A: You did? Bugs do happen on the site since it is in a constant state of improvement. If you contact Aron or post in the bug forum, the bug should be taken care of in no time.

A: That is your session id that is used to keep track of some personal details. The session keeps track of if you are logged in and what theme and session name you are using. Most of the time, this will appear when going to different sites. For instance, if you are at ASE Labs and want to go to ASE Forums, the links from ASE Labs will append the asesessid to the URL to make sure you stay logged in. If this wasn't done, you could be not logged in on the different sister site.

It is very important to never leave the session id in the url. If you encounter a link that has a session id, remove it before posting it anywhere. The session handler has security to not allow sessions to be hijacked, but it can only do so much to prevent an attack.

A: This has to do with how the sessions are handled. The site uses two ways to track your session id. The first is the standard cookie that gets set for an individual domain. The second is by attaching your session id to the url. Since a cookie cannot be set for another domain, the session handler always makes sure that links to other sites have the session id in them to make you stay logged in at the different site. If you catch a link that doesn't have your asesessid in it and it leads to a different site, it might not be a link that the session handler can modify. You only need to log in once and to make sure you're logged in on each site, click the links at the top for the Forums, ASEville, and Home for the main site. This will set a cookie for each domain and you will not need to worry about the asesessid in the url.
