Safari, please to stop being horrible now.

I keep getting logged out of Dreamwidth; I logged out to check my OpenID account's messages, logged back in, and it's been happening ever since. SO ANNOYING.

I can only assume it's Safari rather than Dreamwidth, so I'll have to see if it's cookies or something. (Mmm, cookies.) Seriously, this is ridiculously annoying. Alternatively, is anyone else having troubles with it? Is it just a Safari thing?

...

In other news, this post has some handy details about features available specifically to paid accounts. musesfool, you might be interested to note that it looks like 'friendsfriends' will be a paid-only feature, as it's a computationally-expensive function.

...

Also, this FAQ answer is very useful for LJ-code equivalents.

<lj user=username> = <user name="username"> or <user name="username" site="site.tld">
<lj-cut> = <cut>
<lj-cut text="foo"> = <cut text="foo">
<lj-raw> = <raw-code>
<lj-poll> = <poll>
<lj-pi> = <poll-item>
<lj-pq> = <poll-question>

However, LiveJournal markup will also work on Dreamwidth for backwards compatibility.

So you could link to me via <user name="eleanorjane"> or you could link to my LJ with <user name="ladyjestyr" site="livejournal.com"> -- I think.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's restricted to paid accounts on LJ, too, or it was when they first rolled it out, anyway. Since I plan to have a paid account here for at least the first year, I am okay with that.

Safari login refail

I'm having the same (or a very similar) problem with Safari (3.2.1 on MacOS X) requiring repeated logins for Dreamwidth.

The only thing really odd looking in my cookies is that one is set for website ".www.dreamwidth.org," where that leading dot might cause a problem, I guess?

Do you have any further thoughts on this issue beyond what you wrote in this post?

I wound up using the Safari menu command "Reset Safari..." to reset everything - that did the trick.
