It's not so much browsers not supporting cookies but rather various security modes in browsers preventing reading/setting of cookies.

2.6.4 should be MUCH better in this regard because it sends P3P policy that allows IE to accept FUDforum cookies even if the security level is set to high (previously high & medium-high levels caused cookies not to be set). The same P3P policy may help other browsers too, although so far IE has been the only problematic browser in this respect.

When no cookie is available the forum has no way but to use URL sessions, yes that has all of the problems you've described in point 1 & 2, but there is no way to avoid that.

E-mail notification works fine without cookie, the only "problem" is that you will need to login before being able to reply to the message. However, with new FUDforum 2.6.3+ this is easy too cause here is what would happen:

1) You get e-mail notification
2) You go to the URL and view the message
3) You click reply and get a message saying only registered users may reply and be display a login form.
4) Once you login you would be redirected directly to the post form.

So it's not too bad... certainly better then rejecting users who don't have cookies Wink
