I can't do that reliably, my URLs are simply too long on some occasions ... so the URL ends up getting the end cut off... But apparently the sessions expiring isn't an issue afterall ... have had the page loaded for several hours, and the recursive linkage still works ... Will have to upload to my webhost though before I can be absolutely certain ... Retaining matching settings in my test-enviro is not entirely possible because their Apache is older than mine...and they run with globals on, and I design for them off, just to be safe...
