Is there any hope of more permanent cookies being implemented soon?

If not, I can stop coming back to check (or maybe even at all, although I'd hate for that to happen). I've set my preferences, but am not getting to see them without explicitly logging in each time (and yes, some people do quit their browser when they can make better use of the resources it occupies, so this is an issue). I find the default layout and colours to be so distracting that I'm now having a hard time actually reading anything when I visit. This is not good.

I also really think the black outlines should be off by default. Or at the very least there should be some padding around than text block they contain.

PS: I know I'm repeating myself (call me a whiner), but that's because at I care about lwn!

The cookie problem should be fixed at this point - I just needed to make a tweak to the Quixote cookie setting code. And the boxes are off by default now...:)

Thanks!

Also for the "plain text" option, by the way.

Actually, I spoke too soon. With Mozilla the cookie stuff now works, but with NS4 it still doesn't.
