Description:
On a new local install of 1.4 from HEAD, using Apache & PHP 5.0.0 & Firefox
1.0, I logged-in left a message for my IP address. Logged out, and got banner
"you have new messages". Viewed messages, but banner still appeared on all
subsequent pages. Checked the user_newtalk table and it still had a row for the
IP address. On a local install, doing the opposite (anon leaves msg for user,
user views) worked ok. Using IE for the first case worked ok.
On test.wikipedia.org it gets more confusing. Every time I go to the anon's
talk page as anon using Firefox, I get automatically logged back in as the user,
regardless of the user's preference setting for "remember password across sessions".
Forcing a refresh does not help.
A separate inconsistency is the display of the IP address at the top for anon -
occurs in Firefox for a local install but not for IE, and not for
test.wikipedia.org at all.
Can someone else report their results?
