Re: 5.12 - I know you hate to hear this...

Hi Rus.

Cookie and profile datafile are not in any way related. Cookies are always sent on each request to the scripts (as long as the scripts are configured to use cookies). This doesn't depend on anything "profile". This at least is (and was) the fact for unmodified scripts.

However, handling of cookies does depend on how the domain is spelt. E.g.: cookies sent by www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com are considered different cookies.

Regarding your special requirement of limiting the number of posts per day.

Such things can be accomplished by custom plugins these days. Plugin would be future proof because it would not require modification to the core scripts and thus could be reused for future versions. ....

Or maybe such a feature could become part of official release as a sponsored feature.

Feel free to drop me a note via Contact page if you're interested in either of these suggestion.

BTW:
I'm not at all against custom solutions. We've implemented tons of custom solutions. Only I'm against modifications to core scripts. With modifications one is always stuck sooner or later. Other ways of customisation are more future proof, esp. because we have various ways to hook in custom code one way or the other.
