Today, I complained to SourcForge, that it is inconvenient to have to log-in for every bug-report, and I have just received the following response from Daniel Hinojosa: Ya, I agree. There was an issue back in the fall that caused us to turn this off for now. Reference the Site Status (https://sourceforge.net/docs/A04/) page for details. On this issue, that is here: (2007-12-05 14:27:43 - SourceForge.net Web Site) On 2007-12-05 starting at 9:44 AM Pacific until 12:55 PM Pacific there was an issue with user misattribution that could impact users who post to forums, trackers, etc. could be attributed to. This did not allow for permissions escalation or anything other than making posts as another user to the site features, project services (such as shell, CVS, SVN, etc.) are not affected. This issue was related to a defect in the remember me feature, which we have now disabled. We are working on fixing item attribution, but welcome any Support Requests reporting item misattribution.
