers,
David
