I haven't ever had much problem storing data in cookies. But, my preferred method would have been to store the data in a table specifically for that purpose; so, yes, there would be a couple extra KB being sent to the server every so often. I really don't see that as a problem.

As for javascript. Have you ever browsed a forum on a browser that doesn't support javascript (lynx)? It is nigh impossible. So my reasoning is, if the user doesn't have javascript, or they have it turned off, who cares? They wouldn't even notice. The form would work just like normal.

There are some other things that vBulletin have added recently, along these same lines, that are nice. Things such as in-place editing of posted messages. Sounds useless, but it is really quite nice. These type of things are going to keep driving people in the direction of that package instead of this one.
