Hey, I contributed something! And, true to y'all's original feelings about me, my contribution will be a worthless/destructive influence on the community! AG 4-EVA

I've just been in chatting with SG, LJ, glatt, funkykule and clodfobble. That's a great place for the button because you can see who's browsing the cellar, at least ....

No way, Flint. Your contributions are always very contributive! :) And my reply shows your subliminal message. Bwahhaahaaaa

I like the chat button, by the way.

Gabbly security question
 

So, I've popped in the chat room a few times since it got added to the main page, and in general I think it's a cool function. But I got to thinking about how it works... when I click the link, it reloads the Cellar in the background, but it logs me out, and if I understand correctly this is because my cookie exists on my machine, not their servers. But if it's pulling all the page information through its own website, and I were to log back in to the Cellar with the Gabbly window open, wouldn't that mean my password was going through their site and not in fact secure at all?

Not that I really think anyone is that desperate to post things under my username, I'm just curious.

Guess: it's because it uses cellar dot org as the page for its chat, and on exit it reloads cellar dot org, while you browse at www dot cellar dot org?
