Hi!

Which cookie? PHP SID, username, login, ...?

All of them are coded into the Serendipity code. What would changing the name help? Cookie hijacking usually pulls the whole cookie, so changing the name wouldn't give any extra security...

I have 2 bloggs on the same domain ie, http://mydomain.com is the first blog nad the second is on http://mydomain.com/eng and they have the same exact settings cause one is in swedish and one in english, the only thing is that when people switch between them they get "?" marks on all the sidebars etc until they clear their cookies.

Have you tried the latest 1.5 snapshot? I know something related to cookies was recently changed and am curious if it solves your problem.

Hi!

Actually, nesting Serendipity installations into each other is not supported, not only due to cookie issues, but also due to .htaccess things that would nest each other inproperly.
