Session Variable via GET

[Tywick]

one thing that I have always liked about YaBB SE vs other boards is that it does not throw a session variable into the URL. However, I'm notacing PHPSESSID in the URL every once in a while and find it annoying. Why is it annoying? Because sometimes I copy and paste URLs of a post/thread/board what have you for other people to reference. Does the SMF team intend to do away with PHPSESSID via GET before the beta release?

It's only in there because you're having cookie issues. It puts it there if you are having trouble so you will stay logged in.

I never have the thing in the URL, unless I turn my cookies off.  Then it pops in, because my cookies aren't working .

I never see it here - but I'm with you on that it's annoying when sites do it that way

It's the only way to do it if cookies are off... although it is annoying.

Can't help it... if it's not there, you won't be logged in...

And that's fine but my cookies are always working I mean on other sites. If it is working because someone has a cookie issue then that is great.

what about spiders? will they get URLs with sessions or not? or guest doesn't getting sessions only members when they logged on?

i sometimes see it in the address bar too, and i don't have cookie issues.

Odd... yeah, only logged in people get it.
