New Software and Cookies

I love how the software DOES NOT cookie everything on your local machine but on the server (?). I check TFL at work and at home. With the old UBB format, it was hard to tell which topics I read and which were new. Now, with vBulletin, it doesn't matter which computer I'm on as long as I'm logged in!

Actually it does both

It places a cookie on your machine with your login information and a time stamp, and alows us to see how many people are logged in. The server records your last visit time, last post and various other information. Most of it is helpful in the backroom when watching server load, some of it helps you. I like the new software too, much more pleasent then UBB was.
