[thelist] Cold Fusion Forms and Cookies Help

[Joshua Olson]

I'm pretty sure that ColdFusion required cfid and cftoken to maintain its
sessions.
Undoubtedly, even though you are using user_id to maintain user information
in the database or some sort of application scope structure, ColdFusion is
still setting cookies that contain cfid and cftoken.  So, you'll need to
pass those two variables in the URL to use the built in sessions if cookies
are disabled.
