[Typo3] typo3.org login dropping?

Hi Matthew,

The login is remembered during the current browser session only. However,
TYPO3 does not consider the login on all pages. This is due to caching
issues:

If the login is not displayed on the top left of each page, the page is
always the same and can therefore be delivered from a proxy server.

This helps to save a LOT of server power and - you might have noticed - has
helped to speed up typo3.org a lot!

However, TYPO3 still remembers that you are logged in. Works as soon as you
click on a page that has the login mode enabled (Profile page, for example)

It may be that there are pages that are don't have the login mode enabled
although they should.

I suggest that you send a list of such pages to webmaster at typo3.org.
